Suzuki e-Access vs Honda Activa e: Battery, range, specs compared
The electric scooter segment in India is heating up. Two legacy manufacturers, Honda and Suzuki, have finally entered the space, bringing in the electrified versions of one of their most popular nameplates in the country. While Honda has already launched its first electric scooter, the Activa e:, Suzuki is preparing to announce the pricing of the e-Access soon. Despite following a very different approach for their electrification strategy, both scooters will lock horns in the market and here's how these models stack up against each other in terms of battery, range, power output and more.
Honda Activa e: vs Suzuki e-Access: Battery & range
The Honda Activa e: comes with two swappable 1.5 kWh lithium-ion batteries paired with a 6 kW motor that churns out 22 Nm of torque. It claims a range of 102 km on a single charge and reaches a top speed of 80 kmph. But instead of offering home charging, Honda provides access to its e:SWAP stations where riders can exchange their depleted batteries with fully charged ones.
On the other hand, Suzuki's e-Access opts for a fixed battery setup, using a 3.07 kWh LFP battery that offers a certified range of 95 km. The electric motor produces 4.1 kW of power and 15 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 71 kmph. Suzuki provides multiple charging options: at home, it takes about 6 hours and 42 minutes for a full charge using the portable charger, while a DC fast charger can juice it up fully in just 2 hours and 12 minutes.
Honda Activa e: vs Suzuki e-Access: Features
Feature-wise, the Honda Activa e: comes equipped with a large 7-inch TFT screen and connected tech via the Honda RoadSync Duo app, offering features like navigation, calls, music control, live tracking, and maintenance alerts. It also includes three riding modes: Econ, Standard, and Sport.

On the other hand, the Suzuki e-Access features a smaller 4.3-inch TFT display, along with keyless ignition, three riding modes (Eco, Ride A, Ride B), and a reverse mode. It comes with a digital instrument cluster offering smartphone connectivity for navigation, live traffic updates, and call/SMS alerts. Other highlights include a USB charging port, all-LED lighting, and fast charging support.
Honda Activa e: vs Suzuki e-Access: Pricing
When it comes to pricing, the Honda Activa e: starts at Rs 1.17 lakh, ex-showroom, for the standard variant, while the more tech-laden RoadSync Duo variant costs Rs 1.52 lakh. Suzuki is yet to announce the price of the e-Access. It can be expected to be in the 1.05-1.10 lakh, ex-showroom, ballpark.

73 Years Ago, This Puri-Sabzi Stall Sold Its First Plate For 15 Paise. Today, It Costs...
Agarwal Puri Bhandar in Bhopal has served iconic puri-sabzi for 73 years, keeping a family legacy alive with timeless flavours and home-ground spices You may have enjoyed puri-sabzi at countless places, but there's something truly special about the flavours at Agarwal Puri Bhandar, nestled in Chowk Bazaar, in the heart of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. This iconic eatery has been serving up its legendary puri and potato curry for over 73 years. With a taste reminiscent of the classic Bhandare -style meal, it continues to draw visitors from far and wide. A Legacy Of Flavour In conversation with Local 18, Pradeep Agarwal, the current proprietor, shared the story behind the enduring success of this humble establishment. His father, the late Shri Ram Agarwal, founded the shop in 1952, renting a small 10-by-12-foot space. Back then, Bhopal was a quieter, smaller city. The nearby Jumerati Gate would close by 7 pm, prompting customers to arrive early for their evening meals. It didn't take long for the delicious, homestyle puri-sabzi to capture hearts and create a loyal following. A Culinary Journey Through The Decades From just 15 paise for a plate in the 1950s to Rs 60 today, the journey of Agarwal Puri Bhandar reflects both tradition and timeless appeal. In its early days, five puris and a generous serving of potato curry were available for just 10 to 15 annas. Long-standing patrons fondly recall Ram Agarwal himself cooking and serving the meals. The menu has since grown to include raita, pickle, papad, gulab jamun, and dahi bade, all paired perfectly with freshly made puris. The shop has maintained its essence while keeping up with evolving tastes. Now run by the third generation, Pradeep Agarwal proudly continues his father's legacy. Regulars still park their vehicles outside Chowk Bazaar and walk in for a plate of their favourite dish. The family grinds its own spices in-house, preserving the signature taste that has stood the test of time. His sons, Ayush and Aman Agarwal, have also joined the family business, ensuring the tradition continues. The family has even expanded, opening a new outlet, Rajbhog, in MP Nagar, bringing their beloved flavours to another part of the city. First Published: July 01, 2025, 09:41 IST

