Because Tesla are setting the price. With this vehicle Honda are offering a much worse car for more money.

Charge point - I've had a lot of EVs now over the last 10 years and actually find the front port to be the easiest to use in my experience

In theory, easier to get into, but harder to get out of. Some of the Tesla super chargers around me are pull through for towing. It is a huge time saver to not need to unhook a trailer which you would need to do with either pull up or back in charging. I also prefer how Tesla hides the charge port under the tail light segment. Just looks clean.

My husband and I both love Honda but I reluctantly left when I switched to an EV 4 years ago (as they didn’t have an EV/practical EV offering). My husband will be moving from his Honda to an EV too next year and we are disappointed to see that Honda STILL haven’t delivered an EV in a mid-range price bracket. Not only that, this new offering is yet another EV SUV style. If they electrified the Jazz, Civic or designed a purpose-built smart looking non-SUV style medium sized car in a competitive price bracket then we’d both be straight back to Honda. Their ICE engineering and reliability is fantastic as is the customer service at the dealerships, but it feels Honda have still not committed to putting in the R&D needed to convincingly break into the EV market 😢.

I'm sure brand loyalty will get them some sales and you would think the reputation for reliability may account for a few more. The problem with the reliability aspect is that EV's tend to be a lot more reliable anyway, because there is so much less that can go wrong. I think this will count against them where reliability is concerned in the short term and where brand loyalty is concerned in the longer term, because much of that brand loyalty also stems from reliability. I currently have a Kona Electric, which is cheaper and in some respects better. There are quite a few cars that I am considering for when I replace and this is not going to be anywhere near the list.

Charging port location: I have grown accustomed to having a right rear charging port on our VW Buzz. A month before the car arrived we had a charger installed knowing this port location. For over 30 years we have fronted into a carport, and through force of habit wanted to continue this. For most people, some port locations are more appropriate than others. The worst for us, would have been a left rear port. Our charger location actually serves a right front or centre front location optimally, because the charger was placed at the right front of the vehicle when it is parked. A left front position would have been equally good for us.

@iambenmitchell 11 ай бұрын
Left front and right rear are the worst possible locations. Tesla have the cheapest public chargers, they’re reliable etc. But if your charge port is at the front left or rear right, you’ll take up 2 or 3 stalls to charge 1 car

@@iambenmitchell Thx for your comment, because it is difficult for me to realize that people regularly use or are dependent on Superchargers. My mind says they are useful on longer trips, but nothing more. In three days it will be 9 months since we took delivery of Buzz. We have still not used a Supercharger or equivalent. In fact, we have only once charged anywhere except our house, at a hotel which provided an ordinary 10A socket that used about 15 hours to charge Buzz.

You mentioned you was only getting 190 miles. You have missed a fundamental fact you only get 256 miles on a 100% charge. But as we know recommend charge is 80% to prolong the life and battery performance. Secondly you was very critical of the car. Again a person picks a electric car that is practical for there needs. So if the Honda eny1 is practically for that person then it's the perfect car for them. I wish some car review people take a little more thought in there presentation. It's like comparing 100k Nissan GTR to a 300k Ferrari. You can't compare them totally different criteria.

Swarco are topical of this where the cable is too short for the second bay so you end up moving, unless a Audi moves in a lighting speed and jumps the cue!! Al these excuses car manufactures make about charging ports at the front is nonsense, because you have so much tech these days to avoid front end bumps, or are they saying there collision tech is not up to the task? When you siad £47k car, I switch off and moved no!!

It costs way too much for what it offers, a big SUV outside and in the rear seats maybe, but poor trunk and at that price tag 256 miles of ideal range, which translates easily to 180 or less in winter? More than enough for daily driving but with such a big car you want to travel from time to time. And 78KW of maximum charging power?? That's ridiculous. If I had to buy a big family car, with that money I'll get a Tesla S/Y or a Hyunday Ioniq 5, or one of the wonderful Polestar EX30.

@@oldpopmike Yeah I don't think they can please everyone. Maybe they should fit one at the back and one at the front. Audi put two change ports on the original e-tron so it can be done.

The e:Ny1 is actually a joint venture with Dongfeng a Chinese-government owned car manufacturer, known for making “copy-cat” cars or dupes.

Uk dealers are giving 8,000 + 1,500 reduction at the moment - so that puts it down from £47k to £37.5k. Why can't they just start at that price?

I’ve been a Honda fan for years, but I wouldn’t touch this. For this money I’d be eyeing an Ioniq 5 or EV6. For a car of this size the Kona or Niro are far more practical (the Kona has a 466 litre boot, much bigger than this) and both have more range. At this price people are right to compare it to the Model Y, for me the insurance was so much more expensive on a Tesla…) I don’t think we will see all too many of these on the road…

Honda and Mass Market don't really go together, but Honda and Special Interest Group do. They lost their way about 15 years ago.

They will have to reduce the price at least 25-30% in order to sell it in any meaningful quantities. Simple as that.

Regen on most EV's is pretty mild with a battery that is 90% or more charged. It relies on being able the put all that regenerated power into the battery, which it can't do if the battery is almost fully charged.

May be when the battery is 99 or 100% charged but at 90% you should get noticeable re-gen for sure. I have been an EV driver for 7 years now and driven numerous EVs, if the battery is not full or "almost" not full, you will get re-gen.

Some EV like the Korean E-GMP simulate the re-gen even at 100% SOC with brakes so the driving/braking feel is almost exactly the same regardless of the battery % SOC.

Great points. Suppose the excess energy could be burnt off like is is with truck Ebrakes, by effectively shorting out a generator on the propshaft! I can't claim to have owned multiple EV's but have a quite good understanding of the electronics involved. I currently own a Vivaro e Life van and the regen is quite mild, probably this compounded by the weight of the vehicle. In my case the regen effectiveness loosely follows the charge curve. I feel there is definitely a difference for instance, between a 20% state of charge and a 90% state of charge!

Yep it's a bit meh. Very expensive for what is an average EV. The Chinese models are going to blow Honda, Toyota, VW out of the water unless they can find ways to bring their costs and prices down. Front charge ports do save the hassle of working out how to position your car at a charge point. Some cables are not very long and I worry about the stress on the charge port of a heavy cable pulling on it - especially if your only option it to stretch it along the back or side of the car.

I really like that color, though I prefer their 2002 Civic Si blue. It always strikes me as silly, unless one is veggie or vegan, to eschew real leather. The cows weren’t killed for their skins, after all. Is it better to use material that would otherwise be wasted, or to reject that same material and let it rot in a dump? Buying cow leather doesn’t lead to fewer dead cows, it just leads to more waste. And whatever processes are used to create synthetic substitutes are unlikely to foreground humanity’s best either.
