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.

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.

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

Combined with modern motors and you get this kind of performance

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.

BYD should get in this hot hatch business and make a sporty version of one of their small models

I just did an informal poll at my workplace and nobody is terribly interested in hot cakes.
