Since opening preorders in Japan on April 21, Kawasaka said the new EV has secured over 7,000 reservations in about a month.

Honda officially launched the Super-One on Friday, May 22, starting at 3,390,200 yen, or about $21,300. Based on the N-ONE e, Honda’s compact EV sold in Japan, the Super-ONE is a souped-up sportier version aimed at being a “fun” car to drive.
