Honda has used the tiny N360 hatch of the 1960s as inspiration for its cute EV-N concept, due at next month’s Tokyo show.
Honda is no stranger to EVs. It had the electric EV Plus on the road back in 1997, but this EV-N is something different.
Barely longer than a Smart Fortwo, the four-seat EV-N concept has a lithium ion battery pack, a step up from the metal hydride cells in the CR-Z.
Officially the EV-N is simply “one of many” possible proposals for a future Honda electric city car.
Also new is the HELLO (Honda Electric Mobility Loop) communications system for car-to-car interaction. Its handheld console can also tell you how much battery charge the car has left and how much longer your parking is good for.
