Having said that, the first Ather Grid installation in New Delhi employs technology from the previous iteration of the charging station, not the improved version which will be available in the near future. The new version juices up the 450X’ new battery pack 50 per cent faster, that’s 1.45km/min instead of the previous 1km/min -- a 45 percent improvement in charging speeds. However, if you were to charge the scooter via a conventional 5 amp socket, it takes up to 5 hours 45 minutes to full charge -- 15 minutes longer than before. The increase in charge time is due to the 450X’ denser 2.61kWh battery pack.

It's the best scooty in this electric segment. Very comfortable and stylish. No need to worry about it. Just buy when you have money. I took it through finance with Bajaj and pay monthly emi. It's good to drive also for girls or women. Go for it and be 100 percent happy. Love the scooty and thanks to ather.
A typical petrol scooter incurs a cost of ₹2.2/km whereas the Ather 450X costs ₹0.2/km. This means if you ride the scooter for 100 km a week, you save more than ₹10,000 on fuel every year. So, the more you ride, the more you save. It's a very good option for daily living and it's a very good commuter .
