Cars: Honda Micro Commuter EV; transformable for different uses


Electric micro-cars are steadily trending. Smart has the ForTwo Electric Drive, Toyota the iQ EV, and now Honda is coming up with the all-electric Micro Commuter prototype.

What new about Honda�s micro city car is its platform and size. It iss built on top of their Variable Design Platform, which houses the battery, control unit and a 15 kilo-Watt engine. It�s a �skateboard� design, allowing multiple interior and exterior configurations, with a removable and customize-able body. If you desire a sporty 2-seat targa-top convertible one day and a small pickup the next, the Honda Micro Commuter has your needs covered.

The Micro Commuter has a top speed of about 80 km/h and a 100 km range with a fully charged battery. A full charge takes 3 hours, and drivers can also sync up their smartphone or phablet and use them as a battery meter or navigation system.
