Honda’s EV plan – as reported earlier – focuses on three main pillars, referred to as the three ‘E’s. The first, “Platform E,” will serve as a dedicated EV platform designed to support electric two-wheelers with options for both fixed and swappable batteries, powered by Honda’s proprietary Mobile Power Pack e tech. The second pillar, “Workshop E,” aims to enhance the ownership experience by upgrading Honda’s dealerships across India with EV charging infrastructure, battery-swapping stations, and charging equipment.
As part of its long-term electrification goals and the third pillar, the ‘E-Factory’, Honda inaugurated its new Solution R&D Centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka, through its subsidiary Honda R&D India Pvt. Ltd. earlier this year. This facility will focus on developing electric motorcycles and scooters, aimed at producing 1 million electric two-wheelers annually by 2030.
