Although Honda’s electric car output has been relatively modest so far, it’s unlikely to stay that way for long. In 2022, it was revealed that Honda and GM had formed a partnership to develop affordable EVs based on GM’s Ultium platform, with the first models launching in 2027. The Japanese automaker has also teamed up with Sony on a new EV brand called Afeela, with the brand’s first cars expected to be delivered in 2026. Before those hit the market, the 2024 Prologue has already been announced as the brand’s first American all-electric SUV, although details remain scant so far. Another, as-yet-unnamed electric SUV will hit the market the following year, it was recently announced. To keep enthusiasts happy, Honda is planning to release two EV sports cars too, with one potentially being a production version of the EV Sports concept, pictured above.
That’s in addition to Honda’s ongoing partnerships in the Chinese auto market, which as previously mentioned, will launch 10 models under the e:N brand by 2027. Honda’s COO has been upfront about how the company is lagging behind in the race to capture the world’s biggest EV market, stating frankly that at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, “We were overwhelmed by the Chinese [automakers].” Clearly, executives recognize that the company’s efforts towards electrification up to this point have not been enough to compete, and over the next decade or so, a radical transformation is set to take place across the brand’s global lineup. It’s almost certain, then, that the best is yet to come for Honda’s EV range.