Delhi ramps up crackdown on overage vehicles at fuel stations
New Delhi: Banners flapped, loudspeakers announced numbers, squads in uniform watched closely, and cameras quietly scanned number plates — even before people stepped out of their cars. On Tuesday, as teams began enforcing the restrictions on fuel distribution to outdated vehicles, the scene played out like clockwork at several stations. The vehicles rolled in and the cameras instantly read the plate, just as challan cameras do, and if it was a 10-year-old diesel or a 15-year-old petrol car, a voice from the speaker immediately flagged it. The fuel staff gently refused petrol, and within moments, traffic police, transport department officials, and local cops approached, ask for RC, and if the vehicle was indeed overdue, impounded it. The mood at the pumps was part tense, part curious, and in places, dramatic. For instance, at a fuel station next to Lodhi Hotel in south Delhi, a car belonging to another state's police department was impounded after being flagged. "It was a smooth process," said traffic inspector Sanjeev Kumar. "The minute the car was read, we asked for the RCs and found it overage. The scrapper was called and the vehicle will now be sent to the yard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scalable retail: Video analytics firm enables more traffic thanks to robust computing power - Google Cloud: Future of Infrastructure CIO | Google Cloud, AMD Undo " You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A similar scene played out in Tughlaq Road Circle, where a car belonging to army personnel heading out of Delhi was impounded while refuelling. This car was also from another state. Officials said if the owners request to take them back out of Delhi, standard procedure will be followed. Two-wheelers weren't far behind. At the Lodhi Hotel station, Jaiveer and Fukran watched helplessly as their bikes were taken away. "This was all I had," Jaiveer said, his voice cracking. "I bought it second-hand in April for Rs 15,000. I sell kulcha-chole on a thela — how am I supposed to drag that around now? I didn't even know this was a rule. They should've given us some time." Fukran, whose bike carried a UP plate, added, "In my town, I got a five-year extension. I had no clue Delhi had a separate law. But what can one do now?" While many saw action from the get-go, some pumps witnessed only a trickle of flagged vehicles. At a few stations, enforcement setups weren't fully functional — in some, cameras worked but speakers did not. Alka Sahni, owner of Bharat Petroleum pump at Connaught Place, highlighted the absence of a speaker system to announce incoming vehicles exceeding the age limit. "I visited another pump to see how they operate under the new guidelines. At this station, the speaker is yet to be installed. Although the ANPR camera is in place, it's too technical for the workers to operate. I have complained thrice to Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation. They have promised they will install the speaker soon," she said. At the National Service Station in Connaught Place, where all equipment, including ANPR cameras, a speaker and informational banners, was installed, supervisor Mukesh Singh pointed out the absence of police personnel. "An officer visited but left within five minutes. Even though no banned vehicles have been recorded yet, police presence should be maintained," he said. At others, especially those outside the official list of 400 monitored stations, there were no checks at all. Vehicles — expired or not — continued to refuel as usual. At several pumps, enforcement teams had a dull day as no overaged vehicle appeared. At a pump in Ashram, a 15-year-old Mercedes was seized, along with several two-wheelers. Enforcement teams at pumps like Ghazipur border and Mayur Vihar did not report any violations. Jai Veer, head constable, transport enforcement, deployed at Ghazipur pump, said, "I think people with overaged cars are avoiding visiting pumps." Nischal Singhnaia, president, Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association, said, "Limited vehicles have been detected, and we have noted speakers were not present at some pumps. There are also concerns about camera placement. At my pump's location, a car travelling on the service road was incorrectly flagged as exceeding the speed limit."

48 high-end ‘model liquor shops' soon in Raj cities
Jaipur: Tipplers in the state will soon stroll into posh, air-conditioned showrooms to purchase their favourite premium brands. The excise department is launching 48 'model liquor shops' across major cities, strategically located in malls, shopping complexes, and other high-footfall areas. Jaipur is set to receive five such outlets, while Jodhpur and Udaipur will get two each. Mount Abu and Abu Road—treated as distinct zones due to their proximity to Gujarat, a dry state, will have one outlet each. The remaining 37 shops will be auctioned across various cities. An official said, "The minimum reserve price for model shops in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Mount Abu, and Abu Road has been fixed at Rs 1 crore per outlet. For other locations, the base price is Rs 50 lakh. The online auction is scheduled for July 7, with a non-refundable participation fee of Rs 50,000 per shop. Bidders may not raise their bids by more than 10% over the base price in a single attempt." To qualify, a minimum space of 1,000 sq ft is required in Jaipur, while 500 sq ft suffices in other cities. Each outlet must be fully air-conditioned and offer a walk-in experience. For enhanced transparency and customer convenience, POS billing systems and hologram-scanning beep machines will be mandatory. Only premium alcoholic beverages will be available for sale—beer priced above Rs 200 per 650 ml and Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) brands costing Rs 1,500 or more per 750 ml bottle. The initiative is part of the state's 2025–2029 excise and liquor regulation policy. An official explained, "This concept is already in place in several metropolitan areas, including Gurugram. Many premium brands have so far hesitated to launch in Rajasthan due to concerns over inadequate shelf display. As a result, customers often travel to other states to purchase premium liquor. This initiative aims to bridge that gap." Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!
