Didn’t they have fast charger!!! This is surprising because the test rides are on they should have had one for them at least this is a surprise but something is better than nothing.

There are Ather owners in Mysore. Maybe you can borrow it now and courier it back to them. If they are willing to. Or maybe Ather can lend you one from the temp Ather site.

If your 450 goes to 0% and have abrupt shutdown then it will usually take 30 to 40 mins to reach 1% for 1.5 gen ather. Had experienced so many times. Now a days my 450 shows 4% and next second abrupt shutdown of all lights and display everything and after a minute display will turn on and show 0% charge

That is weird… Has not happened to me… And I have hit 0 to 2% a couple of times atleast smoothly. 1st Gen, not 1.5 though.

Thanks @abhishek.balaji for arranging a 1.5 gen charger for me as a backup.
Will try to replan my trip a bit to reach Cochin by 12th…as the Kochi Experience Center Lauch is happening on the day.
Will be little tight in scheduling but let me try. If charging goes fine I think I can make it.

My initial plan was to chill in Mysore for one day and then start the Day2 itenerary.
Later thought of reaching Kochi on 12th for the EC launch and tried charging to head to Bathery today itself. But charging with gen1 charger was really painful.
By around 2:30 I left Tata charging point with 14% charge after 1.5hrs of charging…reached ather charging…charged till 70% ,enough to reach begur…got the 1.5gen charger…now have reached begur and charging in Indian Oil pump
Plan is to charge to 100% overnight and then ride through Bandipur in the early morning to reach Bathery.
100% charged after 4 hours of charging using 1.5 gen charger:

What a scenic ride ! I am jealous of you… 
Looks like you had less sleep overnight. Be careful when the sun shoots up. You may feel drowsy.

No special grounding needed at all for gen 2 charger? And gen 1 doesn’t work at all?
They seem to have 2 fast charging grid points. I’m sure at leats one should be working. Sixth Avenue cafe and Focus mall. You and your laptop could do well at the café But after that 96Km ride. I wonder how much charge you’ll have left. Focus mall woul be a couple of Km closer
These grid points coming up quick. Real quick. A couple of days back khozikode had only 1 grid point. Kochi also has 6 already. No wonder u wanted to ride to Kochi.
