1. Suzuki unveils its first electric scooter at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
Suzuki has unveiled its first electric scooter, the e-Access, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The scooter comes with a fixed 3.07 kWh LFP battery which gives a range of 95 km. The battery can be charged from 0-100% in 6 hours 42 minutes through regular charging and in 2 hours 12 minutes using a fast charger. The new Suzuki e-Access has a top speed of 71 km/hr and comes with a reverse mode for added convenience. The company didn’t reveal prices at the expo.
The e Access sits on the same platform as the petrol Access 125. Suzuki is entering the Indian electric scooter market after the recent arrival of Honda with two electric scooters, the Honda Activa e: & the QC1. There were reports of Suzuki testing the Burgman Electric in India, but the company has opted to bring the electric version of its most popular scooter instead. The Suzuki Access 125 is the country’s best-selling 125CC scooter. Suzuki using the ‘Access’ branding for its first electric scooter is strategically similar to what Honda did with its first electric offering.
The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is being held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi from 17th to 22nd January. Kazam will regularly update you regarding all EV launches at the expo.
2. EV charger installed at one of the most remote islands in the world.
St Helena, one of the most remote islands in the world, now has an EV charging station. With a population of just 4500 & four electric cars, the British Overseas Territory’s government hopes that improving the charging infrastructure will incentivize citizens to switch to electric. St Helena plans to have 100% zero-emissions transport by the end of 2030. Recently, the government cut tax on importing EVs to zero.
The project has been jointly executed by car manufacturer Subaru & EV charger manufacturer Easee. More EV charging points are expected to come up to support a fleet of electric cars that will be imported this year for tourists. St Helena is located in southern Atlantic Ocean between the continents of Africa & South America.
