Honda Activa EV: Two electric two-wheelers will be released by Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI), one in March 2024 while the other has an unconfirmed release date. Atushi Ogata, President, CEO, and MD of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) made the announcement to the media on Monday after the introduction of the Active H-Smart that the business would debut its first electric 2-wheeler by March 2024. The Activa, which is its best-selling item, is probably the model on which the vehicle will be based. This information was released at the same time as the new Activa H-Smart scooter, which has a keyless start feature.

Currently, HMSI is preparing 2 electric vehicles. The first, an electric scooter, is expected to be constructed on the Activa platform and will have a fixed battery configuration with a top speed of 50 kmph. The second one is believed to feature two interchangeable batteries and will be built on a brand-new base.
Ogata claimed that HMSI’s delayed entry into the EV race was a result of the company’s attention on protecting its position as the second-largest manufacturer of ICE 2-wheelers. Additionally, he said the future 2-wheeler would be created exclusively for the Indian market and might be sold to other nations based on demand. In order to keep the price of the new products as low as possible, the company will also invest in the localization of part and electric component production.
Company’s plan
The company now has 6,000 touchpoints throughout the nation, and it plans to add charging stations and battery-switching facilities to these locations in order to better serve its new clients. Honda 2Wheeler will be among the later entrants in the electric two-wheeler area, but considering its position as the market leader in the ICE scooter field and the fact that it is the second-largest two-wheeler brand in India in terms of sales, HMSI is expected to aim big in the EV segment.
