Make sure to charge fully in Khopoli, before starting the ghat, it’s too steep. Take from my experience, you will need 3 times the battery per ghat km compared to straight road.

Reached smoky mountains (next to Khandala motor garage) with 19kms left. … thanks for your advice. The 45 mins charging break at the dhaba helped me.

Reached Pune nearly after 12 hrs:grinning: (3 hrs charge time in Khandala 
) … I think its not too bad. Loved the stretch in the evening from Khandala. Drove 60 kms non stop. No map resets, no dashboard restarts. Not even once. I think it goes crazyy when its too hot outside.
@tarun please install one Ather grid in Khandala or wherever you feel like to make the journey from Bombay to Pune a real fun for most of us. Simply loved it. 
Will go sleep now.

They did not. I am so glad. The place is a chikky & general store. The owner is a nice uncle & an EV enthusiast. Loved talking to him on EVs, fame subsidy, politics, etc.
He charged me rs. 100 for 3 hrs. God bless him.

100 is a lot as even the dc fast charger’s charges are around 20rs per kW of consumption but nevertheless it’s good that he is offering one !
Would have loved more photos and complete ride statistics or the kms you achieved compared to the estimated figure,your riding style , anythings to keep in mind This will be helpful for enthusiasts who are planning such ev rides!

Hi @rajkumar.mishra2010 Smoky Mountains guy is crazy with his rates. But bargain!
My recommendation is to visit the - Trinetra Petrol pump - which is also on the app look for Lonavala Community charge point for location.
The Mumbai-Pune electric car community has been using that for 5+ years.
Opps u already visited.
Oh well glad u met the Allaudin and enjoyed the magic carpet

Alright, on my way back to Bombay (220 kms) Started at 7 am from Kharadi, Pune First stop: Copa Cabana, Wakad, Ather grid Distance travelled: 24 kms SoC on arrival: 79% Total charge time: 45 mins (15 mins to charge)
Alright, reached Smoky Mountains, next to Khandala Motor Garage
Distance travelled: 60kms
Time reached: 10 am
SoC on arrival: 27%
Total charge time: 1.5 hrs (to 55%)
Time left: 11.30 am
Will finish some office work
Alright, 3rd stop Some dhaba in Panvel bypass SoC on arrival: 20% Time reached: 1 pm Distance travelled: 40 kms Total charge time: 1.5 hrs Will have lunch here.
Left Panvel dhaba with 38 kms range left & had 48 kms to reach Mulund, Ather grid. Power cuts at the dhaba tested my patience & I decided to leave & charge again somewhere when I had 10 kms left. Asked a few stores but they denied. A public toilet was the last option. It was so embarrassing but nevertheless I got the precious electrons. Charged their for 20 mins.
4th stop: Mulund West, Ather grid SoC on arrival: 5% Total distance travelled: 48 kms Charge time: 50 mins (to 83%). FC feels sooo good.
Travelled another 55 kms to reach home with 16 kms left.
Phew…! Will I do this again? NO…!
So, total hrs spent to reach Virar from Pune: 12 hrs
