> People don't buy ICE cars based purely on MPG Because range typically isn't a problem with ICE cars. I really like the Honda e. It looks good and has good features: [VIDEO] But its number one problem is lack of range. Solid-state batteries with better energy density will solve that problem, but those batteries aren't here yet.

It's great to see it looking so close to the concept car that was seen not that long ago - it's a great mixture of retro and future Honda, and it's also great to see Honda going for a full electric drivetrain as well as such a great design. Fully Charged got 19 minutes in one, and the video [1] is worth a watch - you can see how quickly it accelerates when he floors it, and he was really impressed with the car, the turning circle and the camera mirrors. I think the bottom line is that most electric cars will be a blast to drive - I'd love to have one as a rally car on single venue airfield-type events in the UK, if I was still competing; it'd be incredible in the forests too, but not sure range would make it possible for anything substantial, alas.

There's a new Honda 'e', that doesn't have side mirrors at all, and just has two screens inside. [VIDEO]
