EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 107 miles for the Honda Super-N and 149 miles for the Vauxhall Corsa - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.

The Honda Super-N is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 192 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Corsa. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 827 mm of total clearance for the Honda Super-N and about 635 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Corsa.
