JAKARTA - The Honda e: N1 electric car has already been sold in Thailand, which was previously only a rental system with a production car at Honda Rojana. In Indonesia this model can be used as a rental system.

From VOI's observation on the official website of Honda Thailand, Monday, March 24, it was stated that the electric car was priced at 1,199,000 baht or around Rp. 584 million. But not production from Thailand, but a complete export from China from the Dongfeng Honda factory.

There is no change from the technical side for the Thai market with this retail system. The Honda e:N1 electric car still packs electric motors with 204 PS power and the torsion reaches 310 Nm.

Honda pinned a battery with a capacity of 68.8 kWh which made this electric car offer a distance of 500 km of NEDC count, in one full battery charge. A figure that is quite far.

Meanwhile, this electric car comes with three driving modes ranging from Eco, Normal, and Sport which allows users to adjust their needs, especially for acceleration.

The car's cabinet is also very modern, which is equipped with a 15.6-inch head unit, 10.24-inch instrument panels, wireless chargers, electronic gear selectors. However, for models sold without a panoramic roof.

Rental system in Indonesia

This Japanese brand provides the 'Honda Electrified Experience' package for e:N1 ownership with a subscription fee of IDR 22 million/month for 5 years with full ownership options. The company also has its own reasons for deciding this.

Sales and Marketing & Aftersales Director of PT HPM, Yusak Billy said that his party had conducted an in-depth study so that they decided to offer a rental system for this model, one of which was about the resale value.

So there are some people who don't want the BEV because the resale value concerns can go down. Moreover, what we learned, the resale value EV could go down to 40 percent," Billy said some time ago.
