Honda is no stranger to the world of EVs and today they are back with something new. Honda’s Electric “E Prototype” is a direct successor of Honda’s 2017 Honda Urban EV concept, refined and now considered road-legal. The vehicle features a simple, streamlined body that comes in all white. Contrasting black inserts are found on the headlamps and rear brake lights. The car is host to illuminated badges, a multi-screen console, while a digital cluster and pop-out door handles give off a futuristic approach. The ride features the LiDAR system while adding a woodgrain trim found on the dash and center console. Charging is easy and effortless thanks to a charging port at the hood, incorporating an LED display that offers a look at the battery’s percentage level. The E Prototype is rumored to have a range of 125 miles with an 80% charge time of just 30 minutes. Take a look at the new E Prototype from Honda in the images below and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Head over to Honda to find out more.

The Sports EV Concept was shown at the 2017 Tokyo show, and previewed a striking two-seat, rear-wheel-drive sports car with styling based closely on the Urban EV Concept that previewed the e prototype. It was intended as a vision of a flagship performance EV from the firm that would sit alongside the Honda Civic Type R and NSX. The production car that is developed from the e prototype will be built on a new platform designed for A- and B-segment electric cars, and e prototype project manager Kohei Hitomi confirmed it would be used as the basis for a range of machines. It is likely that the firm would push to style those cars in a similar retro manner to the e prototype to create an EV family, although more traditionally styled cars are also likely. Speaking about the platform, Hitomi said: “The fundamental technology is there and our colleagues in the design department are thinking in many directions.” Asked if the platform would suit a car like the Sports EV, he said: “It can be any car. It can be a sporty car or a box-type car. Personally, I’d very much welcome a sporty car on that platform.” [© autocar.co.uk] + https://insideevs.com/honda-trademarks-honda-e-for-possible-electric-car/ Honda Trademarks “Honda e” For Possible Electric Car Brand FEB 15 2019 How about “Honda e Civic”?
