Ampere Nexus EX+ launched at ₹1.30 lakh, Gets 5kW motor and smart features

Ampere Nexus EX+: Ampere has introduced an updated version of its Nexus scooter to the Indian electric scooter market. The company has launched the Ampere Nexus EX+ with an ex-showroom price of ₹1.30 lakh. This new model features a more powerful 5 kW motor compared to the previous version. Additionally, the scooter comes equipped with an IP65-rated charger and ‘Intellipack’ connected technology. Here are the full details regarding its price, variants, performance, Intellipack features, and charger.

Ampere Nexus EX+: Price and Variants

Ampere has launched the Nexus EX+ in India in two variants. The Standard variant is priced at ₹1.30 lakh (ex-showroom), while the variant featuring Intellipack technology is priced at ₹1.36 lakh. Both variants are available in two colour options: Carbon Knight and Steel Grey.

5kW Motor

The most significant upgrade in the Nexus EX+ is its new 5kW electric motor. According to the company, this motor delivers a peak torque of 202 Nm at the wheel. Ampere claims that the electric scooter can accelerate from 0 to 40 kmph in just 4.5 seconds.

Along with increased power, the company has also improved the motor’s gradeability. Furthermore, the motor performs efficiently even when carrying a pillion rider or a heavy load. This makes it an excellent choice for daily city commuting.

Smart Connectivity with Intellipack

The Intellipack variant of the Nexus EX+ comes with connected technology. The scooter can be linked to the Ampere Connect app, allowing users to view various details directly on their smartphones.

This connected system offers features such as real-time charging status, live tracking, and geo-fencing. Additionally, the ‘Find My Scooter’ feature makes it easy to find the scooter in a parking area.

IP65 Charger

The Ampere Nexus EX+ comes with an IP65-rated charger, designed to offer superior protection against water and dust. Charger safety is crucial for electric scooters, especially in India, where roads and parking areas in many cities become wet during the rainy season. However, an IP65 rating does not mean the charger is intended to be intentionally submerged in water.

What makes the Ampere Nexus EX+ special?

The standout feature of the new Nexus EX+ is its 5kW motor upgrade. Coupled with connected technology and enhanced charger protection, these upgrades make it significantly better than before. With a starting price of ₹1.30 lakh, it appeals to buyers seeking a blend of performance and smart features in an electric scooter. Meanwhile, the Intellipack variant, priced at ₹1.36 lakh, offers a more extensive suite of connected features.
