Family is looking to get a new car (EV) within the next year or two. Been heavily waiting to see what Honda is going to come out with. I see the DC charging is slower at 155 kw. Range doesn’t look too bad. What are others thoughts on pricing & specs?
the longer you wait the better a price and performance deal you will get.. competition is getting fierce and demand is whiffing so far.
Seems like a pretty fair deal to me. I currently drive a car with slightly less range and max 100 kw fast charging and I honestly don't really need more than that. Sure, for long trips you'll need to stop a bit more frequently and wait a bit longer, but I like leaving my chair and taking a break from driving after two hours. And I rarely go for long trips where I'd need to fast charge at all. If that's you, I think this car would be a good fit.
Thank you for that insight, Strider! It will primarily be a commuter car into work and on rare occasions a longer trip for vacations. I do like to factor in the stopping, stretching, break, etc. so I will keep that in mind for the longer trips. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
