Ather to Unveil New EL Platform on August 30, 2025: Know What to Expect

Ather Energy is getting ready for its big Community Day on August 30, 2025. This will be the third edition of the event, and the company has exciting plans. The electric scooter brand will launch its all-new EL platform and several concept models.

It will also introduce faster chargers and its updated Ather Stack 7.0 software. The EL platform is aimed at making electric scooters more affordable and versatile. With this move, Ather wants to reach more customers in India and abroad while competing strongly with rivals in the sub-1 lakh segment.

Ather’s EL Platform: Affordable and Versatile

Ather Energy is well known for its premium electric scooters. But until now, it has not offered any model under Rs 1 lakh. This gap has allowed competitors like TVS, Ola Electric, Vida, Bajaj, and Greaves to attract more budget-conscious buyers.

The new EL platform is designed to change that. It will support affordable models without losing performance or quality. It combines parts from the current Ather 450 platform with an upgraded powertrain and electronics. This helps keep costs down while offering advanced features.

The EL platform will be used for scooters in both domestic and international markets. By making this shift, Ather hopes to grow its market share and appeal to more riders. The company believes the platform’s versatility will allow it to develop different models for different needs.

New Concept Models on the Way

During Community Day 2025, Ather will not only showcase the EL platform but also unveil several concept scooters. Some will be based on the new EL platform, while others might use the existing Rizta or 450 platforms.

Concept models are a way for Ather to show its future design and technology direction. They also give customers a taste of what may arrive in the coming years. While details are still secret, Ather’s past concept reveals suggest a mix of practical and futuristic designs.

These concepts could include new features for comfort, safety, and performance. They may also highlight ways to make electric scooters more fun and convenient for daily life.

Faster Charging and New Software

Charging time is important for electric scooter owners. Ather’s current Grid chargers already deliver 1.5km of range per minute for Ather scooters. Even Vida scooters benefit from this, thanks to Ather’s open-sourced connector.

The next-generation Grid fast chargers, set to launch on Community Day, promise even better performance. They aim to make charging quicker and more convenient for all users.

In addition, Ather will introduce Ather Stack 7.0, the latest version of its software platform. This update is expected to bring major improvements in tech features, connectivity, and user experience. Ather’s software updates in the past have added navigation, ride stats, and improved performance. Stack 7.0 could take this even further.
