UTSUNOMIYA, Japan: As many automakers bet on sedans and SUVs in the switch to electric vehicles , Japan's Honda Motor has decided smaller is better for its first-ever all-battery car.

The Honda e, however, has a battery capacity roughly half that of the Model 3, driving just 280km per charge. "We question whether larger vehicles are appropriate for urban areas, and believe that smaller is a better option for cities."With a retro, ultra-compact design evoking Honda's classic N360 and N600 models from the 1960s, the two-door Honda e is intended as an upmarket city car, whose price tag of around €33,000 is higher than Renault's Zoe ZE50, which is roomier and has a longer driving range.
