Katsushi Inoue, who leads Honda's electrification efforts, recognizes the increasing demand for compact electric vehicles. At the 2025 CES show, he hinted at exciting future developments:
- Independent Plan: Any new small EV would be developed independently from Honda’s 0 Series line.
- Vague, Yet Hopeful: While specific plans remain unconfirmed, Honda is exploring opportunities in the growing small EV market.
Honda aims to launch seven 0 Series models by 2030. These models will share a single platform but will focus largely on:
- Primarily SUVs: Aside from a saloon and a ‘compact sedan’, the 0 Series will mainly consist of SUVs by 2030.
The desire for a charming, compact electric hatchback similar to the Honda e is strong. Enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if Honda will meet this market demand.
Although there are no firm plans yet, Honda has hinted at the possibility of creating a replacement for the beloved Honda e, separate from its major 0 Series SUV line. As the demand for small electric cars continues to grow, fans are hopeful for the return of a compact, stylish Honda EV.
