The innovative retail space seeks to offer visitors a unique, immersive glimpse into Honda’s vision of future mobility, technology, and sustainable innovation.

The EV Concept Store is designed as a futuristic hub where visitors can experience Honda’s electric offerings and technological advancements first-hand. A major highlight of the store is the centrally located LED display wall, which presents dynamic, interactive content focused on Honda’s global electrification journey. A dedicated history wall also traces the brand’s milestones over the years.

Alongside the launch, HMSI introduced a new “Battery-as-a-Service” (BaaS) Lite Plan for its electric scooter Activa e:, allowing customers to access the vehicle for just ₹678 per month. “The move is part of Honda’s strategy to make electric mobility more affordable and accessible to a wider audience,” said the company.

In the Product Display Zone, visitors can explore Honda’s key electric models for India — the Activa e: and QC1 — and learn about their features and technology. The store also caters to families with a Kids Interaction Zone, aligning with Honda’s inclusive approach to customer engagement.

A major technical highlight is the Safe Tech Zone, which breaks down the core components behind Honda’s electric vehicles — including the PMS motor, hub motor, charger, battery, and Mobile Power Pack (MPP). The store also features a live demonstration of the Honda Power Pack Exchanger e:, a swappable battery station that allows quick and seamless energy replacement for the Activa e:.

Adding global flavor, the store includes scale models of Honda’s ventures in personal aviation, such as the Honda Jet, and electric performance, including the eGX electric go-kart, powered by swappable Mobile Power Pack e: batteries. Another highlight is The Honda Moto Compacto — — a foldable electric scooter designed for urban mobility. Weighing just 19 kg, it offers a top speed of 24 kmph and a range of 20 km per charge, making it perfect for short city commutes. The compact, retro-inspired design reflects Honda’s ability to fuse nostalgic charm with modern, innovative technology.
