Honda QC3 is the latest entrant in the Indian two-wheeler market's family electric scooter segment, where it competes with tough and well-established rivals such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2, among others. Launched at a price of ₹1.35 lakh (ex-showroom), the Honda QC3 is already available for booking at a price tag of ₹5,000.
Available through select RedWing dealerships of the Japanese two-wheeler brand in cities such as Delhi, Agra, Cuttack, Surat and Kollam, the QC3 uses a 3.0 kWh battery pack that promises a claimed IDC range of 145 km on a single charge. Honda claims the battery can be charged from zero to 80% in two hours and 40 minutes. However, a complete charge takes approximately four hours.
If you are planning to buy the Honda QC3 and considering some other competing models as well, here is a quick and comprehensive comparison of the possible monthly EMI that the Honda QC3 and TVS iQube command.
To calculate the monthly EMI, we have considered the loan amount as 100% of the ex-showroom price for both electric scooters, while the rate of interest and repayment tenures have been considered as 9.5% and 24 months, respectively. For the electric scooters, we have considered the base variants of each model.

| Honda QC3 | ₹135,000 | 9.5% | 24 months | ₹6,198 |
