Hero Vida fast-charging network in India: details

Vida has set up nearly 300 fast-charging stations across 50 "key locations" across Delhi, Bengaluru and Jaipur. The fast-chargers can be located through the My Vida app and the availability, reservation and payment for the process is all done via the app itself. Both variants of the Vida V1 can be charged at the rate of 1.2km/min, when plugged into a fast charger. 

The Vida V1 e-scooters can also be charged using Ather’s widespread Grid fast-charging network, since both use the same open-sourced connector design. Recently, we also learned that Vida will be opening a showroom in Mumbai in the next six months and to read more about that, click here.
