Hero, Ather Unveil Joint Effort To Strengthen Electric Vehicle Charging Network

India's electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape is poised for rapid expansion following the recent approval by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) of the Light Electric Combined Charging System (LECCS). This marks a significant milestone as it is India's first domestically developed standard for AC and DC combined charging connectors specifically designed for light electric vehicles. Notably, both Hero and Ather are gearing up to capitalize on this development to better serve their customer base.

For Hero and Ather electric two-wheeler users, the approval of LECCS means they can now easily locate nearby charging stations that are compatible with their respective vehicles. This enhanced convenience is facilitated through the 'My Vida' and Ather smartphone applications. These applications empower EV users to not only identify the nearest charging points but also to check the availability of these stations in real time. Additionally, users can use the applications to navigate to the charging station hassle-free.

In an ambitious move, Hero and Ather have ambitious plans to establish a network of 1900 fast-charging points across 100 cities in India. This joint effort aims to create a comprehensive and accessible charging infrastructure, ensuring that EV users have ample options for charging their vehicles conveniently. The widespread implementation of LECCS is a pivotal step toward fostering the growth of the EV ecosystem in the country.

Hero MotoCorp Chief Business Officer (Emerging Mobility BU) Swadesh Srivastava said "This largest charging network in the country will go a long way in providing a seamless & convenient ownership experience to customers. This fastest-growing network utilises the government approved connector-standard, thus ensuring current and future customers will be able to use and charge their vehicles without any hassles in the future too,"
