Honda Activa e:, QC1 Electric Scooters Launch Highlights: Features, Specifications, Images

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India is all set to launch its first electric scooter for the Indian market today. At long last, India will meet the very first e-scooter from HMSI. In a series of promos released before its launch, Honda has confirmed a few key details of this electric scooter, which may bear the ‘e-Activa’ name.
The most recent teaser videos have shed light on the batteries and charging of Honda’s maiden electric scooter. One promo confirmed its first electric scooter for our market will come with two swappable batteries – named the Honda Power Pack e: – that will slot under the seat of the scooter. The clip also confirmed the scooter will have almost no underseat storage space once the batteries slot into place.
Another video provided a glimpse at the scooter's charging port, which hints at the possibility of tethered charging also being available for the scooter. It's worth noting this port design doesn't seem to adopt any of the existing light EV charging standards, but instead appears to be a model-specific design
Honda’s first electric scooter for India is expected to adopt swappable batteries.

A previous teaser shed light on the headlight and colour digital dashboard which displayed a 100 per cent battery and a range of 104 kilometres in the selected ‘Standard’ ride mode.

Soon the covers will be off from Honda's first electric scooter for the Indian market.

The stage is set and the event is about to begin, stay tuned.

Daiki Mihara, Vice President, Head motorcycles and power products electrification business, Honda Motor Co, kicks start the event by showing the vision of the transition from ICE to EV.
