You Can Now Charge Your Ather 450X Base Variant Faster, Cheaper But...

Ather introduced a more affordable variant of Ather 450X, which increased its accessibility a lot more. While it missed out on some features, which is okay, apart from one thing. A fast charger!! The bundled charger takes a whopping 12 hours to charge it from 0-80%. If you wanted a quick charge of 4.5 hours, you had to shell out approx Rs. 30,000 more for the Pro pack. Still, you miss out on the Ather Grid fast charging network in the base model.

But now, Ather has given buyers the option for this fast charging, at a steep discounted price. But, there is a catch. Let's get into it right away.

Ather Dot Home Charger For Ather 450X At Just Rs. 7,500, Only Till...

Ather 450X base model owners can now opt for an Ather Dot home charger for fast charging of 0-80% in just 4.5 hours for just Rs.7,500. This is the same charger that you get with the Pro pack, but there is a catch. Firstly, it is not portable like the pro pack, but a home mount unit. You miss out on the flexibility to carry it on trips. Secondly, this offer is available only till the stock lasts. While the limitations are there, it still outweighs the pros for sure.

One interesting feature is that you can pair the charger with your particular Ather 450X scooter so that no other users can access it without your permission. Well, while you miss out on other features( which you already were okay with), a fast charging option is not one of them anymore, at least for now. On top of that, You will be saving quite a substantial amount simultaneously by not having to go for the Pro pack.

VERDICT- While the base model owners were aware that they are going to miss out on the features, the fast charging option should not have been one of them. This offer by the company is a step in the right direction where the pros outweigh the cons. If you're thinking to get your hands on one, this is the time.
