Back in the beginning: Reflections on the Honda e
Wrapping up, here are some final notes:
Range reality: The Honda e’s actual range sits around 150 km, holding up well even on slightly slower highways at 100 km/h.
Charging challenge: One early issue occurred when the Paiaristi charger stopped mid-session—a reminder that public charging still has room for improvement.
Cost savings: Covering 500 km in a typical gas car would cost around €55; with the Honda e, I kept it to just €14.10.
A huge thank you to Honda for letting me experience this unique EV. Without a doubt, the Honda e is one of my favorites among EVs available in Estonia today, and the small battery doesn’t bother me at all. For city driving, it’s incredibly agile, and I’d even say that with smaller battery packs, the cost per kilometer can sometimes be higher on the highway, but both city and highway rides are extremely economical.
For anyone looking for an EV that’s full of character and practicality, the Honda e could be the perfect fit, especially if you’re not in a constant rush to cover long distances. And who knows? When I eventually find myself living under the sun, this might just be the car I’ll choose to explore my new home with, buzzing around effortlessly with its distinctive style and compact appeal. The Honda e combines modern tech with a nostalgic charm, making it not just a car but an experience—one I’d be glad to repeat!
