I've booked it in for next Tuesday.
The dealer downloaded some data from the car and sent it off to Honda to be evaluated, so they kept the car overnight while they waited for a response from Honda. Bottom line is they couldn't find any problem, and there were no fault codes. They charged the car to 100%, just to check that it would charge to 100% (I suppose that'll save me a few pennies on charging, although I had to spend more on petrol for the courtesy car, which only had about 2 litres of petrol in it when I picked it up!). They said Honda told them that the car can lose charge in certain circumstances, but they didn't tell the dealer what those circumstances are!
I also mentioned the drivers door window problem that I had last week, where it dropped down as soon as I turned the car off, and wouldn't move up again when I opened and shut the door. I think they said it may be the switch, which is integrated with the door handle, so they've ordered a new door handle, and I'll have to take the car back for that to be replaced when it arrives (probably next week).
So as I expected they couldn't find any problem and have said to just keep monitoring it!
The courtesy car was a Honda Jazz, one of the new hybrid cars, with CVT auto transmission. I was quite impressed with that. It's almost as quiet as the Honda e and the ride quality just as good, maybe even slightly better (and no rattles!). A nice car that easily does over 70mpg (on my way home, after putting some petrol in it, the drive was overall downhill and I got 111mpg out of it (only about 2 - 3 miles journey). It still burns petrol and pollutes the air though, so the Honda e is better (and I missed not having the parking cameras in the Jazz).
