I'm been hearing about all sorts of electric vehicles that will be available "a few years from now" for over five years now. The few that have come out are expensive and have compromises. Guess I'll be sticking with my plug-in hybrid for quite a while longer.

Back to the Future II vibes. Never mind that its "future" setting was nine years ago...

Did they license the trademark from Mitsubishi?

Give me an electric Element - something with cargo space and rapid reconfigurability.

Honda is also aiming for optimum battery efficiency through its use of e-Axles, a system consisting of a motor, inverter, and gearbox that converts electric power into energy for driving.

This is revolutionary, folks: e-Axles! Can you believe it? They made an electric car!

They're describing an electric car.

Then they gave it a fancy proprietary name so gullible tech writers think it's Technology™️ and regurgitate their ad copy as news articles.

It seemed like Honda was going in the right direction with the eCity, but so much for that, I guess.

I'd be all over it, but only if it wasn't full of log collection and self driving bullshit like all EVs. EVs are a step to buying a rental. It's not yours. Cameras will be watching. You driving habits, tracks, conversations, etc, all sent to god knows where. This is the future of vehicles and it's bullshit.
