Proud owner of this scooter since September 2020..wonderful scooter..no complaints yet..mind boggling performance..and most importantly an eye catcher too💖👍❤️
Ola is planning to revolutionise EV 2 wheeler , by mass producing ,260kms range , Ola exclusive hyper charging station everywhere .BTW anticipating its arrival eagerly and eventually expecting a revolution in cars too
biggest reason for worry among potential electric vehicle buyers, is firstly the inevitable and eventual battery replacement. there are no two ways about it, all Li-on batteries wear post a certain number of discharge cycles, after that, the range of the vehicle will be impacted severely and in increasing order after every charge.
A comprehensive and informative review. Wish TVS works on range and makes it 100+ and gradually to 150+ kilometres for charge. Of course, it takes time to reach there.
I wish more people buy 2 wheelers from TVS, Hero, Bajaj and other Indian brands rather than Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha etc especially in scooter segment. I own a TVS Jupiter, it's as good as Activa or Access, all of them have some shortcoming in some areas and are better than other in some, but overall there's almost nothing separating them. TVS has improved a lot in the past decade and is on par if not better than it's Int'l peers. TVS iQube looks good overall, hope it becomes a leader in the EVs.
3 years 50k km warranty whichever comes first. Dont you think 3 years is so early for a big expenditure. TVS has to reveal the replacement battery price too
What about charging time, insurance costs and battery replacement costs ?, that also should have been added in the video, Thanks for Autocar for bringing this review
Good detailed review ! It could be even more precise where we would know how less we are polluting environment by driving EV's just like cost saving figure and data . Because EV 's are about saving our future resources for future generations and also cost saving .
Most of the savings goes done the drain once you factor into battery replacement every 4 yr(40000 rs) 🐱.So,your savings is only around 20-30 k and the resale value is less.
Why so many electric scooters? And not many options for electric cars. Just one good affordable EV car is Nexon. Auto Companies should think of EV cars as it's the most booming market. Good work Auto car india for covering it. 👍🏻👍🏻
I wish this was available in my town man, I would be buying it tomorrow. TVS really need make this scooter available in many more cities quickly. 20 cities till next march isn't fast enough according to me. Just an opinion.
Please factor in the battery replacement cost after 4-5 years since one would use this product for at least 10 years. Later compare resale value for both after 10 years. Battery will degrade and you won’t get any resale value on the u cube. Doesn’t make a strong case to me.
If ur someone who has a daily running of under 50 kms , a electric scooter or motorcycle makes more sense , i wish to see a day where people stop buying petrol scooters n bikes for small distance and we are a carbon neutral country by 2030 🙏🏻
Got a question, what if we put extra load to deliver goods from point A to point B, does it effect the average and the battery consumption qnd most importantly the speed of the scooter?
Range should be atleast 100kms, need this scooter in all tvs showrooms(like tata nexon evs), price should not be increased, need a plan for battery replacement cost
after the previous video featuring Shapur, I was really expecting to see a behind-the-scenes for this one as well. that's alright. nice video though.. also, great effort by TVS. they really played it safe by not opting to make radical designs.
Try covering the 450+ not the x(u already have the x's review) and the the Bajaj chethak,the pure ev duo,super soco 400 , benling aura and just let us know the efficiency figures u extract out of them,it is a really really nice step from u guys!!
Purchasing TVS EV Iqube in 2022 make sense, because you get subsidy benefits & after 3 years (2025), New Battery charges also more afortable compare to 2021.
You should check the real life Mileage of scooters. Jupiter gives around 35-40 Km Per litre only. Thats it. So electric scooter is the only way forward. Coz they will save lot of money.
Calculate TCO considering 90 K km. EV battery replacement after 40k-50k will be a bomb. At 90K km hope EV is not just a electric toy versus conventional engine Jupiter
I think the ebike/scooter companies should work more on their range means 50-70km is not enough...bcs generally in india people drive nearly 80-100km in a day just bcs of their work and charging them every day for a 5 hr is not possible 😐
changing battery at its life end will cost beyond petrol engines. Let's see how industry turns out. I think present generation will not reap any benefits as of now.
The only EV that i'm thinking of buying as it looks smart without being too much in your face or overdone and its indian bawa. i'm a petrolhead but will prefer an ev for commuting to office and save the liquified diniosaurs for weekend rides and tours. TVS please launch this in hyderabad.
Electric scooter really make sense now.. I mean who drives its scooter 70 km? If i want to go just for fun ride i would never go above 20km or maximum 30

Charging time..?
