Furthermore, Honda also revealed its plans to set up a new battery charging network in India to cater to its new set of EV customers. For this, Honda will make use of its extensive dealer network, which currently consists of 6,000 dealerships to set up chargers. The manufacturer plans to introduce more EVs with fixed batteries in the country, aside from the QC1, which recently went on sale. The company stated that it strives to sell its EVs in the price range where the TCO (total cost of ownership) for the three years of ownership will be equivalent to that of ICE models.

The duo are the very first all-electric two-wheeler offerings from Honda in the Indian market. The QC1 gets a fixed 1.5 kWh battery pack, delivering a claimed range of 80 kilometres, while the Activa e is equipped with two 1.5 kWh swappable battery packs, that deliver a combined range of 102 km on a full charge.

Of the 30, 13 models have already been introduced and are on sale in the global market.
