Re: E:ny1 for a day

The way the regen resets and lack of one pedal mode is a big let-down. Wing mirrors too...

They were doing some really cheap deals on them recently, but I'd much prefer an e with a bigger battery.

It's just speculation.

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

Some people do suggest hammering the battery as much as you can to get the SoH down, especially if you seem to have a bad cell. I don't know what Honda are like, but Nissan won't do anything unless you get below the threshold, even if you car is suddenly dying without warning.

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

That sounds very much like an unbalanced cell. It makes the SoH go down, but then gets corrected by a full charge or rapid charge.

The SoH can never go back up again. So stays put until it comes back down again, however long that takes.

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

Sure, but I mean the Honda app might display it differently. A lot of cars show a different SoC on the dashboard to what the BMS reports over OBD2.

Anyway, it's worrying that yours has only 85% if others with 60k km have 90%. What sort of mileage does yours have? What age?

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

From what I can gather the battery warranty is 8 years and 70%, so a further 15.53% needs to be lost to trigger a free repair/replacement. But that assumes that they use the same SoH value. Most cars report a different SoH and SoC on the dashboard and on some official diagnostic tools to what you ge...

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

Thanks. What is the age of your vehicle and mileage?

TBH that's rather a lot of degradation for a max 3 year old car, unless it's done mega miles. I wonder if the SOH can be improved with charging.

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

My concern is with the low mileage ones. The Leaf degraded a lot more if left unused for a long time. I think that goes for most EVs, especially if they are left at high or low state-of-charge. The e seems to have very large buffers so maybe it's less of an issue, but there isn't much information. I...

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

It will be my only car, it's not a toy for me. I'll keep it long term so I want to make sure it's okay.

Re: How do you check a Honda e before purchase?

Thanks, I will have a look at that. It seems like there is no way to set things like cell voltages like you can with LeafSpy though. How bad is battery degradation and how good are Honda with the warranty? I've seen some that are 3 years old with less than 1000 miles, which makes me think the batter...
