Ather 450X in Thrissur city

Thrissur, known as the cultural capital of Kerala, is now becoming a hub for electric mobility. With rising fuel prices and growing environmental awareness, residents of Thrissur are increasingly turning to Ather electric scooters for their daily commute.

Cost Savings for Thrissur Commuters

One of the main reasons Thrissur residents are choosing Ather is the significant cost savings. With electricity costs in Kerala being among the lowest in India, charging an Ather scooter costs just ₹1.25 per km compared to ₹2.5-3 for petrol vehicles. For daily commuters traveling 20km/day, this translates to savings of over ₹1000 per month.

Performance in Thrissur's Terrain

Thrissur's mix of urban roads and occasional hilly terrain requires a vehicle with strong torque and responsive handling. The Ather 450X delivers:

  • Instant torque (0-40km/h in 3.3 seconds)
  • Hill hold assist for slopes
  • Regenerative braking that recovers energy

Charging Infrastructure in Thrissur

Autostarke Energy has established multiple Ather Grid charging points across Thrissur:

  • Sakthan Stand (City Center)
  • Vilvam Centre (East Fort)
  • Guruvayur Temple Parking Area

These locations allow Ather owners to charge their scooters while shopping or during temple visits.
