Honda E
Next on the list is a small and cosy model from Honda. It is equipped with a vintage look that brings instant feelings of nostalgia at first glance. The interior of the car is nothing short of brilliant and the quality of the drive speaks for itself. The Honda E can accelerate 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and reach top speeds of 145 km/h.

This is revolutionary, to say the least, as it is setting the bar high for the rest of the competition. This is definitely a must-buy for people looking into purchasing an electric car.
