The legendary Honda Activa, India’s best-selling scooter for over two decades, is finally entering the electric revolution with the launch of the Activa EV. Designed for daily commuters, college students, and eco-conscious families, the Activa EV aims to bring the same reliability, comfort, and practicality that made its petrol counterpart a household name—now with the benefits of clean electric mobility. Expected to hit showrooms by early 2025, it could become a game-changer in the affordable e-scooter segment.
Familiar Design With Futuristic Touches
Honda has smartly retained the recognizable silhouette of the Activa while giving it modern EV updates like a closed front apron, LED DRLs, EV-specific badging, and blue accents to distinguish it from the petrol version. The Activa EV will be lightweight, easy to handle, and offered in vibrant color options aimed at younger and eco-conscious buyers.
Comfortable Ride With Smart Features
Known for its practicality, the Activa EV will feature a comfortable wide seat, telescopic suspension, and a large floorboard ideal for grocery bags or backpacks. The scooter will come equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and smart alerts for battery status and service reminders. Honda may also include keyless start, anti-theft features, and smartphone pairing for top variants.
100+ km Range With Removable Battery Option
The Activa EV is expected to offer a real-world range of 100–110 km on a single charge with a removable lithium-ion battery pack that supports both home charging and portable charging. Charging from 0 to 100% may take around 4 to 5 hours via a standard socket, while a fast-charging option might be introduced in higher trims. The electric motor is likely to produce 1.5–2.5 kW, ensuring smooth acceleration for city rides.
Affordable Pricing and Easy Maintenance
Honda will aggressively price the Activa EV around ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom) to compete directly with the TVS iQube, Ola S1 Air, and Ather Rizta. Backed by Honda’s vast service network and affordable spares, the Activa EV will offer low maintenance costs and strong resale value, making it one of the most dependable EVs for Indian households.
Conclusion: The Activa EV is all set to revolutionize India’s electric scooter segment by offering the trust of Honda, the familiarity of Activa, and the innovation of electric mobility. With smart features, high range, and reliable service support, it could be the top pick for urban riders looking to switch to electric without any compromise.
