Hi, Abhishek in the busy day, I hope in the coming days Ather releases the Incident report public. so the rumours can be shut clear.
It’s bcz of some external reason or any Ather burn
Someone from Ather Owners WhatsApp group says it is ceiling shot/short circuit
Maybe, but I would actually wait for the actual report for my inner peace .
Yes we need to know the root cause of the incident
There was a fire in Ather showroom yesterday (May 27). Good to hear that it is minor and everyone were safe.
I believe, as owners of Ather, we should know details of the reason of the fire as this concerns safety of riders. Please update
No, 450x has around 168 cells, But the CEO said the fired scooter had 224, that means it’s a older gen 450, BTW that photo is from pune service centre.
450 has more cells than 450x? How?
Check this out! It shows how the new 21700 cells are replacing the 18650 in the same form factor.
Maybe the cell type changed to 21700( correct me if I am wrong) so they were able to add more power and range using less cells?
What is this stupidity? If something not clear or need some clarifications, nothing wrong in putting their doubts as a neutral media / journal.
This looks more like a targeted write-up with lot of assumptions.
I had some respect for Plug India
They just proved that it was black smoke and so it was not a battery fire and it was a short circuit! Eureka moment!
Ugh, that channel is sponsored by ola, ever since they have got their ola scooter, they have been non-stoping posting how good the scooter is even by creating videos explaing about it . I would not trust their opinion nor any article written by them.
On the same day, they put a tweet related Ola Fire also. This looks like to make them appear unbiased.
When so many news going around Ola for Fire, Reverse, Suspension Broke down, severe accidents, they were largely mum about it, except a blog which dealt overall topic recent EV fire incidents.
I like their videos, nice coverage on all EV news including charging infrastructure. Better they stay to their content and be unbiased.
I was at a conference two weeks ago and two of the speakers used ola’s and Ather’s examples to teach how to build better products. Also, seems like Ather’s open policy did the trick. I don’t see many people talking about the EC fire.
When will this experience centre be available again any update. Have to take my 450 for service and i don’t want to go to guindy
The service center has already opened and i have went there on Saturdays for some noise check, you can visit them too.
