    I think they’re too afraid of something like that eating into their affordable ICE vehicles, which have waaaay more profit margins. In my view the Honda e was never meant to sell well. Its purpose is to work out the bugs and really dial in how to make a fantastic electric car. They’re going to keep fucking around until battery tech gets legitimately cheap. At that point they’ll go all in and release stuff like an affordable Honda-e with high range.

      That’s the same game that most legacy automakers are playing. I would set that none of them are really full in.

      Hope so. I’d like a smaller EV but can’t stand the look of Minis.
