Honda e: the EV that electric car haters love // Jonny Smith

The Honda e is probably the most fascinating EV without a Tesla badge. In fact it's probably more fascinating, because its design alone captured the attention and desire of legions of car enthusiasts who don't even bloody like electric cars.
This 137 mile range Pokemon faced thing has a 35.5kWh battery pack which can be rapid charged in half an hour at 100kw. 0-62 takes 8.3 seconds with this 150hp launch edition car, but you will be able to option it with 134hp thereafter.
On paper it almost loses in every respect to its plug-in peers, but there's a charm to the £27,000 e, and for some that's enough. Using the power of finance you'll be able to live with one from under £300 a month. Regardless of whether you give a toss about zero emission cars, there is no denying this kind of design is precisely what Honda does best. I hope they do more small, slightly-retro-but-not rear wheel drive cars in the near future. Oh, the power of dreams...
Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to Carpervert for an eclectic mixed bag of automotive treats from today, yesterday and tomorrow.

My mum has one of these, so i have, as a result a few miles in it. It has a spectacular interior with all the tech you could need and more. The glass-roof makes the cabin feel spacious and filled with light. The turning-circle takes you by suprise every other corner. The low centre of gravity makes it feel agile and zippy. The 156-bhp makes it suprisigly quick off the lights. Looking at the range, it's easy to dismiss it. DON'T! As a city-car, it's perfect! The Honda E is a nice place to be, and a incredily well-designed automobile. I could not reccomend it higher!

Safety durability is highly suspected, and in the event of a collision, the driver is likely to die on the spot with a probability of over 80%. The biggest problem with this car is battery capacity and it is suitable for golf carts. The capacity and maintenance of the battery are the most important issues when purchasing an electric car.

The design is so intuitive and well thought out that it actually makes me want to weep. Multiple, elegantly placed HD displays... but the AC controls and volume still have physical buttons. It's like they took the time to actually consider the ergonomics. The cupholder and storage area are ingenious and the modularity is a great takeaway from the things I love about utility vehicles. The power outlets make it even more of an appliance but the driving characteristics look like it would be a joy to drive. Honestly, this is the first EV I've really seen and though, when I have the money I am gonna buy one of these.

There is only one tiny 'flaw' in the design for me so far: I wished they made the wheels slightly bigger. I just don't like cars with tiny wheels, it makes them look out of proportion (there are definetly worse cars then this), but i love the rest of this car. I would love an option with 18 (or maybe even 19) inch wheels, i dont mind the 5 or 10 km lesser range and the probably slightly bigger turning circle.

It just needs him to state what terms he has the car on for the review, also what the agreement is and how much editorial control the company loaning the Press Car has over the final video. The problem with many Press Car Loan Reviews is that they are all the same. The script sent with the car stays the same, only the channel name, face, voice and background changes. Try watching a few. I know from people that do reviews, they will say anything they are told in order to get a free car for a few weeks or months. They do the same with other products they get for free and with sponnsorship deals. Great if you can get that sort of thing, but the reviews are not always the type me or you would film if we were asked to.

I still got my 1994 Honda Civic Shuttle and it's always been well maintained but its basically had nothing ever go wrong with it-that and the excellent gas miliage are the main reasons I've still got it. Honda have a real talent for making extremely reliable cars. And with the Honda e and my old Honda Shuttle very cute ones too. The styling on that new Honda is so adorable.

Great balanced review. Maybe after market shops will eventually be able to add a better battery pack for more range. Offer lighter car panels. make it have folding rear seats for more boot space.

@VoxelLoop
@VoxelLoop 3 года назад
Maybe they could make a 5 door variant with similar styling, something like the US version of the Civic. (EU/JP version was a hatcback, US version was a sedan) That way they could fit a larger battery in it to produce a larger range EV. I really love the interior, really love the exterior, but the range is a big let down! Makes sense for a city car though I suppose. :)

@VoxelLoop

@UnderBridge Rock It depends a lot on your life style really. :) I regularly drive around purely for the sake of driving, I enjoy driving. Driving fast on twisty mountain roads is great fun. On top of that, the area I live in is outside of a city so it's mainly 60mph roads, a lot of stopping and going back to 60mph over and over on most journeys. The issue is that with the Model 3 Performance I have, in the winter, my real world range is around 150 miles due to the roads I drive on and HVAC usage. With someone like a Honda E that only boasts 150 miles rated range, you could be looking at 75 miles of real range in similar circumstances. In rural areas where a restaurant I go to is 25 miles away, that kind of usable range doesn't inspire confidence. (I live in the UK by the way! No Texan here. A lot of our roads outside cities are 60mph, very twisty, and up and down hills. Horrible for efficiency, especially combined with HVAC being used for heating 80% of the year due to the colder weather) BUT... I know the Honda E is just a city car, the range makes perfect sense. I'm just giving an example of a real use case for a higher range vehicle that's more than "Because I want more range". :)
