Ather Energy Rolls Out Its 1,00,000th Electric Scooter In India

Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer, Ather Energy, has rolled out its 1,00,000th electric scooter in India. Announcing the new production milestone on social media, the company Co-Founder and CEO, Tarun Mehta said – “Aaaand now we are at 100k! Celebrating roll out of the 100,000th scooter at our factory recently.” 

The company launched its first scooter, the Ather450 back in 2018, and two years later replaced it with the new-gen model, the 450X. The company took a little over 4 years to achieve this milestone, and while the number might look small in the conventional sense, we must consider the fact that the company had to face several challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic and global component shortage. In comparison rival, Ola Electric managed to achieve the same feat in less than a year.
