Ather Energy, an electric two-wheeler manufacturer, announced a collaboration with Google to provide real-time availability information on two-wheeler fast charging stations to EV users.
The 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 locate 'Ather Grid' fast chargers on Google, as well as complete live status updates on the chargers, according to the company.
Chargers with LECCS will appear when searching for 'EV charger near me' or 'charging stations" on Google Maps, and whenever a new charger is installed, it will also be listed on Google Maps, the company said.
Ather Grid's fast-charging network for electric two-wheelers is based on an indigenously developed LECCS that has been approved for national adoption by the Bureau of Indian Standards, according to Ather Energy.
The new standard was introduced last year in a significant step towards creating a universal standard through interoperability, paving the way for increased adoption of electric vehicles in the country.
Ather Energy reported that 1,973 fast chargers were already available to the public as of March 30, 2024.
