I am a child who grew up watching Joe 90, Thunderbirds and Flash Gordon, TV shows which portrayed the future. In these series, vehicles were self-driving, had digital displays, and appeared powered by sources other than fossil fuel. I watched agog and dreamt of this technology.
Climbing into the Honda e and powering on the car, I was like my ten-year-old self. The whole front dashboard is an electronic display split into two screens plus the Driver's display which has a mass of information that is easy to read. All the displays come on when you enter the car, and the vehicle is ready to go.
Put your foot on the brake pedal, engage Drive and touch the accelerator and you're off. It takes a while to get used to because there is no sound, and your brain makes you think there should be to allow you to move. The power is immediate, and like I have said before about electric cars, it becomes addictive to press the pedal firmly to shoot forward. The Honda e is light, and the electric motor is powerful, 154 PS, they combine to produce sports car performance. 315 Nm of torque means super pulling power, and the Honda e has rapid acceleration. By selecting the 'Sport Mode', further boosts performance through faster acceleration.
