Charging Honda EVs
Deciding to invest in a Honda EV means considering how best to charge it to get the most out of its battery life.
It can be very tempting to stick to the emergency 3-pin charging plug or to opt for cheaper charging cables or chargers, but you’ll end up spending more in the long run. Cheaper equipment tends to be of a poorer quality which will break more often, resulting in having to buy more of them.
Invest in high-end equipment and get the most out of your investment.

Honda EV Models
Honda has one electric vehicle model available commercially, the Honda E, released in 2020. It has a total battery capacity of 35.5 kWh and a usable battery capacity of 28.5 kWh.
As with all EVs, the battery capacity will impact how long a full charge will take and what charger is most appropriate for charging.
Honda EV Cables
Just like with any other model of EV or PHEV on the market, Honda’s EVs require a specific type of charging cable for optimal charging capacity. Everything from the cable chassis materials to the length of the cable can impact charging times.
At Smartly, we stock EV charging cables that are compatible with Honda’s EV:
