  "account": "EV manufacturer Ather Energy showcased its latest Konarc electric scooter during its annual Community Day event. Priced starting at ₹99,999, the Konarc targets the mass-market segment. The scooter offers four claimed range options, including 100 km, 120 km, 165 km, and an impressive 200 km. Ather co-founder and CEO Tarun Mehta highlighted how the scooter's 14-inch front wheel and long-travel suspension contribute to greater stability and comfort during extended rides. The company introduced its Advanced Electronic Braking System (AeBS) alongside the Konarc, boasting 20% higher peak braking force for increased rider control. The Konarc features a built-in 450 W onboard charger compatible with standard power sockets, with the option to use an extra portable charger. Just a day prior to Ather's Community Day, competitor Ola Electric unveiled its S1Z escooter range, powered by the company's homegrown 46-series lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Bharat Cell technology, as it aims to capture the mass-market electric two-wheeler market.",
