Order books for the Honda e Advance are now open in dealerships across the UK, while order books for the Honda e will open in early 2020.

The first deliveries of the Honda e Advance will arrive in the UK from early summer next year.

Phil Webb, head of car at Honda UK, said: “We’re pleased to be able to confirm the pricing for the Honda e.

“Designed for the urban environment, and originally called the Urban EV, the Honda e has a competitive range of up to 136 miles.

“Honda research has found the average European commute is approximately 30 miles making it more than sufficient.

“Coupled with the fast charge capability of 80% in 30 minutes and the Honda e is perfect for the urban environment.

“Honda e is the embodiment of the brand’s commitment to electrification and is the next step towards our electric vision for 100% of European sales to be electrified by 2025.”
