Electric vehicles are becoming a lot more common in the country. Even though electric vehicles are becoming popular one of the main concern or issue the most of the electric vehicle owners have is the charging stations. In a recent incident an electric scooter owner was denied permission to install a charging station in the parking area in Bengaluru, Karnataka. As a protest, the owner loaded his Ather electric scooter in the elevator and charged it in his apartment in fifth floor.
The owner of the Ather electric scooter, Vish Ganti, Vice President of Product Management & GM AutoGrid India wrote on LinkedIn about this incident. The post says, “You might have heard about Desi “Jugaad” but here is something I had to pull off today. Honestly never thought a day like this would come….

2. Ola will takeover the entire scooter business (petrol+eScooter) in India in 3 short years
3. Hero, Bajaj, TVS, have just 3 yrs to find a business, bring it to India, get it started… do advertisment and find buyers… Bajaj is setting up a new company for EV Vehicles… Hero Motorcorp is bringing Gogoro business to India… obviously there is no time for all this circus… they should have invested in an Indian startup which is already making eScooters… best one to buy was PureEV.
If I was to invest in a company I would have invested in PureEV… lambi race ka ghoda hai yea PureEV…
I think the Heros, Bajajs, TVS, etc they have no idea what is going to hit them in 1.5 year time
This Diwali Indian eScooter market…
Continue readingI support Simple Energy because:
1. Unlike Ola… Simple has given its Range and price. Ola is hiding a lot of things, yet opened its bookings. This is ABSOLUTELY WRONG… Nobody knows it’s range or price or specs so how can they ask you for money? Just by advertisement?
2. Simple has removable battery … while Ola, Ather, Chetak & iQube all have FIXED battery.
3. Simple has higher range.
4. Simple’s price is justified.
5. Ola owner Bhavesh Agrawal is not the creator of that vehicle so he will keep taking wrong decisions unlike Simple creator. One eg is Fixed battery. That fellow has no idea what the problems are with fixed battery. End result could be what happened with Mahindra & E2O creator Chetan Maini.
6. Ola is only good for taxi-scooter business … because of its existing taxi business model… that is if Ola is bringing that into the scooter. But there also it will waste a lot of time charging itself. Ola might see 80% cancellation if the battery is fixed.
