    I think those are legal where I’m at, but if you have both mirrors and cameras it should be allowed by default. Also in the case of Honda e, I wonder how much power the screens and “mirrors” are eating, in a tiny car like that it might be noticeable.

      Most cameras are around 5W when in use, and it looks like the Honda e has a 35.5 kWh battery, and real world testing comes off the Honda e comes to around 167 Wh/km or 270 Wh/mile, so if you assume 3 cameras (2 side, 1 rearview) to replace mirrors, every hour of uninterrupted driving will have the cameras reducing your range by around 90 meters?
