"We have no plans to release Honda e. Because Honda e is for the introduction of Honda e-technology, which proves that Honda has an electrification vehicle," said Yusak Billy, as Sales & Marketing Director and Business Innovation of PT HPM as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 30.

The electric hatchback is equipped with an electric motor that can generate 151 dk of power and 315 Nm of torque. Interestingly, the hatchback collaborates with the rear wheel drive system.

This allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/hour in just 8.3 seconds in sports mode, while in normal mode it only takes 8.6 seconds.

In addition to impressive performance, Honda e is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 35.5 kWh which makes the car run up to 220 km in a fully charged state.
