It's the most desirable Honda since the original NSX-and it doesn't burn any gas

摘要

I've just driven one of the most desirable Hondas since the original NSX, the supercar that shamed Ferrari. Like the NSX, it's rear drive and rolls on a staggered tire setup. Similarly, its well-resolved chassis and powertrain make you smile every time you slide behind the wheel. It shows modern Hondas don't all have to be worthy-but-dull appliances. And it does all this without burning a drop of gas. The Honda e is not Honda's first electric vehicle - the company has been working on BEV technology since the late 1980s, and has released several production battery electric vehicles, including the EV Plus, a handful of which were made available on a lease-only basis in the US in the late 1990s. But Honda has never truly embraced the BEV, preferring instead to spend precious R&D time and money on fuel cell powertrains that combine the zero tailpipe emissions of an electric motor with the refueling speed of a gasoline engine.
