El Frankfurt Motor Show has just opened its press day. Among all the barrage of novelties appears the Honda and, the new electric car from the Japanese firm. We already knew almost all the important information about this model, but it was not until today that its price was revealed.
After the worldwide success of the prototype that anticipated the final model, and the good reception of the production version, the car company revealed a few minutes ago that the starting price for this Honda e is 34.800 euros before taxes in its most accessible version with 136 hp.
Furthermore, the advanced version, which offers greater equipment and a final power of 154 CV, has also been confirmed. Your fee is $37.800, also before adding administration taxes. This is a fairly high price for a car of such dimensions and with a autonomy that timidly exceeds 200 kilometers.
However, it should be noted that the main reason why electric vehicles are considerably more expensive than their traditionally powered counterparts is the cost of your batteries, development and raw material to create them, as well as the improvement of electric thrusters.
Meanwhile, the First deliveries will take place in the UK, Germany, France and Norway, where orders can already be placed and whose customers will start receiving their vehicles at the beginning of next summer. For the rest of the European markets, the order list will open in the coming weeks, so (we understand) deliveries will begin during the coming summer.
The Asian firm affirms that the new Honda e is the first step towardsElectric vision of the brand", whose objective is based on 100% of car sales in Europe having electrified technologies in 2025. You already know that some time ago they confirmed that they would stop working with diesel engines.
