Setting up Your Home Charging Point

Ather 450 Charging
145

I believe around 4.5ft from ground level. I asked for mine to be about foot higher to keep my dogs from playing with it.

I am trying to get approval from my apartmentā€™s management commitee for the charger installation. This being the first ever charging device in the society ( a 250 flats dwelling), they want to talk to ather installation team and I am trying to work with ather offline on this.
In the meantime I have collected questions from them here are the main ones. Can someone here reply them from their home charger installation experience?

  1. How the cable will be drawn to parking,
  2. What kind of wires will be used
  3. What kind of conduit will be used,
  4. Is it going to be single phase or three phase.
  5. How the charger will be placed

The charging team is working in many places in Bengaluru and Chennai to install chargers both. Ather Grid and Home charging Pod (in Bengaluru as of now) Hopefully you should get a call by this weekendā€¦ :slightly_smiling_face:

One query: I got my charging point installed last week and technician told charging will not happen when the DG is ON and it ll charge only on Main power.

I was fine with that. But, wanted to know how others opted and why?

151

Same here.

When the generator is on, it will not charge

I am not sure whether its suitable solution.

Can you check if the generator has grounding done may be that should solve the problem.

Because I read it somewhere grounding should be done for generators as well

153

Generator had grounding but will not support the loadā€¦

Hey guys, got my charger installed a few days back. The thing is, itā€™s green in the mornings and red in the nights. Is this a major problem? Or has it happened to any of you before?

155

How to measure home pod energy consumptionā€¦! Do we have specific smart device can buy onlineā€¦ Will ather team who come for installation do that work for meā€¦!

156

You can use this or similar ones to find the consumption of the pod .

Thank youā€¦ But does this require installation along side home pod?

158

Its a plug and play device , connect this to the wall socket and then pod to this meter, like this if there is provision already made .!

Do you have voltmeter with you? (you may check the line voltage even in BESCOM meter, if it is digital) Guess at night when the line is loaded, voltage falls below acceptable level.

161

Iā€™m facing that issue.

162

My charger was red last night. Tried everything but it still glowed red. Itā€™s worked perfectly fine for the last couple months though. Decided to call Ather Support this morning.
This morning, just checked and it was green.

If this is happening everyday, you might have to get Ather Support to have a look at it.

163

Please share the results after testing if your are planning to get the watt meter .
