Honda Activa E battery swap plans now more affordable: Price & benefits
Honda has rolled out a more pocket-friendly battery swap subscription plan for its Activa E electric scooter customers in India. The new plan, dubbed ‘Lite’, significantly reduces the cost of battery swaps for Activa E users. Priced at Rs 678 (excluding GST), this new plan brings down the entry-level subscription rate from the earlier Rs 1,999.Under the Lite plan, Activa E owners will get up to 12 battery swaps per month. If users exceed this limit, an additional fee of Rs 180 per swap will be charged. The update was announced through Honda’s official social media handles and is managed by Honda Power Pack Energy India.The Activa E, Honda’s all-electric version of its best-selling scooter, is available in two variants: the Standard version priced at Rs 1.17 lakh and the RoadSync Duo which costs Rs 1.52 lakh, both prices ex-showroom. It is equipped with a 6kW motor and powered by dual 1.5kWh swappable batteries, delivering a claimed range of 102 km on a full charge.
While Honda’s battery swapping system promises faster turnaround times compared to traditional charging, the lack of a home charging option has been seen as a hurdle to wider adoption.Feature-wise, the Activa E gets a 7-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync Duo connectivity, three riding modes (Econ, Standard, and Sport), and the H-Smart key system. It rides on 12-inch wheels and features a disc brake up front and a drum brake at the rear, paired with telescopic forks and a rear monoshock.Stay tuned to TOI Auto for latest updates on the automotive sector and do follow us on our social media handles on Facebook, Instagram and X.
