Today I spotted that rare thing, another Honda e on the road whilst I was driving mine.
I Googled the 1st two letters of the reg and it was originally registered in the Garden of England, which is quite some way from today's sighting in East Hampshire.
Curiosity got the better of me & I discovered that it was first registered on 29 July 2020, so one of the first and a couple of weeks before mine.

I've been looking since the release and I have only ever see one blue one! Guess the price and limited range are dealbreakers for many.

Grey one following me then I followed it on the M621 round Leeds then shot (literally) down the A61 towards Wakefield. First one I’ve seen in North and West Yorkshire.

This morning ahead of me, I spotted a blue e heading into the site where I work, now that's the 2nd I've seen on the road.
I'm not sure where abouts they work because the site is approx 1 square km in size.

Glad you made this post!

As had to be on the Swiss roads quite a bit the last two days, and counted zero Honda E.
During the same time, counted about 15 Tesla 3s...
Versus the zero of Honda, this gives an infinite ratio of Tesla 3 over Honda E !

And we still have to encounter Honda E since the first four weeks we own it.

Which does make it on a par with an elusive snow leopard or wild dog.

The Honda e is still a rare thing to see on the road.

I'm currently on holiday in Cornwall, though not in the Honda because there's no way 4 of us would fit with our luggage, also the 250 mile each way trip would probably need 3 charge stops at a minimum instead of just one for lunch in our family car.

There are very few BEVs down here, with most being Tesla's with the odd Leaf, however I did see a grey Honda e on the A38 between Liskeard & Saltash yesterday.

Didn't know this thread exists!!

Last week, I saw yellow e on the opposite side of A413 (Gerrard Cross to Chalfont St Giles bypass in Bucks) - I waved but I don't think the driver noticed.
About a month ago, when I was leaving Tesco I saw blue e coming in, I waved and the lady driver waved back, we smiled at each other :)

I have only seen three on the road in the last 12 months , but spotted one on a driveway last month of a house in the North East with none other than a 2017 NSX beside it ! -

Spoke to the owner who was cleaning the Honda E whilst his NSX was covered in leaves and bird droppings and had not been cleaned for some weeks, who was genuinely far, far more enthusiastic about the Honda E than his NSX. Was disappointed that there was only one service centre for the NSX it in the UK (down in London) and the last service had cost him £5,000 and had to get the car down to London to get it serviced.
