JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The new Honda electric vehicle, widely speculated to be named the Honda Super One, is now available for pre-order by consumers in Indonesia. Several Honda dealerships in Jakarta have already opened pre-orders with a deposit of IDR 10 million.

This information emerged amidst discussions about the code for the new Honda electric vehicle listed in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s Motor Vehicle Value (NJKB) list for 2026. One Honda salesperson in Jakarta stated that interested consumers can now place pre-orders, even though the official launch has not yet taken place.

In addition, Veda Ega Pratama delivered a commendable performance during the qualifying session of the 2026 Catalunya Moto3 race held at the Catalunya Circuit. However, his efforts were not enough to secure a better starting position.

The Honda Team Asia rider only managed to record a best time of 1 minute and 47.630 seconds in Q1. This time was insufficient for him to advance to the Q2 qualifying session.

“For the Super One, pre-orders are now open. The price will be announced during the launch at GIIAS; it’s a batch system, so there will be a waiting list. The estimated price is between IDR 300 million and IDR 350 million. The pre-booking deposit is IDR 10 million,” said a Honda salesperson in Jakarta to Kompas.com on Saturday (May 16, 2026).

Initially, Veda was in fourth place, which would have been enough for him to advance to Q2. However, in the final minutes, his position dropped to seventh.

Pedro Acosta delivered an impressive performance at his home circuit. The KTM rider secured pole position during the qualifying session of the 2026 Catalunya MotoGP race held at the Catalunya Circuit on Saturday (May 16, 2026).

Acosta recorded the fastest time with 1 minute and 38.068 seconds. Acosta is expected to be a strong contender against his rivals in the battle for the top spot on the podium at this circuit.

Fast charging technology is one of the important features that supports the daily use of electric vehicles. With fast charging, vehicle batteries can be charged more quickly compared to normal charging.

However, despite its practicality, concerns have emerged that frequent use of fast charging may accelerate the degradation of electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

The practice of unscrupulous used car dealers remains a concern for some consumers today. Practices such as odometer manipulation, concealing collision history, and disguising the condition of vehicles are still frequently found in the used car market.

However, on the other hand, many dealers are now more open to vehicle inspection processes to maintain consumer trust.
