Cameras, range, and the lighting display are just a few of the things that get compared between all companies EV gens. What does the Honda E offer?

It offers a list of new features. Firstly, the Prototype has eight cameras installed on it. If no changes are made before the real deal gets launched, the cameras are places as follows;

Front Cameras

– There are two in front of the car. One just above the front grille and illuminating Honda badge. The other front cam is placed just above the front windscreen said to be used as a sensor as well.

  • Side-view Mirrors – Both side-view mirrors have been fitted with the two cameras each. Actually replacing the mirrors altogether. One a 360-degree view and the other for the niggling blindspot. It fully replaces the need to have a mirror on either end, as both display sits on the dashboard.
  • Rear Cams – Another two for the rear end. One again placed aloft the Honda emblem. The other is situated at the top of the back window and under the horizontal stoplight.

    • The special function of the rearview mirror is the real kicker. It’s connected to the one cam placed on the back windscreen. A flick of the switch and the rear-view mirror turns into a full LCD display.

    Talking LCD, the Honda e is fitted with six LCD displays in the dashboard. Other add ons, a USB port, HDMI, a 230V output for charging and something that looks like a fast charger for the car itself.
