Since opening preorders in Japan on April 21, Kawasaka said the new EV has secured over 7,000 reservations in about a month

The Super-ONE is powered by the same 29.6 kWh battery as the N-ONE e, offering a WLTP driving range of up to 274 km (170 miles) with fast charging (up to 80%) capabilities in about 30 minutes.

After launching in Japan, the Super-One will go on sale in Europe, the UK, Australia, and other overseas markets shortly.

    Haha good one. That government will block it from ever reaching its shores. It'll be a pleasant surprise if it happens though.

    30 kWh and 170 miles range?! That's >5 mi/kWh, I haven't seen anything run that well (consistently). Big if true for everyone - I'd buy one in an instant if Honda had a little more BEV chops, I'm still a bit skeptical of them.

    My first EV was an eGolf with a 24 kWh battery. At its peak that was 100 mi range (was rated 80-something). Would have killed for this back then.
