According to Honda Germany, it's no longer possible to order the Honda e in Europe.
They have also disappeared from the website. What about the UK?
I'm curious to see what this means for any potential spare parts...
Goodbye Honda e – That's a Wrap in Europe
Still on the UK website.
Here in Iceland, they stopped taking orders for them at the start of January 2023. Thankfully I ordered mine the previous September, so I still managed to have it delivered in May.
In terms of spare parts, while there's some stuff that's bespoke to the e, there's a lot of the running gear that's shared with the Jazz, Civic and e:NY1.
Having worked in the auto industry for best part of a decade, I'm not concerned about spare parts for the foreseeable future.
Auto manufactures make sure that there's a stock of spares for their models, and often third party suppliers can be called on to manufacture batches of parts if needed to replenish back stock.

1894 in the UK as of Q2 2023 with a further 61 on SORN (so likely to be sat registered at dealers awaiting a home). So in total, just under 2k will likely ever have hit the UK roads.

My concern is that special parts (e.g. the loading flap made of glass, side windows, door handles, cameras, etc.) will be difficult or expensive to obtain. Maybe I'm just thinking about it because at the moment, due to the icy conditions, all the things mentioned are being affected/not working properly and we often have to get into the car via the rear door...Verone wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 9:31 pm In terms of spare parts, while there's some stuff that's bespoke to the e, there's a lot of the running gear that's shared with the Jazz, Civic and e:NY1.

BTW:
According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority a.k.a. Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt in Germany, a total of 1127 new Honda e models were registered in 2020, and slightly more in 2021 with 1256 units. In 2022, only 677 units were registered – in 2023, 101 units up to and including October....
