It’s no secret I’m more of a fan of diesels than EVs when it comes to the green fight. Anyone’s who’s had some time behind the wheel of a newer oil-burner knows these things are heads and shoulders above the driving death featured in hybrids everywhere. Then Honda goes and shows off this little sucker – the EV-N Concept. Swiping design cues straight from the ever lovable N600, this pint-size eco-fighter packs a battery-powered electric motor and storage for the somewhat confusing U3-X electric unicycle. Honda’s not saying a word about any of the important stuff – price, range, time to charge, etc – but we can expect more details as we get closer to the Tokyo Motor Show. An EV with some soul? I’m sold. [Source: Honda]

This thing is a little cutie. It looks great, and would be a kickass city car with loads of style. If Honda builds it, and can sell it at a halfway-reasonable price, they won’t be able to make enough of them.
If Honda produces this, maybe we can get Nissan to revive the Pao/Figaro/S-Cargo series of cars as EVs. I miss the quirky Japanese thing sometimes.
