The grand concept of the N-ONE e: is "e: Daily Partner," and the car was designed to be a "daily partner" that brings vitality and energy to everyday life. It inherits Honda's
　"M.M (Man Maximum/Mecha Minimum) philosophy *1 , the fundamental philosophy behind Honda packaging, from the N360, the origin of Honda passenger cars. This light passenger EV aims to become a standard EV that will be supported by a wide range of customers by delivering the powerful, clean driving and quietness that only an EV can provide, as well as a cruising range of 295km *2 that brings peace of mind to everyday use. As a "daily partner" that supports customers' mobility and lifestyles and makes everyday life more vibrant and active, the car pursues simplicity that blends seamlessly into everyday life, and is equipped with convenient and useful features unique to EVs, such as a power supply function and V2H (Vehicle to Home) *3 .

Main features of N-ONE e:
Packaging
　The N-ONE's hallmarks of spaciousness and ease of use have been passed down to the EV N-ONE e:. The slimmer under-floor battery ensures comfortable riding space for four adults. Furthermore, the dive-down mechanism allows the rear seats to be folded down to create a flat floor that continues from the luggage compartment, while the tip-up mechanism allows the seats to be flipped up to accommodate tall items. This versatile seating arrangement offers the same level of convenience as the N-ONE.
　To achieve a layout that allows for a more natural driving posture, the steering wheel has been moved 37mm closer to the driver while maintaining the same riding position as the N-ONE, resulting in even more stable steering and acceleration. Furthermore, the innovative shape of the front hood improves visibility from the driver's seat, making it easier to gauge the distance from the vehicle in front and facilitating maneuvering around town.
　In addition, while EVs generally tend to be designed with a higher vehicle height due to constraints on battery placement, the overall height of the N-ONE e: is the same as the N-ONE, and is lower for a light height wagon, allowing it to be parked in many multi-story parking garages *4 and contributing to improved electricity efficiency with less air resistance while driving. Furthermore, like the N-VAN e:, the charging port is located in the front grille, allowing for smooth entry and exit even while charging.

Power unit
　By adopting a compact electric powertrain, a high-capacity, slim battery, and efficiently integrating high-voltage components such as the motor and control devices, the car combines a spacious interior with ample driving range for everyday use.
　To ensure peace of mind in everyday life, the car boasts a driving range of 295 km in WLTC mode. Charging times are approximately 4.5 hours for standard charging *6 and approximately 30 minutes for rapid charging *7 , reducing stress during standby time. In addition, the battery cooling and heating system ensures stable driving range and charging time, even in summer and winter. Furthermore, by using the Honda Power Supply Connector *8
　, an AC external power output device, output of up to 1,500W is possible. In addition to being useful for outdoor activities and other outings, charging at night during cheaper hours and using it at home via a V2H device during the day contributes to saving on electricity bills. It can also be used as a household power source in emergencies, providing peace of mind.
