Honda Plans to Launch 30 Electric Vehicles by 2030

The Japanese automaker and its American division Acura are reportedly about to change their strategy and may even launch their own fast charging network.

We mentioned this in a previous article on Mobiwisy, Honda is still somewhat hesitant about 100% electric technology and prefers to focus on full hybrids, which allow, at a reasonable cost, to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of cars.

Also a pioneer in hydrogen technology with its Honda Clarity Fuel Cell launched in 2016, but abandoned due to lack of commercial success, the Japanese specialist nevertheless plans to make a comeback in this field with the upcoming introduction of a hydrogen SUV in 2024.

To increase volume, Honda has decided to accelerate its electric vehicle offerings despite having significantly lower financial resources than some competitors. Thanks to its partnership with American automaker General Motors, Honda will also take advantage of 2024 to launch its fully electric SUV, the Prologue, which is expected to support the costly Honda-e city car. The company does not intend to stop there, with plans for no less than 29 additional models by 2030, ranging from entry-level to luxury vehicles.

Two platforms for the price of one?

To do this, future Honda and Acura electric models will use the e:Architecture platform, entirely Honda-developed, as well as the General Motors platform, which is more suitable for more affordable cars by 2027.

The rise of electric vehicles is also part of a broader plan, as these future models could, like Volkswagen’s ID. division, include a dedicated branch of the automaker for this technology. There are even rumors that Honda is working on its own charging network similar to Tesla’s Supercharger network, to better monetize these costly investments.
