The Motor and Battery Swap is a quick upgrade, but it's one of those jobs that can trip you up if you're clicking through menus too fast. You'll need the 2022 Honda E, a bit of garage time, and enough Forza Horizon 6 Credits to cover the car and the conversion. It's not a huge spend compared with supercars or heavy race builds, which is probably why the game uses this little EV as an early lesson in how electric conversions work.
What the Swap Actually Changes
This isn't like fitting better tyres or throwing on a sport exhaust. A Motor and Battery Swap changes the heart of the car. In the Honda E, that means replacing the standard electric setup with a stronger motor and battery package, giving the car more punch when you pull away and a different feel once it's moving. You're not just chasing a number on the performance screen either. The car may react differently through corners, under braking, and when you try to launch it out of tight bends. For players who usually skip tuning menus, this is a neat way to see why conversions matter.
Getting the Right Car
Start by picking up the 2022 Honda E from the Autoshow if it's not already sitting in your garage. It's the required car for this objective, so don't waste time trying the same upgrade on another electric vehicle. Once you own it, set it as your current car and head into the garage upgrade area. The Honda E is cheap enough that most players can buy it early, and that's handy because this challenge is tied to Discover Japan progress and the Car Upgrades title track.
How to Install the Motor and Battery Swap
From the garage, open Upgrades & Tuning, then choose Custom Upgrade. Go into Body Kits and Conversions, where you'll find the Motor and Battery Swap option. Select the 235BHP Motor upgrade, check the price, and install it. The conversion costs 20,000 CR, so make sure you've got enough before entering the menu. After confirming the purchase, back out of the garage and let the game register the change. If it doesn't pop instantly, drive the car for a moment or return to the challenge screen. Sometimes the notification takes a second.
Rewards and Progress
Once the swap is fitted, you should see Discover Japan progress appear on the right side of the screen. You may also get credit for owning the Honda E, depending on what you'd already completed. These points aren't flashy, but they add up. If you're chasing titles, completion badges, or just trying to clear the upgrade-related tasks without leaving loose ends behind, this is one of the easier boxes to tick. It also gives you a reason to test an EV build instead of always reaching for the usual all-wheel-drive meta cars.
Final Thoughts
The Honda E Motor and Battery Swap is simple, cheap, and worth doing early. It teaches you where conversion upgrades live, gives you useful progression, and lets you feel how a powertrain change can reshape a small electric car. If you're short on cash after buying vehicles or tuning parts, you can race, use Wheelspins, sell duplicates, or choose to buy FH6 Credits before returning to the garage and finishing the upgrade properly.
