Honda has not shared details on the size of the batteries in these upcoming EVs. The carmaker is likely to equip the 0 Series electric SUV and saloon with at least a 90 kWh battery pack. This could help the EVs to offer a range of around 490 kms in a single charge. Honda may also offer a 100 kWh battery for long-range variants.
The Honda 0 Series electric cars promise to offer radical design language as showcased in their concept versions. The sleek and futuristic design of the EVs was first showcased by Honda at the CES held last year. The Honda 0 Series SUV appears to be loosely based on the Space-Hub concept EV the carmaker revealed at the previous edition of the event. The interior of these EVs are also futuristic, yet minimal, with most of the controls digitised. Both the EVs will be equipped with level-3 ADAS using the carmaker's AI technology which promises to reduce traffic collision fatalities in the future.
Honda has also introduced a new AI-based operating system called the ASIMO in the 0 Series EV concepts. The ASIMO OS was first unveiled at the CES two decades ago. The operating system will help in controlling various functions, including the ADAS and infotainment system inside the EVs. The operating system can also be updated through OTA on a regular basis.
