Ather’s New BaaS Model Can Save You Up To 40% on EV Bike Cost — Here’s How It Works

Electric vehicles are getting smarter, but now Thanks to Ather’s latest announcement, they’re also getting a lot more affordable!

If you’ve ever dreamt of owning an EV bike but hesitated due to the high price tag, Ather’s new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model might just be the game changer you've been waiting for.

Let’s break down what this means for you, and why it could completely change the way India rides, especially for those looking for EV rentals in Bangalore.

What is Battery-as-a-Service?

In a typical EV bike purchase, nearly 40% of the cost goes toward the battery. But with Ather’s BaaS model, you won’t have to pay for the battery upfront.

Instead, you can lease the battery from a bank or finance partner, and pay monthly or per-kilometre, just like a subscription.

That means you only pay for the scooter body initially, which lowers the upfront cost significantly.

The price difference is huge!

• Traditional Cost: Ather 450S with battery – around ₹1.29 lakh*

• With BaaS: Starts at just ₹75,000*

This new pricing model could open the doors to thousands of new EV riders — students, delivery riders, working professionals, basically anyone who wants an efficient ride without breaking the bank.

In cities like Bangalore, where fuel prices are high and traffic is heavy, EV bike rental in Bangalore or even ownership becomes a smart move.

What makes this exciting?

• 💰 Lower upfront cost

• 🔋 No battery maintenance hassles

• 🔄 Option to upgrade or replace batteries easily

• 🛵 More people can now afford premium EVs

Ather will retain ownership of the battery, which means they'll be responsible for its upkeep. That’s one less thing for you to worry about.

Ather’s broader plan

This move is just the beginning. Ather also plans to:

• Launch a brand new low-cost EV scooter this year

• Expand to 750+ retail outlets across India

• Introduce faster chargers and improved software features

It’s clear they’re on a mission to make EVs mainstream  and this is a step in the right direction. For users in Bangalore, this means better access to EV support and charging stations in your city.
