Ola Electric and Ather Energy to reimburse EV charger amount
Ola Electric and Ather Energy on Thursday said they will reimburse the cost of chargers to buyers of electric scooters in the larger interest of the EV ecosystem.
In a statement on Twitter, Ola said the electric vehicle industry has witnessed unprecedented success in the last couple of years despite attempts from vested interest groups, like the recent narrative on charger pricing.
“As a leader of the industry, we remain committed to putting our customers first. Therefore, setting aside the technicalities and as an example for others to follow, we have decided to reimburse the charger monies to all eligible customers,” it stated.
In a separate statement on Twitter, Ather Energy said that over the last few weeks, the company has been in discussion with the ministry of heavy industries on the topic of bundling chargers with the purchase of an EV scooter.
“While there is no legal compliance requirement to bundle chargers, we recently made the change to bundle the charger with the vehicle,” it said.
