Ather Energy has collaborated with Google to give real-time availability information on two-wheeler fast charging stations to EV users. This collaboration will allow EV users with the Light Electric Combined Charging System – LECCS (the official Indian EV charging connector standard) on their two-wheelers to easily find Ather Grid fast chargers on Google with complete live status updates of the chargers.
This update aims to make the charging experience at public charging grids more convenient with the following:
- Ather fast-charging station, Ather Grid, can now be found on Google Maps with live status updates.
- Whenever a new charger is installed, it will also be listed on Google Maps.
- LECCS is now officially recognized as a plug type, allowing users to set their default connector or plug type as LECCS on Google Maps. This means chargers with LECCS will appear when searching for “EV charger near me” or “charging stations,” on Google Maps.
- This allows any vehicle with LECCS to easily find and charge at Ather fast-charging station, Ather Grid.
Ather Grid’s fast-charging network for electric two-wheelers is based on the indigenously developed Light Electric Combined Charging System (LECCS), which is approved for nationwide adoption by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Ather currently has 1,973 (as of March 30th, 2024) fast chargers available to the public.
