Honda Opens First EV Concept Store in Bengaluru, Launches Affordable Battery Subscription Plan

Bengaluru, June 24, 2025 — In a bold step toward electrification, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has unveiled its first-ever EV Concept Store in India, located at Mantri Square Mall, Malleshwaram, Bengaluru. This innovative space serves as both an experience center and a showcase of Honda’s electric mobility future.

A High-Tech Electric Experience

The store offers a futuristic and immersive customer experience designed to educate and excite visitors about EVs. Key highlights include:

• A History Wall tracing Honda’s global EV journey and a central LED display highlighting the brand’s electric vision.
• A Product Display Zone showcasing upcoming models like the Activa e: and Honda QC1.
• A Tech Zone featuring core EV components such as Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) motors, hub motors, chargers, and the swappable Mobile Power Pack.
• Live demonstrations of Honda’s Power Pack Exchanger e: battery-swapping station, allowing users to witness how fast and seamless battery replacement can be.
• A Kids Interaction Zone and creative displays, including a scaled model of a Honda Jet, the foldable Moto Compacto scooter, and an electric go-kart powered by Honda’s swappable batteries.

Activa e: The Future Is Swappable

At the heart of this initiative is the upcoming Activa e: electric scooter. It runs on a dual 1.5 kWh swappable battery system sourced from Honda Japan and supported locally by Honda Power Pack Energy India. The battery offers an effective range of over 100 km on a single charge and can be quickly replaced at designated exchange stations.

This setup eliminates charging wait times and promotes a practical solution for urban EV users.

Flexible Battery Subscription Plans

In a move to democratize EV ownership, HMSI has launched a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) Lite plan, a first-of-its-kind offering in India. The subscription-based pricing is as follows:

Under the Lite Plan, users get up to 12 battery swaps per month, with additional usage billed at nominal rates. This model is especially attractive for users with limited daily commutes, making EVs financially viable even for budget-conscious buyers.

A Vision for the Future

Honda’s EV Concept Store is more than a showroom—it’s a strategic move to educate, engage, and empower Indian consumers. By creating an interactive space and pairing it with affordable ownership models, Honda aims to remove barriers to EV adoption.

With the launch of this concept store and the upcoming Activa e:, Honda is signaling a strong commitment to build a scalable, sustainable, and customer-friendly EV ecosystem in India.
