Ather has now limited the charging of its e-scoots to 80 percent at Ather grids

The moment it hits 80 percent, the solenoid switch will disconnect, meaning the scooter’s no longer charging

For the uninitiated, Solenoids are essential electromechanical devices that control the flow of electricity to the battery, frequently used in locking mechanisms

What arcing essentially means is the spark between the two plugs

With so many Ather e-scoots on the road today, the brand has done so to ensure fair usage

It should also save time, easing congestion at the grids

That might sound disappointing but 80 percent charging should mean you have enough juice to get out of sticky situations
