Japanese two-wheeler Honda had announced plans to introduce 10 or more electric models globally by 2025. The company has also confirmed that it is developing two commuter electric two-wheelers, which will be launched exclusively in Asia, Japan and Europe. One of these new electric scooters for India is expected to be launched on January 23, 2023.
Â
If rumours are to be believed, then Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India may bring an electric version of its best-selling Activa scooter. The scooter can be positioned against TVS iQube Electric, Ather450X, Hero Vida V1, Simple One, Ola S1 etc.
Â
The details about the electric vehicle have yet to be revealed. The new Honda electric scooter is expected to come with a swappable battery. This could be because Honda recently announced its battery-swapping service in association with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL). Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt Ltd is a subsidiary of the brand to launch a battery swap service in India.
Â
Suppose the company brings the electric version of the Honda Activa. In that case, it will get more benefits because Honda Activa has already become a brand among the people and people trust it a lot. That’s why Activa is the best-selling scooter in the country. No other scooter is even close to it in terms of sales. If its electric version comes, it will likely attract more customers in such a situation.
