A New Chapter: The EL Platform
At the heart of the showcase will be Ather's all-new EL platform, a next-generation electric scooter architecture engineered with versatility and affordability in mind. Breaking away from its traditional premium positioning, Ather is now preparing to make its first move into the sub- Rs. 1 lakh segment. This strategic pivot opens the door to a broader customer base and directly addresses the increasing demand for accessible electric mobility options.
The EL platform is expected to underpin multiple scooters, including concept models as well as near-production prototypes. This development positions Ather as a direct competitor to value-focused EV players like Ola Electric and TVS in the budget segment, while still retaining the brand's signature emphasis on smart technology and design.
Ather Stack 7.0 & New Charging Ecosystem
In addition to the hardware upgrades, Ather will be introducing the AtherStack 7.0, the latest iteration of its proprietary software suite. Although details remain under wraps, the update is expected to enhance performance, rider interface, and connectivity - setting new benchmarks for software integration in two-wheeler EVs.
Also slated for launch is Ather's next-generation fast charging system, which aims to significantly reduce charge times while improving usability across public and private charging networks. The development aligns with Ather's commitment to improving infrastructure and making EV ownership more seamless for users across India.
A Gathering of EV Enthusiasts
Community Day has steadily evolved into a flagship event that goes beyond product reveals - serving as a celebration of Ather's ever-growing ecosystem of owners, fans, and partners. The 2024 edition witnessed the debut of the family-oriented Ather Rizta, the unveiling of the Halo smart helmet, and the introduction of AtherStack 6.0 - all setting the stage for even bigger announcements this year.
The upcoming event is expected to draw thousands of Ather users and EV enthusiasts from across the country. While the exact venue and date are yet to be confirmed, the brand has assured that details will be released soon.
Strategic Partnerships Paving the Way
Ather's growing alliance with Hero MotoCorp, one of its key investors, also adds a collaborative layer to its charging ecosystem. Owners of both Ather and Hero electric vehicles can already share charging stations without additional fees - a move that strengthens EV accessibility and convenience in India's urban centers.
