Honda Accelerates EV Push: New Motorcycle Plant in India, Ohio Hub Expansion

Honda is ramping up its electric vehicle strategy with two major initiatives. The company announced plans to establish a dedicated electric motorcycle factory in India by 2028, aiming to produce 1 million units annually. This facility will manufacture a range of electric models, including a 4kW commuter bike comparable to 100cc petrol motorcycles. Meanwhile, Honda is progressing with its $4.4 billion EV battery plant in Ohio, set to begin production in 2025. These moves underscore Honda's commitment to electrification and its goal of becoming India's top electric motorcycle brand while expanding its EV presence in North America.
