Coming to the Activa Electric Version, the appearance of the model is expected to be the same as the petrol-powered model. The range of the Activa Electric will probably be lesser as compared to the vehicles like the Hero Vida V1 Pro, which has a certified range of 165 Kilometre. With plans to introduce its EV lineup, the company will open 6000 battery-swapping stations at the majority of its consumer touchpoints in the nation. By doing so, Honda will reduce future issues for its expected EV with a swappable-battery setup in India.
