Ather Energy, electric scooter manufactures , recently announced their partnership with Google to show the availability of two – wheeler fast charging stations on Google maps.
This collaboration will enable EV users with the Light Electric Combined Charging System - LECCS (the official Indian EV charging connector standard) on their two-wheelers to navigate Ather Grid fast chargers on Google with complete live status updates of the chargers.
The new update aims to make charging experience at public charging grids more convenient as the Ather charging grid can be found on Google maps with live status, instalment of any new charger will be listed on Google, and on searching for "charging stations" or "EV charger near me", LECSS chargers will appear on Google.
Ather's charging network for EV two-wheelers is based on Light Electric Combined Charging System (LECCS). It is approved for nation-wide adoption by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The new standard was launched in the previous year.
