WAKO, Japan — Honda Motor Co. is introducing a range of personal mobility products such as scooters and minivehicles that run on interchangeable batteries.
The black, 1-kilowatt-hour rechargeable batteries, called Mobile Power Packs, are about the size and weight of one-gallon milk jugs.
Honda said last week that it has begun deploying the packs in Indonesia, where they power its full-electric PCX motorbike.
Honda says vending machine-like recharging stations dot certain markets there, allowing motorbike drivers to simply drop off the spent power pack and pick up a new one.
