Honda has removed its only electric vehicle, the e:Ny1, from its German website. As reported by Inside EVs, the car was also pulled from the UK market beforehand. It has likewise disappeared from Honda's websites in Italy, Switzerland, and Spain, where it can no longer be configured.
Honda appears to have quietly exited the European EV market, at least for now. Only hybrid vehicles can still be configured on the site — pure battery-electric cars are no longer available. Honda had previously sold the retro-styled Honda e, a small electric city car delivered from 2020 until 2024. The e:Ny1 was introduced in 2023.
Like the Honda e before it, the e:Ny1 was relatively expensive. Buyers paid €38,900 for a compact car with a WLTP range of 412 km, a 68.8 kWh battery, and 150 kW of power. Charging maxes out at 78 kW, which — given the sizeable battery — translates to a 45-minute charge from 10 to 80 percent.
The Honda e:Ny1 Simply Didn't Sell
While the range was a significant improvement over the Honda e's 200 km, the e:Ny1 still failed to find many buyers. Registration numbers dropped last year — according to Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), only 105 units were registered in 2025, representing just 1.44% of all Honda vehicles registered that year.
What comes next for Honda EVs in Germany remains unclear. In March 2026, the company announced it was scrapping development of the Afeela — an electric car planned jointly with Sony. Whether a prototype electric kei car unveiled in Japan at the end of 2025 will ever make it to Germany is also uncertain.
Honda recently revised its profit forecast and now expects to post a loss.
