Check Offers For Ather Energy, the distinction has never been so much about motors and batteries. The firm has constructed much of its brand on software, networking, and the riding experience—a strategy that differentiates it in a saturated EV scooter landscape. At this year’s Community Day 2025, set for August 30, Bengaluru-based startup Ather Energy is likely to unveil its next upgrade, Ather Stack 7.0, as well as other fresh announcements.
The annual event has evolved into more than a gathering of early adopters. It has become a window into how Ather wants to position itself, not only as a scooter maker, but as a technology company that uses hardware as the platform and software as the differentiator.

What Stack 7 promises
While the company has not shared specifics, Stack 7.0 is being spoken of as a major step forward from the existing interface that powers its scooters today. The current version already includes conveniences like WhatsApp notifications, voice-assistant integration, and live navigation updates. The new stack is expected to bring a redesigned interface, smoother app integration, better ride analytics, and possibly predictive features such as service reminders or charging alerts.
Owners on the Ather forum have speculated that beta testing may begin within months of the event, with wider rollouts later this year. That reflects a more staggered approach, avoiding the “all at once” software updates that in the past left some riders waiting longer than others.

Hardware announcements too
But Community Day won’t be just about software. Ather is also expected to lift the covers on its EL platform, which could underpin a new range of scooters targeted at the mass market. With rivals like Ola Electric, TVS, and Hero MotoCorp all pushing aggressively into affordable and practical EVs, Ather’s move is seen as a bid to broaden its reach beyond the premium niche.
The company is also rumoured to showcase an updated fast-charging ecosystem, a nod to the fact that charging convenience remains as much a barrier to EV adoption as sticker prices.
A measured approach
If the past is any indication, Ather will not rush into volume claims. Its strength has been in cultivating a loyal base of riders who value attention to detail. But the context today is different, investors are pressing for profitability, rivals are scaling up aggressively, and the consumer is spoiled for choice.
Stack 7 and the products that follow will therefore carry more weight than usual. They will not only signal what Ather can deliver to its community, but also how it plans to stand its ground in an industry that is moving from early adopters to the mainstream at a rapid pace.
