When I first clapped eyes on the two Honda 0 Series concept cars at CES 2024 I was left eager for more. I’d seen and heard a lot about what the Japanese carmaker was planning for its new electric range, but wanted to have some meat on the bones of the Honda masterplan rather than just peering through the windows of its 0 Series saloon and Space-Hub creations.
