Honda e, what does everyone think?

[Cogarch]

I like the look of it... looks like an old Golf

Nothing like as much as the original concept did.

I'm not EV religious, I'm just an EV owner and enthusiast since 2012. We have some Volts, and they are nearly always in Pure EV mode. They do not burn a drop of gas in a normal month. It's only when you exceed 50 miles do they use any gas. It's like having two cars. A pure EV when commuting, or a hybrid when traveling long distances.

Fair point ...

Some reports that the dash screens aren’t crisp and clear near the edges. That would wind me up

That does seem amazing considering that decent resolution screens are everywhere these days.

 

[Yev000]

but very impressed with the size

This is my main point. If you want a small EV, not sure you can beat this. Even i3 is bigger (and a lot less practical)

Range is enough. We got a Leaf with 107 mile range, she charges it 4 hours a week. For everything else there's the Tesla.

It would even be fine for my commute, would just need to charge it every day.

I really love the look, but if we replace our polo the competition will be stiff from the e208 etc.

The perfect market for this car all currently drive range rovers instead of model X's, so hopefully the styling encourages more people to give EVs a go.

Hey look,
I ordered one sight unseen (have previous on this did the same for the model 3 lol)

but when I saw it !!!

ive been driving a leaf for the past 5 years so no stranger to ev’s, albeit in a design that’s 10 years old...

anyway. Don’t underestimate this car. Yeah the range is lower but so is the price!!

£28k for the top banana one.
Didn’t notice any blurriness on the screens. Was very impressed at how feature complete it was and apparently stable. I like pressing buttons and I never managed to break it!
Flicking apps from 1 side to another was quite smooth.
Wing mirror screens are a just such a natural thing after about 1 min. This will be widely copied
Interior is sparse but follows the Honda ‘living room’ approach and was quite roomy for 4 adults easy.
I honestly don’t think honda will be able to make enough!
Shame I’m not getting one after all now but I’ll console myself with my m3p....

That was an unexpected twist..!

What put you off it..?

 

[Wayneski]

To be honest
Work was looking a bit dodgy so I thought I’d better be responsible!

no sooner than o had done that, work sured up a bit and I had an attitude adjustment.
Couldn’t get my place back. Wait was a bit long so start weighin up options.
Made the suns work for an m3 p so here I am!

when it’s time for the missus car we may go honda

Here in Europe I don't know why anyone would buy one and not a Zoe (renting the battery). Charging rates are better but that's really irrelevant for this type of use case.

You don't acknowledge that people might be prepared to pay more for brand or aesthetics...?

 

[sixela]

Of course. I expect the e-Mini will also sell well here.

 

[Watts_Up]

The front screen quite large, and the two screens can be exchange between passenger and driver (see the following video at 4:00)

Note: At 4:17 they also shows the redesigned Model 3...

Some people like digital mirror emulation, some do not. If you wear polarized lens, sometimes you run into issues.

renting the battery - and that rental is added onto any kind of lease.

That and it looks drab, its bigger, its slower. The only advantage is a bigger battery. It's actually 3k more expensive at base price.
