Hero MotoCorp is going to use Ather Energy’s proprietary fast-charging connector technology. The two-wheeler giant is likely to implement this tech in its electric scooters, however, the company is yet to enter the E2W segment.

Ather Energy had made its fast-charging connector tech public in August 2021. Since then, the EV-maker has received interest from multiple players in the market. Hero MotoCorp has become the first major OEM to adopt this tech.

Hero MotoCorp owns a 35% stake in Ather Energy. However, when it comes to developing electric two-wheelers, both companies have been working independently. While Ather Energy has been in the E2W segment for quite some time now, Hero MotoCorp is yet to make its first move.

Hero MotoCorp did tease its first electric scooter earlier this year. The company is expected to launch the E2W in the first quarter of 2022.
