Ampere Nexus
The Ampere Nexus is a family-focused electric scooter priced from Rs 1,19,900 ex-showroom, built for riders doing short, predictable city commutes who are happy with a plug-in-at-home charging routine. It runs a 3 kWh LFP battery rated 136 km on ARAI's test cycle (there's no independently tested real-world figure yet, so treat 136 km as a lab ceiling, not a daily promise), paired with a 4 kW motor and a 93 kmph top speed that's quick for this price band.
Is the Ampere Nexus right for you?
Best for
- Short, predictable daily commutes comfortably within the 136 km ARAI range, leaving margin for real-world derating
- Riders with guaranteed home or society charging, since there is no fast-charging option on either variant
- Buyers who weigh battery safety and longevity heavily - LFP chemistry plus a 5-year/75,000 km battery warranty
- Anyone wanting punchier performance than typical for the segment - 93 kmph top speed and a 4 kW motor
Think twice if
- Riders without dependable home or society charging - the battery is fixed (non-removable) and a full charge via the bundled 15A charger takes about 3 hours 20 minutes with no fast-charge fallback
- Buyers chasing long daily range - the 3 kWh pack is smaller than many rivals, so untested real-world range will likely sit well below the 136 km ARAI figure
- Strict budget shoppers - Rs 1,24,890 for the top variant is premium pricing within the electric scooter segment

Charging and living with it
Charging: Bundled 15A AC home charger; ~3 hr 20 min for a full charge. No fast-charge option.. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Charging is a home/socket affair only: the bundled 15A charger needs about 3 hours 20 minutes for a full charge and there is no fast-charging path, so the Nexus suits owners with reliable home or society charging rather than those planning to depend on public chargers.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the Ampere Nexus Nexus EX costs about ₹320/month to run versus ₹2,800/month for a comparable petrol scooter, a saving of ₹30,174/year at July 2026 prices.
| Monthly | Annual | 5-year | |

| Petrol | ₹2,800 | ₹34,067 | ₹1,70,335 |

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Ampere Nexus?
Ampere quotes 136 km on the ARAI test cycle for both the EX and ST variants. No independent real-world range test is available yet, and with a 3 kWh pack smaller than many rivals, expect noticeably less in actual city riding with traffic and accessory load factored in.
How long does the Ampere Nexus take to charge?
The bundled 15A AC home charger takes about 3 hours 20 minutes for a full charge from empty. There is no fast-charging option, so charging needs to be planned around overnight or workday downtime.
Which Nexus variant should I pick, EX or ST?
Both variants share the identical 3 kWh battery, 4 kW motor and 136 km ARAI range, so performance and range are not the differentiator. The ST costs Rs 4,990 more (Rs 1,24,890 vs Rs 1,19,900 ex-showroom) for its trim and features, so choose based on what those extras are worth to you.
Is the Nexus's battery safer than rivals?
It uses LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry, which generally handles heat better and lasts more charge cycles than the NMC packs common in rival scooters, backed by a 5-year/75,000 km battery warranty - a reassuring combination for safety-conscious buyers.
Is the Ampere Nexus good value against other electric scooters?
At Rs 1,19,900 to Rs 1,24,890 ex-showroom, it sits at the premium end for the segment while carrying a smaller 3 kWh battery than several competitors. It justifies part of that price with a strong 4 kW motor, 93 kmph top speed, and a wide Greaves dealer network, but range-per-rupee shoppers should cross-check rivals with larger packs before deciding.
