30 kWh and 170 miles range?! That’s >5 mi/kWh, I haven’t seen anything run that well (consistently). Big if true for everyone - I’d buy one in an instant if Honda had a little more BEV chops, I’m still a bit skeptical of them.
My first EV was an eGolf with a 24 kWh battery. At its peak that was 100 mi range (was rated 80-something). Would have killed for this back then.

Small battery = less mass to carry = less energy required to move
Combined with modern motors and you get this kind of performance
Kinda like an analogous concept as the rocket equation, where adding range requires adding enough fuel to carry the weight of the additional fuel.
