Thanks for reaching out about the trip efficiency meter and your suggestion for a live efficiency graph! We hear you, and understand how valuable Wh/km readings can be, especially for understanding scooter performance.
Here’s what went into the decision to remove the real-time efficiency meter:
Focus on User Needs: As Ather reaches a wider audience, we’re constantly learning about user preferences. Our data indicated that the real-time efficiency meter was primarily used by an extremely small, highly enthusiastic segment of riders. For many users, it added additional complexity to the interface to understand Wh/km as a metric and how it translates to their rides. We prioritize a clean and simple experience for everyone and felt that redefining efficiency as kms/unit of electricity was significantly simpler, but still gives enough context to the enthusiastic segment of riders.
The Future is Personalized: We completely agree on the value of features like live efficiency graphs for power users. In the future, as we develop more personalized experiences, giving users like yourself the option to customize their screens with features like these is definitely a priority. We can’t share a specific timeline yet, but hold tight!
Your feedback is very valuable, and it helps us shape the future of the Ather experience. We look forward to hearing more from you!
