Honda e:Technology
Honda e:Technology refers to Honda's electrification technologies for using electricity more effectively. By effectively generating, utilizing and connecting naturally generated energy resources, we will achieve a carbon neutral future that everyone can share.
e:HEV is Honda's latest hybrid technology that is close to EV driving. The e:HEV technology supports real driving performance while achieving amazing fuel economy and low carbon emissions. It combines instantaneous electric power with the autonomy of an efficient petrol engine; the perfect hybrid combination for the city and beyond.
EV Drive Mode
During startup acceleration and city driving, the vehicle runs on the motor alone, powered by electricity from the battery. Since the engine is off, the vehicle runs like a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle), without using gasoline. The driver's operation of the accelerator pedal and motor power output are precisely controlled, ensuring a smooth and highly responsive driving experience.
Hybrid Drive Mode
The vehicle runs on the motor alone using electricity generated by the engine. Electricity from the battery is also used to realize powerful acceleration. A linear acceleration feel is achieved by optimizing the balance between acceleration G in response to accelerator pedal operation and engine speed increase.
Engine Drive Mode
During high-speed cruising, which requires less driving force, engine drive mode is more efficient than running the motor at high speed. Engine output is directly connected to the driveshaft to reduce power loss.
EV Drive Mode(Regenerative Braking)
When decelerating or driving downhill, the tire rotation drives the traction motor to generate electricity, converting kinetic energy into electricity which is stored in the battery.