Props to the autocar team for putting up the cost comparison
Now am doing masters in "electrical vehicle technology" in "iit indore"
So ?
Finally a proper review
Thank you!
what will be the cost of replacing the battery and how many years till it needs to be replaced?
Hey! TVS hasn't revealed the cost of replacing the battery. It has a warranty of 3 years or 50,000km, whichever is earlier.
I guess it's too early to comment on the lifespan of battery and replacement costs in EV's
75 thousand se to kam hi hoga 😆😆 sochne wali baat hai
Running cost is what makes Sense to buy a city scooter....
38000rs after 65000kms or 5 years
Ola is planning to revolutionise EV 2 wheeler , by mass producing ,260kms range , Ola exclusive hyper charging station everywhere .BTW anticipating its arrival eagerly and eventually expecting a revolution in cars too
biggest reason for worry among potential electric vehicle buyers, is firstly the inevitable and eventual battery replacement. there are no two ways about it, all Li-on batteries wear post a certain number of discharge cycles, after that, the range of the vehicle will be impacted severely and in increasing order after every charge.
Would love to see an cost analysis of 450X too.
A comprehensive and informative review. Wish TVS works on range and makes it 100+ and gradually to 150+ kilometres for charge. Of course, it takes time to reach there.
At last TVS is the vehicle review with utmost satisfaction. Hope it reaches the showroom!!
Good mathematics calculation... Just a suggestion Plz do consider battery depreciation value in it to get the actual savings.
I wish more people buy 2 wheelers from TVS, Hero, Bajaj and other Indian brands rather than Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha etc especially in scooter segment.
I own a TVS Jupiter, it's as good as Activa or Access, all of them have some shortcoming in some areas and are better than other in some, but overall there's almost nothing separating them.
TVS has improved a lot in the past decade and is on par if not better than it's Int'l peers.
TVS iQube looks good overall, hope it becomes a leader in the EVs.
Is the home charger and its installation inclusive of this price?
Yeah
3 years 50k km warranty whichever comes first. Dont you think 3 years is so early for a big expenditure. TVS has to reveal the replacement battery price too
What about charging time, insurance costs and battery replacement costs ?, that also should have been added in the video, Thanks for Autocar for bringing this review
In my city i can easily manage with 48 kmph or 50kmph.... In city u rarely drive above 60 in traffic
Good detailed review ! It could be even more precise where we would know how less we are polluting environment by driving EV's just like cost saving figure and data . Because EV 's are about saving our future resources for future generations and also cost saving .
Eagerly waiting to see comparisons between
Aether 450x | TVS iQube | bajaj Chetak
and of course real time range and charging times...!!
Thank you.
Having jupiter and ntorq ...Next will be this for sure..Good job @autocar
Most of the savings goes done the drain once you factor into battery replacement every 4 yr(40000 rs) 🐱.So,your savings is only around 20-30 k and the resale value is less.
Autocar India loving the way u guys are covering EVs I really appreciate it!!
By the time we cover 50,000 kms, we might need a battery replacement
Can you guys please do a review as such on the ATHER 450X 🙏🙏🙏🙄🙄🙄
Your explanation is super bro.I got full clarity about this bike.
**TVS** T Trust V Victory S Sucessfull Brand House hold of Southern India 👍👍
What would be the expected cost of batteries after completing of its 50000km???
Why so many electric scooters? And not many options for electric cars. Just one good affordable EV car is Nexon. Auto Companies should think of EV cars as it's the most booming market. Good work Auto car india for covering it. 👍🏻👍🏻

I like the calculations👍
please do the same video with calculation for Revolt RV400
Battery replacement cost after 50000km would negate the savings and the limited range
Well explained. Felt like mba fin class. Expecting more variety content like this autocar👍
Simply clear & good explanation 👍
Thank you! 😊
Got a question, what if we put extra load to deliver goods from point A to point B, does it effect the average and the battery consumption qnd most importantly the speed of the scooter?
Brilliant real world Petrol vs EV comparison!
Thanks Parth!
Thank you for this review... Much awaited 🙌🏻
Range should be atleast 100kms, need this scooter in all tvs showrooms(like tata nexon evs), price should not be increased, need a plan for battery replacement cost
Liked the last EV and petrol comparison 👍🏻
You forgot to detail the charge time and charger availability
Kindly do the same type of review with bajaj electric scooter.
after the previous video featuring Shapur, I was really expecting to see a behind-the-scenes for this one as well. that's alright. nice video though.. also, great effort by TVS. they really played it safe by not opting to make radical designs.

