Real range of Honda e: 189 km at 90 km / h, 121 km at 120 km / h. So so [video]

Youtuber Bjorn Nyland tested Honda's e-vehicle range, Honda's city electrician. The car is equipped with a battery with a capacity of ~ 32,5 (35,5) kWh, promises up to 220 WLTP units and based on this we can conclude that the numbers will not be too crazy, and compared to competitors from Segment B - just weak.

Honda e – 90 km/h and 120 km/h driving test

Let's start with a small introduction, or rather a response to comments like “This is a city car, the range does not have to be big!” This is a fair moment. However, in Poland, a large number of people live in apartment buildings, they may like such a car, but if they try to charge once a week while shopping, they may run out of kilometers per week.

In addition, lower battery capacity means faster cell degradation. Elements wear out in the course of their work (charge-discharge). The smaller the battery, the higher the charging frequency. The more often charging occurs, the greater the number of working cycles for one and the same unit of time. The more the number of cycles, the faster the elements wear out.

After these explanations, let's move on to Bjorn Nyland's test.

Flight range at 90 km / h = 189 km

Having traveled 177 kilometers (the meter was slightly underestimated: 175,9 km) with a cruise control speed of 92 km / h, which corresponded to the real 90 km / h, the car showed. energy consumption 15,1 kWh / 100 km (151 Wh / km, odometer too high) and 6 percent battery. It means that With fully charged batteries, the Honda e has a range of 189 kilometers..

From the manufacturer's declaration - 204 WLTP units for 17 "drives and 220 units for 16" drives - The range can be calculated for 174 and 188 kilometers, respectively. Nyland used the car with 17-inch rims, so the car performs slightly better than the WLTP ratings. On the other hand, the weather was optimal for driving, which is why Nyland says that many cars can achieve more than the WLTP procedure suggests.

Honda e didn't.

The Norwegian also calculated that the usable capacity of the Honda battery in this experiment was only 28,6 kWh.

> Total battery capacity and usable battery capacity - what is it about? [WE WILL ANSWER]

Flight range at 120 km / h = 121 km

When driving at a speed of 120 km / h (cruise control is set to 123), energy consumption was 22,5 kWh / 100 km. (225 Wh / km; the meter showed 22,7 kWh / 100 km), which means that with a full battery it could be overcome to 121 km... At the same time, 5 percent less energy was spent on driving the car, the rest is probably due to heat loss and the operation of the cooling system.

Note from the editors of www.elektrowoz.pl: after the intro, which contained a bucket of cold water, something else needs to be added. The range of the car may not be the best, but if we wanted the car to stand out on the street and for everyone to notice the address written on it with the image of the oxen, www.electrowoz.pl, we would choose the Honda e. The Innogy Go graced the BMW i3, the rest of the electrics blend into the crowd, and the Honda e really grabs the spotlight.

Well, maybe Tesla works the same way too ...
