HONDA E CITY ELECTRIC CAR WITH ME FOR THE HOTTEST DAY RECORDED. REAL WORLD RANGE & EFFICIENCY TEST!

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles an ambitious real-world range and efficiency test of the Honda E, pushing it far beyond its typical urban environment on the hottest day recorded in the UK. The reviewer, Richard Simons, highlights the car's quirky retro design, comfortable and refined ride, and surprisingly spacious interior, even on motorways. He praises the excellent build quality, effective climate control, and the useful digital wing mirrors and infotainment system. However, the test reveals significant limitations for longer journeys. The Honda E averaged a disappointing 3.9 miles per kilowatt-hour, with a real-world motorway range estimated at around 100 miles, significantly less than competitors like the Tesla Model 3. Charging speeds also slowed considerably in the extreme heat, taking longer than advertised. While Simons ultimately gives the Honda E a thumbs-up as a comfortable, refined, and well-built city car, he strongly advises against it for those frequently undertaking long journeys, concluding it's not the ideal car for such use despite its pleasant driving experience.
