has an EPA range of 149 miles

We have those already, they don't sell well.

starts at $32,500

Jesus, we are talking just shy of Model 3 prices here. Yeah, this thing isn't going to sell.

built in Italy

It doesn't even qualify for full subsidies. This thing is practically DOA.

Same dude. That dashboard is so cool. I love everything about the Honda E.

[–] dtrain@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

And the 37,000 pounds price point?

[–] jesterkun@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yes. I don't go anywhere that far away.

No idea if it's actually a good car, but it looks just the right amount of futuristic.

[–] Diasl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

There's one I see often driving around in my area and I really enjoy seeing it every time!

[–] fpslem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I do too, but it's still too expensive at €36,000.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The range is abysmal. Especially for the price.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

This is entirely its reputation in Europe too; probably why they're trying to shift them elsewhere

There are far better value options here than the 500

They do come in nice colours though

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Range anxiety is a major reason why EVs are so heavy and expensive. But 149 miles (240 km) is more than enough for many people's daily commute, especially if they're able to charge every day.

EVs with this range should exist. They should just be cheaper. There's just not enough competition at the low end right now.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh, for a commuter car in the city, the range is fine... just not for the price. When you can get a bigger car with longer range for cheaper, I think I know my choice. And if it were luxurious, that would be a different matter; but this isn't.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

No. No it’s not. I had the previous 500e. After you turn the air conditioner on, you lose range. After you add a passenger, you lose range. It barely got through a day’s driving. It’s a half-hearted effort and it will flop.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah I want a 600

Honest Officer, Nobody Did Anything.

[–] HooPhuckenKarez@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Had one, never did again?

[–] Kingofthezyx@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I always heard Fix Or Repair Daily

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Fix it again Tony.

[–] fitjazz@lemmyf.uk 4 points 2 years ago

Fix It All the Time

Unlikely if they're under the age of 30 or don't need to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino. No Google.

Yeah, I haven't been in either of those groups for a while
