Honda e range test 

@@jhchooo I agree about the ebike comment.

allride Honda need to find people like you otherwise this thing is going to be a sales failure. No middle rear seat, tiny boot/trunk, below average range and rapid charge speed, poor efficiency, relatively high price for a small car etc. the list goes on...

@@Chrisb8s I don't! eBike has nothing to do with it when considering buying a CAR!? Stupid comment.

My head says Renault Zoe, my heart says Honda e

I wish they won't sell any, maybe then they will open their eyes, peoppe need decent saloons with decent range, not techny can on wheels.

It will be at rebate in few months,just wait

Yeah, I mean, if you live and drive around in a place like Tokyo metropolitan area this thing has got your commuting needs covered... and it's also easier to park, so I presume it will sell well in that kind of places provided there's the charging infrastructure already deployed.

Here in the City I don't need a car and when I want to visit my Mother I would have to drive very careful to reach the charging station on my way back :(

@@VolkerHett sure, it's not for everyone, my own city is about 30 miles across, so this range is fine, I'm fact the less range with my current Nissan Leaf 24kwh is not a problem.

For a city car, the e-up/Mii/Citigo are a much better bargain. And they even have a higher range, a larger boot and a 2-phase AC charger.

As battery cells going to increase in capacity, we'll see one day an update too - is it from Honda? I don't know but if not, there will be some enthusiasts for sure.

@Jay Em you mean like the honda hybrid / ima battery systems? I hope you are joking.

@@jorakarandas6592 : I agree, Honda's IMA hybrid system isn't very good. I should know, my daily driver is a 2006 Civic Hybrid. But the reliability data seems to indicate that Honda's current hybrid system is extremely reliable, and it shares nothing with the old Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system. IMA is basically a belt-and-pulley CVT transmission with two electric motors. It adds complexity compared to just having a transmission. The new Honda hybrid system, however, has no transmission at all. With such a common point of failure just gone, it's down to the reliability of the electric motors, which are ridiculously simple mechanisms and proportionately reliable. Unfortunately, Honda has really fallen behind on hybrid car efficiency. Honda offers better hybrid car driving dynamics and performance, but at high speed, a current Honda Insight gets 42 MPG while a current Toyota Corolla Hybrid gets 54+ MPG, meaning the Honda gets 22% worse fuel economy at best.

Amen!!

in Germany you can get this car for around 23´000 Euro.

The Legend 27 where?

I am not a fan of electric cars, Honda should bring this as hybrid.

@@TheLegend27.1 In Germany you can also get the e-up/Mii/Citigo for 12-15 k€, with more range, a larger boot and faster AC charging (important for a city car). The Honda is just an expensive toy.

I'm sorry, what?

Yes I'm confuse

Beautiful!

@@CyAn-S And I would argue that you can have a cute car if it's not your main car, I wouldn't mind having it for a third or fourth car but primary car there are better more sensible options today including the Model 3 and Kona.

@@CyAn-S it would be better to buy a Chevy spark

It is 12.95kWh/100km WLTP. Kona Ev 64kWh is 13.22kWh/100km. Model 3 LR DM is 12.94kWh/100km. Seems to me it is at the pointy end of efficiency. Range is simply a function of battery capacity. If they had a bigger body, they could fit more cells and the range would rise proportionally.

I wonder what the range will be after it's about 3 years old.

@@dj33036 Knowing every other EV on the market, completely fine. EV batteries seem to be wearing nicely.

Andrew Holst If completely fine is 20% less range after a few years, then yes

@@Ignacio.Romero Except that doesn't happen, but ok.

Bruh look at the size of this car, you can't possibly expect way bigger battery from a car this small.

All EV's should have this!

I wonder what would happen 😂

@@BHBeckenbauer probably trigger the internal protection, because it will just generating heat and loses.

Perpetual motion - brilliant! No doubt the orange American will claim the credit for that one. (A lot of people said it was his idea, a lot of people)

"Selfcharging electric" - It has finally arrived.

Side mirrors cameras and Lcd seems like too much tho... I`m all for new gadgets but...it seems over-engineered and without any significant gain...

I wonder how it is at night. Cameras are usually worse than eyes at night.

People need to stop with the whole range anxiety and battery size craze. It's just a huge waste of harmful and expensive lithium. 90%+ of people don't even drive 150+ km nonstop. So for nearly all people this battery size is big enough, if the car had a bigger battery they wouldn't use it at all and just carry around the lithium batteries as dead weight, so for nearly all people a bigger battery would only have big drawbacks. Stop the range anxiety and battery size "arms race", start right sizing.

@@Mgoblagulkablong Big batteries lose a lot less capacity over time. They don't get as much charging cycles and almost never discharged below 20%. For example 2014 Teslas still have 80% - 90% of their factory capacity, while Leafs require battery replacements.

@@yourcrazybear For me range is not the most important thing. It's the speed and availability of fast chargers that matters. I drive a Tesla M3P, and do around 50.000 km/year. I also drive longer trips of up to 1.000 km in a day, and I see no problem having an electric car, since it charges at 175-250 KwH/hour, which means a 15 minute stop every two hours.

FWB007 You know this has to be done Björn!

The real test is to make two Honda e charge each other

Connect the 220 V to the charge port. You should be able to run forever!

Haha he did

oh maan me too

Wow, another simpleton and even proud of it !!! That joke was funny 5 years ago, today just sound retarded so wake up, it's 2020.

@@overtaxed3628 WTF?! Bit OTT?!

Røde microphone.

Bjørn Nyland Do you record your sound separately or straight to the camera?

Also available in e-up/Mii/Citigo 👍

Ford technology.

I don't own a Tesla. But I don't think tesla owners will be jealous. Those screens look like gimmick

I have no idea.

Same my current armrest is cracked and destroyed because I use it so much

I don't think I've ever used an armrest in my life

@@angryfish401 How fat are you?

It depends on Skoda of course...

Corrected

You don't seem to realize how far 150km is. You can literally drive across 10 cities with that range. How many people drive Brussels-Paris...

Route from centre of Brussels to centre of Paris is 312 km. If you leave full and don't mind arriving empty, you only have to stop for one charge.

Mgoblagulkablong while I agree with you 100%, what's not acceptable of this car is the battery consumption. A similar car as the Mini E, with a similar battery, will do 120km/h at around 15-16 kwh, even uphill it's difficult to get it over 20 kwh. The small battery-less weight is great if it reduces consumption. Not the case here at all... so while it may be enough, it's so inefficient it's not worth it. Too bad since design/technology wise this was my number 1 option.

@@Mgoblagulkablong but more range means less often recharging it. Not every car owner has the possibility to recharge at home :)

@@Mgoblagulkablong for what I would use is 70 km to work, then back. After 12 hours working don't wanna go to look for a charger so I could start driving home.

@@alfonsodam Also its about the same weight as a model 3 RWD.....

Yes, of course.

@@bjornnyland Looking forward to that one

@@Creophilia i feel the Polestar 2 is one of the most anticipated EV's at the moment. Expect a lot of views on a review of that car

That would be presuming a charger was wherever you needed to stop and available.

The Leaf is not a good choice these days.. would check out the Hyundai Kona instead if you want a cheaper car with lots of range.

Martijn Kösters WLTP figure is with the 16” wheels, so yes.

Martijn Kösters How long did you drive this Honda, why you say that?

Wider tires give it stability and able to handle the battery weight easier

Pilot Sport 4's too! Fairly sticky compound.

Don't knock Singapore's weather - It's perfect, my number 1 favorite thing about Singapore when I lived there was the weather.

My bad. The error has been corrected in the spreadsheet now.
