Ather 450 Electric Scooter Deliveries Commence In Chennai

Deliveries of the remaining batch will begin soon

The Ather 450 is around Rs 9,000 more expensive in Chennai than Bengaluru.  Ather has set up several fast-charging stations in Chennai as well.  It had also launched a home charging point called the Ather Dot some time ago.

Back in July, Ather Energy launched its electric scooters in Chennai and the response was so overwhelming that just after a few days of launch, both the scooters were sold out till November. Now though, the manufacturer has commenced deliveries of its top-spec scooter, the 450. 

The Ather 450 retails at Rs 1.22 lakh (on-road) in Chennai, which is around Rs 9,000 more than what it retails for in Bengaluru. This price difference could be due to the 4 per cent road tax imposed by the government of Tamil Nadu.

The EV maker has also launched a home charging point called the Ather Dot, which comes along with the scooter. Ather could install it at your residence for a sum of Rs 1,800 (includes installation charges, labour charges and more). 

Until now, the Ather 450 has been the top-dog in the electric two-wheeler space, but Bajaj has now entered into this segment with the all-electric Chetak. Bajaj has shared a limited amount of information about the Chetak, but whatever we know so far, is pretty impressive.
