Hey, if you’ve let Customer Care know about your requirement, they’ll reach out to you when there are stocks available with the payment link.
He Abhishek. We have been said this many times. But when wil it be available?
why mismatch in even portable charges - the portable chargers never get expired nor it gets spoiled or expired , then why no availability of chargers .
if you make more production of chargers are they to be dead stock ya ather is not interested in making of large production,
if there is fund problem in Ather why don’t they take full payment of chargers and deliver to ather customers who are interested in buying .
when you expand big in market a request that all the accessories require while bike delivery is also available as customer interested for it .
IN THIS FORUM THE TEAM HEAD EVEN DO NOT HAVE IDEA WHEN THE PORTABLE CHARGERS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR BUYING FOR CHENNAI CUSTOMERS
HOPE THE TEAM HEAD GIVES THE EXACT DATE OF IT
Hi Mukesh,
The process for getting a portable charger is to currently register a request with Customer Care and they will reach out to you when your portable charger is available for pickup. There are already a lot of people who’ve requested for it and the team is fulfilling them as we get stocks.
i have register with customer care on November 1st week itself for charger , they said by nonmember end will get the stocks , this week i called up again they say now December end . so this how Ather works - i really do not know why mismatch which already raise the issue in above reply
dear abhishek there is reply from twitter handle of Ather kindly read this "**
Not all owners choose to purchase a portable charger with their Ather. Hence, we take certain decisions for production of accessories basis the demand at the time and expected demand in the future.
you to agree
There are already a lot of people who’ve requested for it and the team is fulfilling them as we get stock
so there is lot of production mismatch or fear of dead stocks in Ather of not going to be sold
I have got one, using it to charge at office and outside the city. You must buy a 15 AMP to 5 AMP converter to charge anywhere. The charging time is same as DOT I feel. But its very heavy and it occupies most of the boot space in my vehicle.
If you actually see the portable charger directly you will not feel like buying it but if you go outstation frequently or if your workplace has charging facility for E-vehicles then you can think of buy it.
Did the payment link came for you?
yes email came @ 5.04 pm today , C.C even called they have sent the link and payment done @ 5.16 pm today.
wishing even my other ather riders in chennai get the payment link quickly as chennai requires lot
my payment link came as well at 5 pm yesterday but it showed the payment is already done, also i requested a new link , at 8 a new link came i paid it at that time , now just awaiting from CC to give the time to collect it
Since I have the Community Portable Charger (version 2.0) with me now, Yesterday evening I did a quick side-by-side comparison with my own portable charger (version 1.0)
Adapter Dimensions | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Length (in) | Breadth (in) | Height (in) | Weight (kg) | |
Version 1.0 | 6.5 | 2.5 | 1.5 | 0.500 |
Version 2.0 | 8.25 | 4.25 | 3.25 | 2.500 |
Cable Length Dimensions | ||
---|---|---|
From adapter to power plug (ft) | From adapter to vehicle side plug (ft) | |
Version 1.0 | 0.67 (8 inches) | 6.50 |
Version 2.0 | 6.50 | 4.00 |
The package
V2.0 comes with a case made with felt like material. The V1.0 came in a small pullstring clothbag

Version 1.0 with my half face helmet in the boot
I also have space to keep a rain coat, a cloth jacket, a small mask in this (not in picture). I can replace this helmet with a full face one.
Version 2.0 in the boot
Version 2.0 with my half face helmet just about fit in the boot
No space for anything else! forget a full face helmet.
Summary | ||
---|---|---|
Version1.0 | Version 2.0 | |
Plus | ||
Small and portable | Sufficiently long cables | |
5A plug-can charge almost everywhere | Low grounding issues | |
Lightweight | Scooter is now lighter | |
Works with older 450 too | ||
Minus | ||
Sensitive to grounding issues | Big and Bulky | |
Doesn’t work with new 450 | Heavy | |
Short cable length | Cannot wake up older 450 from 0% SOC | |
15A plug-not easy to find everywhere |
How fast is the charging? Is it slower or faster compared to v 1.0
Did everyone get this ?
did you collect your charger ?
No call from C.C YET
I think you should call them up. Because in Bangalore you can collect it anytime after you’ve completed the payment. Since it’ll be at the ather space and they just need confirmation of the payment.
Jus called C.C , they say some update for consumer friendly in A.P.C , after 7 working days it will be available for pick up & they will call once it ready to pick up from space
One Question to the @Ather.Team
Old home charger was called Point
New home charger is called Dot
Old portable charger was called Cable
Why isn’t the new portable charger given any name? It could’ve been named as “Line” or “Box” or something like that
It does look like a Dash
