2020 Honda e reservations now open

MANILA: We have been seeing the 2020 Honda e from some time now. It all started off with the renders, then came the Urban EV Concept, and we finally saw the prototype recently at the Geneva Motor Show in March, earlier this year. First called the Honda Urban EV, the electric vehicle by the Japanese automaker now has a name, i.e., “e”.

There hasn’t been any shortage of interest shown in the car by the population around the globe. However, Honda has taken its own sweet time in starting the reservation process. With no official statement made on the price of the EV, speculations are being made that the 2020 Honda e may cost between £ 25,000 (Php 1.67 million) to £ 30,000 (Php 2 million).

The 2020 Honda e is expected to come with a range of 200 km, rear-wheel-drive, and a battery pack by Panasonic that can be charged up to 80 % in no more than 30 minutes using the fast charge technology. Moreover, Honda is offering the EV in five colors which include Charge Yellow, Modern Steel Metallic, Platinum White Metallic, Crystal Blue Metallic, and Crystal Black Pearl.

For now, Honda is accepting reservations in the UK, Norway, Germany, and France regions only. Customers can pay a modest amount of £ 800 (roughly Php 53,400) to book a unit for themselves. In case the customer changes his/her mind, the amount can be refunded in the future. We’d say that the “e” is a good first step by Honda towards reaching the goal of 100 % electrification of its vehicles by 2025.
