honda eny1 deal - feb 2024 end

[essayer]

It’s not great. 3.1m/kWh on a mix of 60/70 cross country A roads. Maybe 3.5 on the motorway around 65? Honda definitely need to add a heat pump on the mk2

[Audimercorbm]

Yep only getting 2.5-3.2 kwh
On my old ioniq my average over the year and 30k miles was 5.4
Same journeys but it gets nowhere close

[essayer]

To be fair nothing gets close to an Ioniq

[lvfs2]

I’ve only done 220 miles so far but am only getting 2.6. I charged it last night and 100% is showing 212 miles. Am hoping for an improvement soon. Going to the in-laws today which is 126 mile round trip, nearly all on dual carriageway or motorway so will see how that fares.

Picked up mine yesterday- Needed to be driven from Ipswich so haggled, complained and I got some mats supplied. I think the car is ok- it's not really anything special and if I paid the list price I would imagine I would be disappointed. Fit and finish seems ok and better than my Model Y I had previously but it should really have soft touch plastics on the top of the dash and less piano Black "Scratchable plastics". It does also seems to be ride slightly better at slower speeds- Maybe the weight saving might have something to do with it over the Model Y?

I've found efficiency to be ok and as expected- 3.8miles/kWh from Cambridge to Oxford- Mixed roads and speeds albeit with little use of the AC. The lack of a heat pump is a mistake from Honda as is the regen setup. Only in Sport mode can you permanently fix the regen to maximum and that's not enough for one foot driving.

Telematics not setup due to the service centre closed but I did manage a charge using the not as easy as you think "Non-charging schedule".

Anyone else finding the range a little disappointing?

I'm getting 1.7-2.6kwh regardless of road type or driving style. I'm using the regen on setting three and coasting to stop rather than using the break.

Any suggestions?

Same here. I’m driving in eco, air con and climate control off. I don’t think I could drive any more efficiently.

Are you constantly driving up-hill?

[Fergoo]

We've averaged 2.9m/kWh on the first 500 miles, mainly in Eco and with the AC off. The first part of any journey seems to be really poor and in the 1.x range, but I assume that's due to the batteries being cold. The range then slowly increases.

We try to use the regen as much as possible by pulling the left paddle ahead of using the brakes, but I really miss being able to coast up to a junction like I can with my Cupra, which uses the sat nav to control the level of regen.

In the Honda if your foot is on the throttle, then you're using power, if it's not then it's in some form of regen and then you're trying to find the throttle position which is doing neither.

Whilst I know some people prefer one pedal driving, I've personally found coasting is key to maximising range as there will always be power loss when regenerating.

Anyone else car ignoring the charging schedule
I have the non charge starting at 5 am and ending at 12.10 am but it seems to charge whenever it's plugged in

[Jonni2bad]

Is it actually necessary to set a "non-charge" schedule in the car?

I've left mine untouched so that there's no time it can't be charged - surely this is only relevant to those who charge at home and don't have any control of the charger, or am I missing something?

Our wallbox charger app lets me schedule to match cheap hours. Don't fancy touching the car settings in case it causes any conflict...

I'm driving mine like I drove my old car and the efficiency is terrible. I think I got 2.2m/kWh last night driving from Sheffield to Nottingham.

If your wallbox charger is working fine then no it's not necessary. I've reverted to using the none charging schedule as I was having 12v issues using the schedule on the wallbox.

The car clearly wasn't going to 'sleep' after charging and I was greeted with a whole heap of errors and struggled disconnecting the charging cable. Put the charger back to plug and charge mode and scheduled on the car, and no more errors

Doesn't affect anyone here, but just saw a news item that Honda had chopped £5000 off the list price of both models.

Yeah bit weird, the configurator shows £45/£48k but the home pages states from £39995, obviously in the process of updating the site. I guess it makes sense to keep it under the luxury car tax bracket for next year, rather than £5k + discount off list. I still don’t think they will shift with only £5k off, they are a £30k car not £40k.

One of the dealers I spoke to during the back and forth on the PCP deal said they're expensive because they're Japanese engineered, they're not like the cheap Chinese EVs ! I wouldn't mind, but the dealer also has the MG franchise - I suppose they tell people they're quality British heritage!

Picked mine up today from Wolverhampton and got 3.1 miles per kWh on a trip home down the m5 to Wiltshire, quite happy with that and indicates around 180 miles on a motorway run.

First time I’ve driven one and it’s perfectly acceptable.

I had an egolf up until 2 years ago and it’s definitely better than that was from a comfort and drivability point of view.

I might have a parrot flying around my head if I have missed something here, but the e:Ny1 is made by a Chinese company Dumfong or something.

Yep - hence he carefully said "Japanese engineered" and my "!".

Correct..foreign manufacturers are not allowed to manufacture cars themselves in China, they have to do it via partnering with a Chinese OEM. Looks at all the foreign manufacturers in China, they have had to set up joint ventures with Chinese companies.

In this case Honda joint venture is with Dongfeng

Completely agree, they are still overpriced at £40k.

For that price you can get European or Korean equivalents which are just better in pretty much every way.
