Honda Activa Electric May Soon Feature Convenient Home Charging Option

Honda is charging ahead in the Indian EV space. After unveiling the much-awaited Activa e at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the two-wheeler giant is now working on making electric mobility more convenient for Indian users. Priced at ₹1.17 lakh (ex-showroom), the Activa e currently relies on a battery swapping system—but that could soon change.

According to recent reports, Honda is planning to introduce a home charging dock for the Activa e in India. This move could significantly ease the charging hassle faced by daily commuters, especially in areas where battery swapping stations are few and far between.

While battery swapping has been promoted as a safer and quicker alternative, its limited availability has posed challenges for regular users. Honda has previously been cautious about enabling home charging in India, citing safety concerns due to unpredictable electrical infrastructure. However, the increasing demand for flexibility and convenience seems to have encouraged a change in approach.

Interestingly, Honda already offers home charging docks for its CUV:e model sold in Europe. That scooter comes with a 270W charger that takes roughly six hours to fully charge the battery. Given that the Activa e is quite similar in design and functionality, a comparable charging setup could soon be introduced here as well.

With the electric two-wheeler market becoming increasingly competitive in India, buyers are looking beyond just range and speed. Ease of charging, service cost, and overall convenience are now key decision-making factors. Bringing a home charging dock to India could give Honda a significant edge in the growing EV space.

As more users transition to electric scooters, such infrastructure upgrades could be the nudge needed to boost confidence and adoption. If implemented, Honda’s home charging solution for the Activa e could mark a major milestone in India’s electric mobility journey.
