The Honda Activa is the number one or top-selling brand in India, Activa alone has around 41% market share. There have been reports for a long time that the Honda Activa will enter the EV market. Last month, there was also news that it would be launched on January 9th.
The Honda company will launch the Honda Activa electric scooter in 2024. It can be done between March and September, otherwise, it is planning to launch the scooter by the end of the year.
Possibly the name of Honda’s electric scooter coming to India is different; it may not be named Honda Activa.
Honda is a Japanese brand that has been working on electric two-wheelers for a long time because Honda itself wants to do battery manufacturing and has also become successful; hence, it has come into the market—a new scooter with new battery technology.
Honda Benly E, This scooter is only available in Japan. It has been launched. But this scooter is not for customers, Looking at its design, you would think that it is for business-to-business (B2B) people, it is for food and product delivery people.
It comes with 2 removable batteries of 1.5 x 1.5 = 3 kWh, or you can easily swap them at Honda’s swap battery station, put them on charge, and carry another battery.
