Is Honda’s conservative approach to the QC1 a smart strategy or a missed opportunity in the EV revolution?
Many had characterized Honda's entry into the Indian electric scooter market with the QC1 to be conservative. Unlike some of the competitors who have come up with models that come packed with the latest features, high performance, and futuristic design, Honda has chosen a more familiar and conventional way. The QC1 is essentially an electric version of their popular Activa model, and it looks and feels just like that. This strategy has divided opinions. It's smart, they say, by tapping Honda's brand recognition and appealing to a mass market seeking reliability and familiarity over innovation. Some see it as a missed opportunity to make a bold statement in the EV space and fear that it may push Honda to the backseat of the electric revolution. But this debate also brings up broader questions about how fast EVs are going to be adopted in India and whether a gradual or a radical approach will actually make it go mainstream.
It's a smart move. What most Indians want is reliable, familiar vehicles. Honda's playing to its strengths.
