Honda E: The EV That Electric Car Haters Love
Jonny Smith reviews the Honda e, highlighting its unique appeal that transcends typical EV metrics. Despite its on-paper shortcomings in range and per... moreformance compared to competitors, the "e" captivates with its exceptional design, drawing in even EV skeptics. Smith praises the car's "homely" and "luxurious lounge" interior, featuring a distinctive dual-screen setup and innovative camera mirrors with effective rain-repellent coatings. The driving experience is described as agile, particularly its "ridiculous" 4.3-meter turning circle, making it ideal for urban environments. However, the review points out significant drawbacks, including a "tiny" 171-liter boot and a weight that seems disproportionate to its limited range. The charging speed at 50kW is also questioned for being only marginally faster than 100kW. While acknowledging the car's flaws, Smith concludes that the Honda e's undeniable charm and distinctive character make it a desirable, albeit niche, product that will likely cultivate a cult following. less
