Heck, I rarely hear about the Honda e on here, which might be the most adorable and exciting EV on the market to me! Perhaps a simpler explanation is that this is a tech forum and not a car forum, and Tesla dominates mindshare in car “technology.”

The Honda-E is too small, has too short range and over priced. Maybe that's the reason.

  over priced. How much does the Honda-E cost in the US? Here in Sweden the Honda starts at almost $20k cheaper than the cheapest Tesla Model 3. If I ever end up needing a commuter car, the Honda-E looks perfect.

    Honda is not bringing the e to North America at all, so there isn't any pricing to compare. If they were I'd be camped outside a dealer to get the first one.

It's really annoying that smaller cars aren't sold in the US. There's always claims that there's no appetite for them, but how do the car companies actually know that if none are on sale and therefore there's no data? I just leased a Bolt, but likely would have opted for an id.3 if it were available to me. Or any number of other smaller cars.

I want one of these so badly. I know it's not really practical for an American to own outside of maybe 3 city centers across the country, but they look so freakin cool. Unfortunately, importing one will not be possible until they reach antique status and by then who knows what will be wrong with them considering how much tech is inside. Honda makes great cars, but I don't expect any car with so many new tech features (screen mirrors!) to be operating at 100% after 25 years. Also, by that time, I'm sure there will be other cool cars that have made it to the US market that fill a similar niche. I'm just annoyed they aren't available now!

  I'm seriously considering trading in my Model S for a Honda E for the sole reason that... it just looks so damn cool! I was so excited when I first saw one in the flesh.

I really want to buy a Honda ebut, the range is so underwhelming. A Zoe isn't that much bigger, but gets 400km. It would be out only car do I don't think I want to take the risk on something low range
