@abhishek.balaji has the portable charger cost increased from 4k to 9k, is the first gen charger priced lower? Is it still available? Why the second gen charger so costly any additional features?
Even I’m not satisfied with the price almost doubled 9135rs/-
Yes it’s available now

No justification for the same either. Increasing this accessory cost is highly unappreciated

First Gen charger is available, but will not be compatible with your vehicle if you use the Ather Dot. The first gen charger was meant for the vehicles with the onboard charger

No changes in the performance of the portable charger. It’ll charge at the same rate as the Ather Dot.

Sad to see that Ather has almost doubled the price of portable charger to increase there profit they have taken the customers for ride… very very bad way of doing business this way… u have made the charging point proprietary hence customers are left with no options but to buy from you & please dont think we will believe that raw material costs have gone up etc etc… in electronics prices comes down on mass production but never increases to double.

Greetings!
I had opted for the portable charger alone (the black one), at the time of the purchase of the vehicle, and have been using it till date. I’ve been here in Udupi district at my home, with my 450 for the last 3 months.
About three days ago, while the vehicle was charging, it stopped charging midway at 80%, and wouldn’t charge again, despite replugging in the charger multiple times. FYI, the charger shows the green light all the time, and the scooter too didn’t show up any error on the error screen, and everything else seems to be perfectly fine. All that happens is that the scooter detects the charger when it’s plugged in, but says “not charging”.
And yes, I had tried it out with different plug points too; the charger shows the green light in each case.
Looks like some weird anomaly…It’s not currently possible for me to come back to Bengaluru with my 450, or send it across for servicing, any time soon, given the recent unprecedented spike in the number of the COVID-19 cases here in Udupi district.
Please help me solve this.
Thank you!!!
