Meet the N-One E: Honda’s New Mini Marvel
Honda has finally unveiled its first electric kei car, the N-One E, and it’s quite the petite powerhouse! Premiering at a price that won’t break the bank—just over $18,000—this little gem shakes up the EV market. It’s rare these days to find any vehicle—let alone an all-electric one—at such a price point, especially with the average car price hovering near ,000 in the U.S. But leave it to Honda to squeeze into the under $20K bracket where giants fear to tread.
Class-Leading Range: Not Just Small Talk
Don’t let the size fool you; Honda’s got range. Thanks to a super-efficient 29.6 kWh battery, the N-One E boasts an impressive range of up to 295 km (183 miles). That makes it a frontrunner against rivals like the Nissan Sakura, which brings only 180 km (112 miles) to the electric party. Perfect for bustling daily commutes in Japan, the N-One E proves that practical doesn’t have to mean poky!
Space-Saving Design: All About the Interior
Honda faced the challenging task of maximizing interior space while keeping the compact aesthetic. The clever design features a thinner battery pack that lies flat under the floor, allowing for unexpected roominess inside. So, whether you’re hauling groceries or picking up friends, the N-One E won’t leave you feeling cramped. With mini EVs contributing to 40% of new car sales in Japan, Honda is betting on this new electric offering being a major hit.
As competitors gear up for a mini EV showdown, Honda is securely in the driver’s seat with the N-One E. So buckle up—this little electric car is just getting started!
