Even though Vida uses the same charger connector, the charger is different in the following aspects:
It has two outputs, which means two vehicles can be charged at the same time.
It also supports AC charging (the connector seems different, maybe it is for cars, not sure).
There is also a place to sit and relax whereas Ather charger has nothing like it. Since it has LED strips all around, you will never feel like you are sitting in a dark spot.
There is no fan noise (I charged for 33 minutes, and there was no fan noise).
Space was ample.
The charger may have a CCTV camera as well (on the internet it shows this particular one didn’t have it).
The charger is manufactured by Exicom Power Systems. I charged my Ather 450x Gen 3.1 from SOC 69% to 80%, and it took approximately 33 minutes. the charging time estimation on the dashboard was never correct. I have not tried charging after 80%, so I can’t comment on that. Vida has a different billing system. I tried installing the Vida app, but it kept on hanging. I have not been charged at all for charging.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions or need more help, please let me know
This was probably why you didn’t hear fan noise. If this timing is correct then you were charging at 750W which is what the portable/DOT charger pulls for charging the scooter.
19% in 43 mins - thats too slow. Now I’m not sure if its meant to be this way or its an issue. Don’t worry, I did remove and re insert a few times to make sure its not loose or anything. Infact, I changed the charging gun as well (the first one simply said Not Charging)
Same story with me, some dog marks your Ather then when you go to some other area, dogs from that area see it as a challenge and mark it as their own (retaliation)
