Honda is thinking to launch electric vehicle instead of petrol and diesel cars in India in the next five years. As per the reports, Electric Honda vehicles are set to launch in India somewhere around 2023 when a global electric launch plan is scheduled to be initiated. The B segment vehicle can be the first electric vehicle and it is expected that it will be the manufacturing version of the Urban EV Concept. The India-spec Honda EV is especially developing for serving the conditions of India in comparison to the cars which are sold in foreign markets. But yet the EV policy has not been organized by the government of India, and the Japanese carmaker does not want to lag behind other car manufacturers in the race towards electric vehicle introduction. As per the reports, firstly, the hybrid version of City sedan will be there and instead of B-segment EV, an electric SUV is also the part of the plan.
