Honda Electric


Benefits of driving electric

There are many compelling reasons for switching to electric. Join us as we look at some examples…

Enhanced space - Because the vast majority of EVs use single-gear transmission, they don’t have a bulky transmission tunnel, which means there’s more room for passengers to stretch out and relax.
Low running costs - A 100% electric vehicle like the Honda e or the e:Ny1 is exceptionally cost-effective to run, simply because electricity is much cheaper than fuel. What’s more, you save money on Vehicle Excise Duty because EVs are currently zero rated.
Zero-emission driving - Electric vehicles (EVs) produce no CO2 or NOx emissions whatsoever, which means they’re very environmentally friendly, wherever you happen to travel.

A hybrid car features a combustion engine, an electric motor and a self-charging battery. While most hybrids run solely on fuel, the electric motor delivers instant torque, thus facilitating rapid acceleration. A hybrid car’s battery is self-charging, a process which occurs via regenerative braking.

What is a plug-in hybrid?

While a plug-in hybrid runs chiefly on petrol/diesel, it’s capable of an average all-electric range of 37 miles. This means it’s very fuel-efficient and produces significantly fewer emissions than a regular car.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Close

The Honda e or e:Ny1 takes roughly 24 minutes to achieve a 20% to 80% charge when hooked-up to a rapid-charging (50kW) public connector.
