The pros and cons of Ampere Primus
The HinduAmpere is one of the bigger players in the ocean of EV “start-ups” in India that has been selling e-scooters designed and developed overseas. That factor is comes into play with the launch of the new Primus — the company’s first truly indigenous, made-in-India, made-for-India offering. Giving the Primus its go-juice is a 3kWh LFP battery — this is a chemistry that offers safer thermal characteristics but slightly lower energy density than its more widespread NMC counterpart. At ₹1.10 lakh, it certainly is not cheap in absolute terms; you could get a far more capable and better equipped petrol scooter for less money. The stronger performance, better seating comfort and front disc brake on their own would justify that premium, but you also get a neat TFT display, better build and a strong reputation.
