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
IMO they need to release an updated Element as an EV.
Given how distinctive it is and the short run it’s having, I reckon these will end up as collector’s items.
Good point. If I were a car collector, I would definitely keep an eye open for one to add to the collection. Even as a non-collector, every time I see the interior photos I think, “wow, what a great little car.”
It was a rich persons second car.
Even used it is still insanely expensive to justify going for one no matter how cool it is.
I almost bough one…
Stay away from unsuccessful EVs if you want to keep it going long term. The dealerships won’t know how to service them and spare parts become hard to get and expensive.
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.
I just want them to release the Honda sports EV:

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
Not to worry- China will quickly supply what people want and the Japanese will disappear. And that would be a tragedy.
Cool car, but good as a second car - and I‘m not gonna spend 39k on that when there‘s a used i3 for 15k
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.
If the major manufacturers don’t step up their EV game they are going to get Kodak’d, and they are going to deserve it.
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.
Honda does not care about electric cars for some reason. I think if they took it seriously and not just making a car for compliance reasons they could do well. The car does not look bad. Just needed longer range and lower price. Lol
