    To turn these plans into reality, Honda is also working hard to make a strong dealer network for the distribution and service of its upcoming BEVs. 

    It has come up with a new dealership facility design that will offer dealers a modular and flexible space reflecting the ways in which customers purchase vehicles. The automaker is also taking care of EV charging stations installed at the dealers’ space and providing guidelines for the requirement of different types of special tools and equipment needed to service Honda electric vehicles.