Very good analysis. Well done Feroze!
Thank you so much! 😊
TVs doing great now
Please do a same type of comparison between petrol cars and battery cars.
TVS has done a good job 👍👍🎉🎉
I stay on 1st floor. Would it be difficult to charge the battery? Plug is not available on ground floor.
Really well made video.
most important is the price of batteries price and cost comparison
Purchasing TVS EV Iqube in 2022 make sense, because you get subsidy benefits & after 3 years (2025), New Battery charges also more afortable compare to 2021.
But when it's easily available in entire india ?
Please provide details about batteries,portability and charging options etc.
Which company's battery does it use?
Great review and analysis!
The design and looks are great. My family also like it.
Break even point... Oh my god... Economics class school days memories 😅
What battery chemistry is used in TVS iQube 2022 ? LFP OR NMC
Promising scooter.... Hope it will be in Pune soon.
What about charging options ?
After 50000km we have to change battery also. Include that. And that is not extra edge of having ev than petrol scooter
I love simple looking good ev scooter.
This is my fav ♡♡
Please do review video on Epluto7G
Which has more Range than TVS Iqube, available in all states, Providing Good service.
I will wait until , market gets a 200+ range scooters . Most electric scooters are at their adolescent age , would wait for them to mature .
Can you show us a comparison video of all the elrctric scooters above 1 lakh price point?
Ather is in multiple cities now. I don’t understand why big companies like tvs & Bajaj are still not able to expand beyond 2 or 3 cities !
BEP statistics was cool 👍🏻🤗
Main question is what is the selling price when we want to sell it after 4-5 years one can easily get 40-50k for Jupiter but how much we get for iqube
Same
Gujrat is also subsidise 20k per vehicle but no available and not sure about when u will get it 🤭
What are the connectivity subscription charges for TVS iQube?
Around 900rs per year
How much does it approxiamately cost to replace the i-Qube's battery?
My only concern is regarding hub motor. Is it better than the belt one? Please guide
You should check the real life Mileage of scooters. Jupiter gives around 35-40 Km Per litre only. Thats it.
So electric scooter is the only way forward. Coz they will save lot of money.
Battery replacement cost? battery costs 30-35 thousand I've heard. And also the resale value? You guys should explain that too.
How much does battery replacement cost
Very nicely explained!😃
Thank you Rishabh!
Better agronomics than ather
Ergonomics
Plz make a comparison video of iQube vs Cheetak
Can we attached another battery, how much place under the seat
Thanks for the update
And additionally we can cutoff maintenance cost.
Ather & TVS are the best electric scooters in India today. Strong competition is just at the corner.. waiting for Ola scooters to.be launched
Lovely analytical review. Nice
Thank you 😊
Calculate TCO considering 90 K km. EV battery replacement after 40k-50k will be a bomb. At 90K km hope EV is not just a electric toy versus conventional engine Jupiter
What about the replacement cost of battery packs you should have taken that cost in your calculations to arrive at a fair price.
Like the car comparison videos, one electric scooter comparison video would be nice. Ather 450 and 450x could be included in the comparison with this.
I think the ebike/scooter companies should work more on their range means 50-70km is not enough...bcs generally in india people drive nearly 80-100km in a day just bcs of their work and charging them every day for a 5 hr is not possible 😐
Having a Bosch motor is an another plus.
right now available only in Bengaluru and Pune
Looks like the next generation
Jupiter..
changing battery at its life end will cost beyond petrol engines. Let's see how industry turns out. I think present generation will not reap any benefits as of now.
Please review Epluto7g
I always loved it ...but had to settle for Ampere Magnus pro(no regrets) as still Iqube not available in my city
The only EV that i'm thinking of buying as it looks smart without being too much in your face or overdone and its indian bawa. i'm a petrolhead but will prefer an ev for commuting to office and save the liquified diniosaurs for weekend rides and tours. TVS please launch this in hyderabad.
Make video on new 2022 version
Electric scooter really make sense now.. I mean who drives its scooter 70 km? If i want to go just for fun ride i would never go above 20km or maximum 30
Good review 👍
yes
Autocar India has to give a detailed review on tesla car. I hope it will happen very soon
Everything is fine , except hub motor .
Hub motor is perfect for low speed cheap scooter , but not for high-speed scooter
