Honda e to launch in Indonesia? Retro-futuristic EV trademark filed 01

Honda’s adorable little electric vehicle (EV), the Honda e, has been trademarked with Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) office – the equivalent of Malaysia's Intellectual Property Office (MyIPO).

According to OtoDriver, not only has Honda Motor Co., Ltd filed to trademark the Honda e in Indonesia, they also registered several design cues of the Honda e, including its headlights, grille, and bumpers.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

The patent application was filed back in May 2019 and will be valid for 10 years, until May 2029.

With this trademark in hand, does it necessarily mean that Honda will launch the Honda e in Indonesia?

Not really, as this patent application is Honda making sure that they retain the rights to the Honda e design and name. Basically, it’s just Honda maintaining its ownership to the trademark and not necessarily launching the adorable retro-futuristic EV in Indonesia.

As a refresher, the Honda e made its global debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. This EV gets a 35.5 kWh battery pack and offers a range of about 220 km under the WLTP test cycle.

The rear-mounted motor can be had in two power output options – 136 PS or 154 PS. Interestingly, both are able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8 seconds. The Honda E is capable of 6.6 kW AC charging.

At the moment, the Honda e is only sold in two regions: Europe and Japan. Although the idea of an affordable EV from Honda is enticing for a market like Indonesia, chances are rather slim.
