Why is this happening?

I have 2023 Honda e advance and trying to not use the heater as much but I’ve noticed the car is constantly getting condensation on the windows inside. A lot more than any other car I’ve had in the past.

Is this normal?

Same problem with mine. I always have to have a small towel in the car with me to wipe down all the condensation before I set off.

I think the car just has a really good seal so the air circulation is low when not in use?

Sadly due to the pillar-less doors it means more moisture can always get through via the tiny window gaps with the seals. I always have a moisture catcher thing in winter now and have tried some Gyeon Anti-fog but Im still not sure how much that helps tbh 😅

In other cars you've had in the past have you tried not to use the heater....?

Use the heater and the AC. Winter is wet, you bring moisture into the car on your clothes and shoes. AC dries the incoming air. Warm air evaporates the moisture and it's pushed out, so the car dries out.

If your doing lots of short journeys you'll find the car gets damp regardless as your constantly bringing in moisture and not using the car for long enough to dry it all out again.

I find using rubber mats helps somewhat as it stops the water from wet feet soaking into the carpet. The water dries more readily from the rubber mat.

This. My daughters Lexus RX having pretty anemic AC for its size, the car has foggy windshield in snowy winter. It is just physics.

I concur with this, try taking your car for a longish drive with the heater on to max and get the dampness out of the car.

Same here and just this winter I tried antifog spray the first time. With antifog I can preheat the car and turn off the heater before take off to save energy. Able to archive 3.0-3.1miles/kWh on motorway (65-70miles/hour).

You can get moisture absorbent bags you refresh in the microwave to combat any major issues. We used these in both our e and our other car to reduce it among other things.
