Ampere has launched the Nexus EX+ in India at ₹1,29,999 (ex-showroom), with the Intellipack version at ₹1,35,999. The main change is a stronger 5kW motor that makes 202Nm of torque at the wheel. The Nexus EX+ also gets an IP65-rated charger and an optional connected-tech suite, while the 3kWh LFP battery and the 136km claimed range appear unchanged from the existing Nexus.
The Nexus EX+ matters because it targets a specific weakness of the current Nexus. Its 4kW motor was adequate for solo city riding but less convincing with a pillion or on steep flyovers. At around ₹1.30 lakh, the extra power and technology have to justify the price.
Ampere Nexus EX+ Price in India
The Ampere Nexus EX+ is priced at ₹1,29,999 (ex-showroom). The Nexus EX+ with Intellipack costs ₹1,35,999, a difference of ₹6,000. Both come in Carbon Knight and Steel Grey and are sold through Ampere dealerships nationwide.
The ₹6,000 gap is small enough that the Intellipack version is the more sensible pick for anyone who would use the app at all. On-road prices will vary by state because of registration, insurance, and any state incentives.
What’s New on the Ampere Nexus EX+
Ampere presents the Nexus EX+ as an update to the Nexus, not an all-new scooter. The changes that matter are:
- A 5kW motor with 202Nm of wheel torque
- An IP65-rated water-resistant charger
- An optional Intellipack with more than 30 connected features
- LFP battery chemistry, with Ampere claiming battery longevity of up to 2,00,000km
- A 5-year/75,000km battery warranty
Ampere has not clearly said whether the earlier Nexus EX and ST remain on sale alongside the EX+.
5kW Motor and Performance
Ampere quotes 0- 40 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and the top speed remains 93 km/h, the same as the regular Nexus. The higher peak output should primarily improve acceleration and the scooter’s ability to maintain performance under greater load, rather than increase its top speed.
In Indian conditions, that matters in a few places: riding with a pillion or luggage, climbing flyovers, and moving through gaps in traffic. Ampere has not published a torque figure for the regular Nexus, so the size of the improvement cannot be stated precisely.
Battery, Range and Charging
The Nexus EX+ uses a 3kWh LFP battery. LFP cells are generally valued for thermal stability and long cycle life, which suits Indian summers. The listed range of 136km is a claimed test-cycle figure and should not be read as real-world range.
Ampere has not published a real-world range figure for the EX+. Actual range will depend on riding conditions, speed, load, and use of the scooter’s performance. Ampere has also not clearly published the charging time in its launch material. The charger is now IP65-rated.
Battery Life and Warranty
Ampere claims battery longevity of up to 2,00,000km for the LFP battery. This is a manufacturer’s claim, not a guaranteed lifespan. Actual battery life depends on charging habits, heat, depth of discharge, and how hard the scooter is used.
The warranty is a separate and more concrete commitment. It covers 5 years or 75,000km, whichever comes first. Ampere has not published a battery replacement cost, so ownership costs after the warranty period cannot be estimated.
Intellipack and Connected Features
Intellipack is Ampere’s connected suite, used through the Ampere Connect app. Ampere says it provides more than 30 features. The ones with practical value include:
- Live location tracking
- Geo-fencing
- Real-time charging status
- Remote diagnostics
- Battery information
- Trip data
Intellipack suits buyers who park outdoors, share the scooter within a family, or like to monitor battery health. A rider who needs only a basic commuter can reasonably skip it.
Design, Comfort and Practicality
The Nexus keeps its conservative, flat-panelled design, and Ampere has made no major styling changes for the EX+. The practical details are:
- Seat height: 765mm
- Ground clearance: 170mm
- Kerb weight: 126.4kg
- Under-seat storage: 22 litres
- Wheels: 12-inch alloys on 90/90-12 tubeless tyres
At around 126kg, it is a fairly heavy scooter, which matters in tight parking spaces. The 170mm ground clearance helps over speed breakers.
Features and Technology
The useful equipment includes a reverse mode with parking assist, three riding modes (Eco, City and Power), regenerative braking and a front USB port. LED lighting is fitted all round. Ampere has not clearly published the display details for each EX+ variant.
Safety
Braking is handled by a 200mm front disc and a rear drum. Ampere has not clearly published ABS as an option, so it should not be assumed. Other safety equipment includes a side-stand motor cut-off and an emergency stop signal. There is no crash rating for the Nexus EX+.
Ampere Nexus EX+ vs Regular Nexus
| Nexus EX+ | Regular Nexus | |
| Motor | 5kW | 4kW |
| Battery | 3kWh LFP | 3kWh LFP |
| Claimed range | 136km | 136km |
| Top speed | 93kmph | 93kmph |
| Key technology | Optional IntelliPack, IP65 charger | Basic connectivity |
For context, the regular Nexus launched in 2024 at introductory prices of ₹1.10 lakh for the EX and ₹1.20 lakh for the ST. Those were launch-period prices, so they should not be treated as the current price of the regular Nexus.
The EX+ gives you a stronger motor and an IP65-rated charger without any gain in range, battery size, or top speed. That is a reasonable trade for riders who carry a pillion or face steep roads, and a harder case for solo commuters on flat ground.
Ampere Nexus EX+ vs Key Rivals
The Ather 450S, Ola S1 Pro and TVS iQube are the closest alternatives at this price. Each takes a different approach. The Nexus EX+ leans on motor output, LFP chemistry, and a long battery warranty. TVS offers a mature product and a wider service network, and Ather and Ola emphasise software and ecosystem.
Because rival prices, battery options, and specifications change often, compare them against each manufacturer’s current official figures. The questions to ask are claimed range, performance under load, charging, and service reach.
Who Should Consider the Nexus EX+
- Riders who often carry a pillion: The stronger motor is aimed at them.
- Buyers who prioritise battery longevity: The LFP chemistry and the 5-year/75,000km warranty are the draw.
- Buyers who want connected features: The Intellipack version is the sensible choice.
- City commuters who ride solo: A cheaper Nexus or another electric scooter may be enough.
Final Verdict
The Nexus EX+ is a meaningful but narrow upgrade. The 5kW motor addresses a real weakness; the LFP battery and 5-year/75,000km warranty give buyers some reassurance on long-term battery ownership, and Intellipack is modestly priced at ₹6,000. But range, top speed, and battery size are unchanged, and real-world range and long-term battery life remain unproven. It makes the most sense for riders who will actually use the extra performance, while buyers focused mainly on solo city commuting may find the additional cost harder to justify.
