it looked like that was a media-only event where they keep them posted and give them a small test ride and everything, but they can’t share any details outside until the official launch. Keep the hopes HIGH.

What are the changes That Ather owners might face?
Nothing, the compliance in Ather already exceeds AIS specifications, Tarun has mentioned this many times so you won’t be expecting any changes in Ather.

It is very unfortunate for precious lives to be lost. Only way to console is that the earlier problems are noted by authorities and stringent the rules can be made in quality and testing of EVs and chargers
Not sure how the cheapest electric vehicles have been authorized to be sold like this without any regulated tests on the vehicles reliability.

There were many cheaper vehicles even before Ather also… like Ampere greaves, Okinawa, Hero Optima. They had their own share of problems on service, reliability, performance, but such fire accidents were hardly making news in last 10 years.
These looks to be new local brands trying to utilise the EV momentum by selling cheap imports or local assembled ones without good Quality checks and without proper testing.

Those who closely follow the India EV space and those who are Tesla fans (the intersecting area of this Venn Diagram is very high 
) will know what a big deal this is!
