I agree with most that this car looks fantastic. 200km range (so ~100km in winter) is about the minimum I could accept, I could be interested depending on  pricing.

Most cars members in this forum like are usually niche market or slow sellers....so it does not bold well for this Honda....like I said, I think it would be a sales disaster since it is way too weird for the North American customers’ taste.

I'm thinking if it's priced appropriately, they'll sell a ton of these.

Canadian in particular like small cars.  And Honda has a loyal following in both countries.

It might be too weird for rural US. But not for Urban US. Which is where it will be used.

agreed...it seems like it's made to be an urban runabout first and foremost...they aren't trying to compete with the top range units, which also quite expensive.

Must be why Quebecers bought more F150s than the combined sales of all cars!! LOL

F-150 is the most popular vehicle in North America.  Period.  Quebec probably isn't terribly different in that regard.

But as far as EVs go...in Canada...Quebec is king. 50% of all EVs sold are bought in QC.  As pointed out...they ALSO like small cars.  So this should sell well there.

Thought you'd know this....but I'm not surprised...

I'm genuinely surprised at the level of attention to details as well as tech inside the cabin. Well done, Honda.

Except for the knee activated seat heaters :)
Looks like a winner for Honda.

if Honda gets pricing right you won't be able to change lanes in the lower mainland of BC without almost clipping one of these.

I'd be really interested in one of these for the right price. My typical trips are well within the range limits.
