Ather Energy is popular among electric scooter enthusiasts. It was one of the first companies to take the bold step of launching a full-fledged electric vehicle. The scooters were already priced at a premium when compared to their peers. And now, the Ather 450X and Ather 450 Plus have become slightly pricier.
In Bengaluru, the Ather 450 Plus has been priced at Rs 1,31,647 (ex-showroom) and the Ather 450X has been priced at Rs 1,50,657 (ex-showroom). These prices include the Ather Dot or Portable charger. The price hike can be attributed to the price of charger, which was earlier priced at just Re 1, so almost for free. Now, Ather will be charging buyers Rs 5,475 for the charger. The overall price also includes FAME II incentive.
Ather claims the charger is still selling with a discount of 50 percent and this discount will only be available to first-time buyers. Over the ex-showroom price of the scooter, the buyers will have to shell out money on the Insurance, Road tax & Registration charges. Interested buyers can book their scooters for a price of Rs 2,500.
