    Just release a Civic “Type-E” . Although the Civic in all forms will likely die by the end of this gen 100%. Most likely their next EV will be a CRV/HRV

    Ultimately you wonder much like Toyota, will Honda ever get to grips with EV’s, it looks very unlikely

    We’ve got one, a couple of years ago for £27k.

    Full of tech with physical buttons that just works, solidly built, 5 doors with good cabin space but tiny boot. Keep below 70mph / 110kph and it’s fairly efficient with range.

    At the time, for us it was better than the competition and similar price / range to a specced up Mini. Makes a great 2nd car and we’re keeping it long term. However £37k is laughable!

    At $25k in the US this would have been amazing. It reminded me of the Nissan Pike cars from the 90s. As it is, it just showed that Honda doesn’t understand EVs or EV buyers.

    Didnt every single Honda electrified car get discontinued within a single generation including cars like the Insight, fit, accord and civic. Sure, eventually honda teases people by eventually rebrand a car to bring it back the electrified cat, but its almost like clockwork that honda will discontinue whatever hybrid/ev they make in 3-5 years.

    Not to worry- China will quickly supply what people want and the Japanese will disappear. And that would be a tragedy.

    I am sad to see the Honda e’s demise before it could really be appreciated. I understand it was never priced to sell, so it is a failure. But I nevertheless really liked the design (both exterior and interior), and the motif (small city car).

    I hope that this isn’t taken as a signal arguing against those two attributes (its size and design). I believe it would have done well had the costs been lower, and the resulting price had reflected that.

    I would be all over something like this as a second car if it were $25K or thereabouts.

      For the right price, everything can be sold.

    This was a super cool car that was about twice the price it should’ve been to make sense. I was excited about it when first announced despite the low range.

    Damn shame, this was one of the few EVs that a decent number of ICE drivers seemed interested in. Once again the the value for money ratio was daft.

    Honda really messed up with the Honda e. Too expensive, and the range is unacceptably short. The car is beautiful inside and out, but I’d never recommend it to anyone due to the price and nonexistent range.

    A 1 year old model 3 would be a 1000 times better purchase … sadly. It’s the coolest car but needs twice the range for half the price to be anywhere near an attractive proposition
