NorthernZone:

Now that Honda e:n1 is about to arrive in NZ - at an apparently good price - how would you compare it with a BYD Extended range? BYD has their (better) Blade battery technology, but apart from that??

Have they said what Battery Tech they are using in the Honda? Is it LFP or NMC?

The motor is juiced by a 96-cell 68.8 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery

wellygary:

"The e:N1 will be sold in New Zealand in a single specification, priced from $52,000 plus on-road costs.

This sees the model undercut a range of other similarly sized EVs from other legacy carmakers, like the $55,520 Kia EV3, $69,990 Jeep Avenger, and $74,990 Volvo EX30. The e:N1’s pricing sits closer to Chinese opposition, namely the $51,990 BYD Atto 3 and $51,990 Geely EX5."

Charge speed seems very low. 40 mins for 30% to 80% - That is below a 1C rate.

Not like the leaf and not cooling it are they?

Shame, that's a deal killer for me.

I'd prefer a proven BYD over an unknown Honda EV any day. It will be Honda getting their pencils out first imo. I'm not expecting a big impact.

For someone already buying from Honda it will be an easy add.
