Ather Energy has introduced three new programs to boost the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs): Battery as a Service (BaaS), an Extended Comprehensive Warranty (ECW), and an expanded Assured Buyback program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ather's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to the company, EV buyers’ top three concerns are high upfront costs, uncertainty about resale value, and warranty-related issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ather Energy Launches BaaS, Extended Warranty, and Assured Buyback to Drive EV Adoption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ather Rizta model is now available to customers with BaaS for \u20b975,999 (ex-showroom Lucknow), which is 30% less than the regular <\/a>purchase model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ex-showroom price of the 450 Series scooters is now \u20b984,341, and there are various battery usage plans available each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers are charged according to the number of kilometers they travel under BaaS, and the battery’s cost is recouped over three to four years, depending on the customer’s preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a 48-month plan that costs \u20b91 per kilometer and requires a minimum of 1,000 kilometers of usage per month, the BaaS payment system is usage-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ather Energy CBO Says India\u2019s Expanding EV Market Brings Diverse Customer Needs and Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ravneet S. Phokela, Chief Business Officer at Ather Energy, the growing EV market in India is attracting clients with a wide range of demands and difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, \u201cWith BaaS, ECW and Assured Buyback, we aim to address major barriers that exist for customers when purchasing a new EV scooter. As one of the leading players, we stay committed to making it easier for families to experience the benefits of EVs.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More buyers are now covered by Ather’s expanded Assured Buyback program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the number of kilometers driven, the program promises up to 60% of the scooter’s value after three years and up to 50% after four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said, \u201cThis addresses one of the most common concerns among potential EV buyers and the uncertainty around resale values in a rapidly evolving market.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battery and eleven other important parts are covered against manufacturing flaws for a maximum of five years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, under Ather’s Extended Comprehensive Warranty (ECW).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
