What exactly is the concern with the subscription plan? They are not going to reduce prices - they can’t.
@raghav.srinivasan There are some high probability that some light users might end up paying huge amount of subscription price, without getting any benefit out of the battery warranty with the current price and the battery capability. @sumanth1998 spreadsheet in the above thread explains it well.
Some of the prospective 450x buyers here are awaiting for Ather to come up with High Initial Downpayment and Low Subscription cost. 1,29,000/- and 1,099/- Something in this range as discussed in the Open forum.
Why not buy it upfront? We’ll have lease and loan options coming soon for upfront purchase, so that should serve light users.
What does your daily usage look like?
Adding to what @sunku.vignesh said,
I think pluginindia captured this sentiment well. Ather is trying to push performance on an electric scooter and that is the direction we’re taking now. Everyone seems to be expecting a cheap scooter, which goes 150+ kms, with high performance, with super fast charging, all priced at 75k?
It’s unreasonable to expect that such a product would exist right now, given that EV market is just evolving.
