Rs 420cr wrongly charged by @atherenergy & @OlaElectric to scooters owners? 📛📛📛

As per Govt’s Vahan portal, the number of scooters sold by Ola & Ather to date (as per Vahan) stand at 1.72L & 1.25L.
But Vahan portal doesn’t yet include sales from Telangana & Lakshwadeep. Thus, let’s round up the sales to account for some of that:
🔆 Ola: 1.8L
🔆 Ather: 1.3L

But, what really drove those big numbers?
🔆 Govt’s FAME scheme which has been massively subsidising electric scooters
🔆 In layman terms, the scheme says that after subsidy, the ex-showroom of a price of a scooter should be <Rs 1.5L. And this subsidy could go up to Rs 60k!

#Thread about EV Bikes & why @ather is solid?
The biggest lesson that @OlaElectric taught to all aspirational startups is that if you wanna disrupt the market come with a solid foolproof product rather than dumping the garbage. ⬇️ (1/14)

It was in the year 2017 I read about a passionate product incubated in IIT Madras. A group of engineers trying to build a world-class eScooter naming the company Ather Energy. EVs are not new to South India. (2/14)

They're way ahead of their time when India is not ready for EVs (3/14)

1/365 - Starting this thread with one of the first Motorcycles to be built in India. The @royalenfield #Bullet350. A Motorcycle which was initially built for the Indian Army but with time found patronage amongst varying genre of people achieving a cult status over the decades.
2/365 - After selling imported Vespas for a while, Bajaj Auto started manufacturing the #Bajaj150 under license in 1959. This was one of the first Scooters in India and certainly changed the 2-Wheeler scene as it was initially available at a significant premium in the market.
3/365 Automobile Products of India (API) was the 1st Scooter maker in India and manufactured the #Lambretta Li 150 Series 2 under license from Innocenti at Bombay in the 1960's. This scooter was very popular and made appearances in a few famous Bollywood movies too. #BikerLife
Welcome to #Mumbai @atherenergy!
Finally a test ride after years of wait; yes, following you folks since 2015 :)
Can’t wait for 28th Jan for the #Ather 450X!
Best wishes to everyone for the launch!
I’ve enough to drag me for next 10 days 😃😅

@atherenergy As a EV rider since 2015, here's my take on Ather 450 after today's test ride. My first EV scooter was Hero Electric Photon. And currently own the Ampere Reo.
@atherenergy Photon was victim of deadly rat infestation which damaged its controller and batteries to a point that getting the Reo in exchange was better option.
