On June 13, Honda announced that it will begin sales in Japan of a new commercial-use mini-EV (electric vehicle), the N-VAN e:, on October 10, 2024.
The N-VAN e: is a commercial-use mini-EV model based on the gasoline-powered N-VAN.

It realizes a range of 245 km on a single charge in WLTC mode, sufficient for a delivery service, and charging time of approximately 4.5 hours for normal charging (6.0 kW output) and approximately 30 minutes for fast charging (50 kW output). Moreover, the battery cooling and heating system is adopted.
Four types of N-VAN e: are available to meet a wide range of customer needs for both commercial and personal uses.
Advanced safety and driver-assistive functions are available for all types as standard features. Moreover, the N-VAN e: will be the first model among all commercial-use light van models available in the market to be equipped with side curtain airbags for both the driver and front passenger seats as standard equipment. It also will be the first model among all mini-vehicle models in Japan to adopt the Post-Collision Braking System.
The prices start from JPY 2,439,800.
