It’s been quite a busy day for Honda in the Philippines. Alongside the launch of the much-awaited hybrid Civic e:HEV, the Japanese marque has now also unveiled the new EM1 e:.
In case you aren’t familiar, the EM1 e: is an ‘electric moped’ that was launched in Japan last year. It’s the equivalent of 50cc motorcycles and is intended for personal use. Unlike your typical electric motorcycle or scooter, however, it’s powered by swappable batteries.

The EM1 e: is powered by the 26.1Ah Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, a 10kg battery pack with a T-shaped handle found under the seat. It enables a maximum range of about 48km and provides ease of charging, as it can be swapped out at a battery station or charged through the Honda Power Pack Charger e:. The latter is compatible with 220V sockets and needs six hours to charge the swappable battery from zero to full.
The EM1 e: is priced at P155,400 in the Philippines and comes with a two-year warranty. That price tag includes both the battery and the charger, but those can also be purchased separately. You can check out the price list below.

During the launch, Honda also confirmed that the EM1 e:’s bigger sibling, the SC e:, will also arrive in the Philippines in the future. That’s one more thing to look forward to. What do we think, people?
