Honda Honda e electric lease
Best known in Europe for the hugely dependable Civic and Jazz models, as well as the raw performance of the Civic Type R, Honda has dipped its toe into the all-electric world with just a single model, so far... The Honda e is a quirky and distinctive city car which is finding a small but growing niche of fans here in the UK.

Honda E
Beyond its aesthetics, the Honda e offers impressive performance with a responsive electric powertrain that delivers instant torque and smooth acceleration, making city driving a breeze. It's compact size and agile handling further enhance manoeuvrability in urban environments. Additionally, the Honda e boasts advanced technology features, including a cutting-edge infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch touchscreens and a suite of driver-assistance features for enhanced safety and convenience.
About the Honda e
The Honda e is one of the most charming electric vehicles available on the market. Its short wheelbase, friendly front-end and tech-filled interior make the hatchback a joy to own.
But don't think its cutesy design comes with any sort of compromises. The Honda-e is an incredibly capable EV. The sleek compact design is helped stay streamline by the replacement of traditional wing mirrors with rear-facing cameras. Inside, the entire dashboard is filled with screens - the outer edges feeding a constant livestream from the aforementioned 'mirrors'. It's bristling with tech and great design choices.
Above all though, the Honda e is just a very nice car to drive. As expected from the Japanese automaker, the Honda is incredibly refined, comfortable over bumps and puts a smile on the driver's face.
This is made all the more impressive considering this is Honda's entry point into the Western electric vehicle market. It's the ultimate city car and we're hard-pressed to find a direct competitor.
Charging the Honda e
The Honda e is offered with one battery size: a 36kWh power pack.
In the ultimate city car, an official WLTP range of 138 miles is more than enough for the Honda e to take you on an urban adventure and get you home. Although at DriveElectric we emphasise a 'real world' range for all of our leases, the Honda e will realistically go around 105 miles before needing a top-up.
Thankfully the Honda e is incredibly quick and easy to fill up. Utilising the European standard Type 2 and CCS connectors, charging from flat-to-full using a standard 7kWh wall-box charger takes around 5 hours 15 minutes.
Find a 100kW rapid charger however, and the Honda e's battery will charge from 10-80% in just over 35 minutes.
Honda's future electric plans: e:Ny1
Revealed in March 2022, the e:Ny1 prototype has been confirmed for production sometime in 2023, this promises to offer the carmaker a broader appeal model in Europe, thanks to its ever-popular compact SUV proportions. However, Honda has yet to announce all-electric versions of the Jazz or Civic, instead continuing with hybrid petrol/electric powertrains for the foreseeable future. Opportunity missed.
The Japanese company has confirmed plans to remove the sale of all internal combustion engine cars by 2040.
