The automotive world is rapidly shifting towards electric vehicles, and the Honda E stands out as a beacon of innovation and style in this electrifying revolution. This isn’t just another electric car; it’s a statement, a commitment to a sustainable and exhilarating driving experience. Let’s delve into what makes the Honda e a compelling choice for those looking to embrace the future of motoring.
The model showcased is the Honda e:Ny1 Full Electric Advance, presented in the striking Aqua Topaz Metallic finish. This vehicle embodies Honda’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of electric vehicle technology. When considering the Honda e, understanding its economy and emissions figures is crucial. The power consumption is measured at 18.2 kWh per 100 km, with zero CO2 emissions during driving, aligning perfectly with the growing environmental consciousness of drivers. The electric range is a significant factor for any EV, and the Honda e:Ny1 boasts a combined range of 256 miles (WLTP standards). It’s important to note that this figure is based on standardized testing and real-world range can vary depending on several elements.
Factors influencing the actual electric range of your Honda e include the initial battery charge, any after-market accessories, weather conditions, driving habits, and the vehicle’s load. These are typical variables that affect the range of any electric vehicle, and being mindful of them can help drivers optimize their usage and plan journeys effectively.
Charging is a fundamental aspect of EV ownership. The Honda e:Ny1 is equipped with an 11kW three-phase AC on-board charger. For indicative charging times, a 10-100% charge can be achieved in approximately 6.3 hours using a 22kW AC charger and significantly faster, at around 1.7 hours, with a 50kW DC rapid charger, assuming optimal conditions like a temperature of about 25°C. While both 11kW and 22kW chargers are three-phase, the Honda e:Ny1‘s on-board charger capacity is capped at 11kW, meaning the charging time remains consistent between these two AC options.
It’s essential to recognize that actual charging times for your Honda e can fluctuate. Several factors play a role, including the age, type, charging capacity, condition, and temperature of both the charging unit and the vehicle’s battery. The maximum charging rate of both the vehicle and the charging point, the battery’s starting charge level, and environmental factors like ambient temperature and the voltage and current available at the charging point all contribute to the overall charging duration. Colder weather, for instance, may extend charging times, especially if the battery’s temperature safeguarding technology is activated. Remember, a vehicle can only charge at its maximum acceptance rate. Using a 22kW charge point won’t speed up charging if your Honda e‘s maximum is 11kW. Similarly, the charge point’s maximum rate can also be a limiting factor.
Terms and Conditions to Consider
For prospective buyers in the retail market, specific terms and conditions apply. New Honda e:Ny1 models ordered and financed through Honda Finance Europe within the promotional period (March 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025, and registered by June 30, 2025) are subject to availability of models and colors. These offers are available at participating retailers, excluding Channel Islands, and are subject to the promoter’s discretion and cannot be combined with other ongoing offers.
The On-the-Road (OTR) price for the Honda e may be adjusted due to unforeseen changes in tariffs, duties, taxes, or other supply chain costs.
Attractive Finance Options
Honda is offering a £5,000 deposit contribution for all new retail Honda e:Ny1 purchases made through Honda Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Honda Hire Purchase (HP) agreements.
Furthermore, a 0% APR representative Honda Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is available, with a maximum deposit of 35%. PCP agreements provide flexibility at the end of the term with options to retain, return, or renew the vehicle. Similarly, a 0% APR representative Honda Hire Purchase (HP) option is available, leading to outright ownership after the agreement term and option to purchase fee (if applicable) are settled.
Important Finance Disclaimers
