Is the Honda QC1's modest performance destined to fail in the cutthroat Indian EV market?
The Honda QC1 Electric has come under fire for being outperformed by some of its Indian electric scooter rivals. It’s not going to win any speed contests, with a top speed of 50 km/h and a 0–40 km/h acceleration time of 9.7 seconds. With an 80 km range, practical for many urban commuters, it doesn’t match what some rival models boast. As a result, there have been debates about whether or not Honda has missed the mark by not entering the performance-oriented segment of the market. Others argue that in a country where traffic doesn't really allow for high speeds anyway, the QC1's specs are more than enough for day-to-day use. Others argue that, in a market where consumers too often equate higher numbers with greater value, the QC1 would have trouble drawing the imagination of buyers, namely young, tech-savvy consumers who are often early adopters of EVs.
Nah, it's not doomed. All most people need is a reliable commuter, not a speed demon. Honda knows its market.
