Since opening preorders in Japan on April 21, Kawasaka said the new EV has secured over 7,000 reservations in about a month

The Super-ONE is powered by the same 29.6 kWh battery as the N-ONE e, offering a WLTP driving range of up to 274 km (170 miles) with fast charging (up to 80%) capabilities in about 30 minutes.

After launching in Japan, the Super-One will go on sale in Europe, the UK, Australia, and other overseas markets shortly.

Haha good one. That government will block it from ever reaching its shores. It'll be a pleasant surprise if it happens though.

Too bad. I would love to move to a Hyundai Casper, personally.

30 kWh and 170 miles range?! That's >5 mi/kWh, I haven't seen anything run that well (consistently). Big if true for everyone - I'd buy one in an instant if Honda had a little more BEV chops, I'm still a bit skeptical of them.

My first EV was an eGolf with a 24 kWh battery. At its peak that was 100 mi range (was rated 80-something). Would have killed for this back then.

Some of the light small EVs definitely hit 5 mi/kWh

Small battery = less mass to carry = less energy required to move

Combined with modern motors and you get this kind of performance

Kinda like an analogous concept as the rocket equation, where adding range requires adding enough fuel to carry the weight of the additional fuel.

Super-One

🤦‍♂️

Curious to see if Mini reacts. Though I guess Mercedes didn't with the e. Maybe they'll call the next one golf.
