Ampere Nexus EX+ launched at ₹1,29,999: key buyer checks

Ampere has launched the Nexus EX+ electric scooter in India, with the standard version listed at ₹1,29,999 and the Intellipack version at ₹1,35,999 as checked on 7 Oct 2026. The updated motor, claimed 136 km IDC range and battery warranty make the launch relevant to buyers comparing the upfront price with charging and ownership requirements.

Key takeaways

The Nexus EX+ is listed at ₹1,29,999, while the connected Intellipack version is listed at ₹1,35,999; mandatory accessories cost extra.
It gets a 5 kW mid-mounted motor, a 3 kWh LFP battery and a claimed 136 km IDC range.
Ampere lists 3.10 hours for a 0–80% charge and a 5-year or 75,000 km battery warranty.
The useful buyer comparison is the final on-road cost, charging access and warranty coverage, not the IDC range alone.

What changed in the Nexus EX+

Autocar India reported the launch on 6 Oct 2026 as an update to the earlier Nexus range. The EX+ gets a 5 kW motor and the company has paired it with an IP65-rated charger. The higher-spec version adds Ampere’s Intellipack connected technology, including functions such as turn-by-turn navigation, geofencing, call alerts and charging-status information.

The specifications below are from Ampere’s Nexus EX+ product pages checked on 7 Oct 2026, with the main launch details independently reported by Autocar India on 6 Oct 2026. Performance figures are company claims unless stated otherwise.

Item	Verified detail	Buyer meaning
Listed price	₹1,29,999 for EX+; ₹1,35,999 for EX+ Intellipack	The connected package adds ₹6,000 before other ownership costs.
Motor and battery	5 kW motor; 3 kWh LFP battery	The motor output is higher than the earlier Nexus EX specification.
Range and charging	136 km IDC range; 3.10 hours for 0–80% charging	Daily usability depends on route, load, speed and charging access.
Warranty	Battery: 5 years or 75,000 km	Coverage ends when either the time or distance limit is reached.

What the price means for buyers

Ampere’s product page lists the same ₹1,29,999 starting price for the states and “all other states” shown on the page, while also stating that mandatory accessories cost extra. That means the headline figure is a listed vehicle price, not a complete on-road quotation. Registration, insurance, accessories and any local charges need to be separated before a buyer compares the two variants.

The ₹6,000 Intellipack gap is easy to identify, but its value depends on whether the connected functions are relevant to the rider’s daily use. The standard version already carries the same 5 kW motor, 3 kWh battery and claimed 136 km IDC range listed for the Nexus EX+ family. The premium is therefore mainly about the connected feature set rather than a different range claim.

Range planning also needs some caution. IDC is a standard test-cycle figure, so traffic, speed, passenger weight, road gradients, temperature and riding style can change the distance available in normal use. An owner planning a longer route can check the state-wise EV charging directory before relying on the scooter’s claimed range.

Charging and ownership checks

The company lists a 3.10-hour 0–80% charging time and an IP65-rated charger. The water-resistance rating may matter to riders who charge in less sheltered parking, but it does not replace the installation, socket and operating instructions supplied with the vehicle. The charging point’s location and access can be more important than the headline charging figure for a daily commuter.

For a commute or an inter-city ride, a road-trip planner can help place charging stops around the usable route rather than around the maximum IDC number. The separate EV charging cost guide explains how home and public charging assumptions affect running-cost calculations.

Readers comparing this electric scooter with a petrol alternative can use the fuel-cost calculator to establish the fuel baseline for a typical route. That comparison should sit alongside the scooter’s purchase price, electricity tariff, insurance, maintenance and battery-warranty terms.

What to check before a purchase decision

Confirm the variant and price date. Ask for the standard or Intellipack version to be named separately in the quotation, and check which mandatory accessories are included.
Match the route to the range claim. Use the normal daily distance, traffic and passenger load to estimate a practical charging buffer rather than treating 136 km IDC as a guaranteed daily distance.
Check the charging arrangement. Confirm where the scooter will be charged, what electrical setup is required and how the 0–80% timing fits the parking schedule.
Read the warranty terms. The reported battery limit is 5 years or 75,000 km; exclusions and claim conditions still matter.
Check service access locally. Autocar India reported availability through Ampere dealerships across India, but the convenient service point, parts process and expected turnaround should be confirmed for the buyer’s city.

Availability and buyer takeaway

The Nexus EX+ is now positioned as Ampere’s more powerful family electric scooter, with the standard and Intellipack versions forming the updated purchase choice. The launch gives buyers a clear starting price and a higher motor output, but the practical decision remains local: final on-road cost, home or public charging access, realistic daily range and the warranty conditions attached to the battery.

Before treating the ₹1,29,999 listing as the complete ownership cost, buyers can request a dated breakup of the vehicle, accessories, registration and insurance. That keeps the comparison transparent and makes it easier to judge whether the connected version’s ₹6,000 premium fits the intended use.
