To manufacturer new batteries, Honda will collaborate with another firm which is yet to be revealed. In Japan, the new 350kW chargers are expected to be set up by 2020 which is an upgrade from the current 150kW chargers.

Before introducing the fast-charging electric cars, Honda will launch mass-market electric vehicles in Europe and Japan in 2019 and 2020 respectively. In Europe, several countries are planning to setup 350kW charging stations on the highways to encourage the use of EVs.

Similar to other countries, India is also pushing towards the shift to pure electric vehicles. But the primary challenge is the charging infrastructure which is not in place in the country. But the government plans to shift to electric vehicles by 2030.

Honda is developing an ultra-fast charging technology which is similar to Fisker EMotion EV. The reduction in charging time could be a crucial move in the sales of electric vehicles. Currently, the main drawback of EVs is the charging time and driving range. If both these problems are solved, there is no doubt in EVs becoming the future of automobile industry.
