Uploaded 2 years ago by The Electric Viking

Video Summary

- The car's attempt at an EV is disappointing.
- The Honda EV's range is just under 260 miles, roughly 20 miles less than a Tesla Model Y.
- It is priced similarly to a Model Y, slightly more expensive at £45,000 to £49,000.
- The car is smaller, similar in size to a BYD Atto 3 or a Kia Niro.
- The car has a long bonnet, and underneath, there is no frunk.
- The boot is 360 liters, smaller than a Volkswagen Golf.
- The battery pack is 68.8 kWh, but only 62 kWh are usable, with 10% being a buffer to prevent battery issues.
- The battery chemistry is not Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) but Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM).
- Charging speed is 65 kW.
- AC charging is 11 kW.
- A 10-inch screen is in front of the driver.
- It has a 15.1-inch media screen.
- It comes with a digital key package, free for the first year, then requires a subscription.
- The most expensive model offers black or light gray premium synthetic leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a heated leather steering wheel, hands-free tailgate, upgraded audio, and parking pilot.
- The warranty is five years, with roadside assistance included in the UK.

Overall Verdict:
- Based on the specifications, and without a test drive, it gets a 4/10 rating. For the Honda fans, this may be interesting as an electric option, but for others it may be advised to look somewhere else.
