From my experience tracking the EV space, real growth begins when a brand dares to step beyond familiar roads, and that is exactly what happened when Greaves Electric Mobility Limited, the EV arm of Greaves Cotton Limited, officially entered an international market with the launch of its flagship electric scooter, the Ampere Nexus, in Nepal; through this bold announcement, GEML signaled strong positioning in a demanding country known for its challenging terrain, steep inclines, and mixed urban landscape, where daily commutes test every two-wheeler, and as an Indian company with growing operations.
It formed a strategic partnership with STC Auto Solution Private Limited to handle local operations, ensuring the product fits the requirement of the region, while the premium model uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate LFP battery pack designed to support tough markets, and with trusted names like Greaves, Cotton, STC, Auto, Solution, and Private Limited behind it, the move clearly shows the first step toward expanding across global markets, something the leadership strongly believes will strengthen its presence in this evolving market.

Built for Real-World Demands
In Nepal, the mobility landscape is shaped by steep-rugged terrains, Higher altitudes, and intensive daily usage, and from what I have observed in such conditions, any EV must be truly engineered to survive the realities of the country; this is where Ampere Nexus stands apart, as Greaves Electric Mobility’s chief financial officer, Mr. Vikas Singh, MD.
Explained how the growing infrastructure naturally draws demand for a safer BMS, stronger built quality, and products that outlast, because in such regions premium scooters are not just about luxury but about durability, comfort, and range confidence, and through GEM the company is supporting the national push for clean transport by designing solutions that specifically address these needs with practical strength and purpose.

Ampere Nexus: Power, Performance, and Record-Breaking Capability
Powering the Ampere Nexus is a 3 kWh lithium phosphate battery, paired with a 3.3 kW mid-mounted electric motor that generates a peak output of 4 kW, enabling it to reach a top speed of 93 kmph; in my experience, this setup feels smooth yet strong in everyday riding situations, delivering a claimed 136 km on a single charge under IDC testing conditions, while the real-world figure is likely closer to 110–115 km, and the battery can be fully charged in 3.3 hours when plugged into a standard 15A socket, which makes daily use practical in our country, where the starts price in India is ₹1.20 lakh ex-showroom.
What truly stands out are its proven capabilities, as it was recognised by the Asia Book of Records for conquering 70 hairpin bends at Kolli Hills in Tamil Nadu, and it successfully climbed Shipki La Pass at an altitude of 13,200 feet; these key highlights show how it employs Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistry, offering better range and a safer ride when compared to NMC, proving that this engineering choice is not just technical but practical for tough roads.
