Honda will intensify its offensive in the electric market. Many new models will be launched in the coming years.
In North America, Honda will rely on its new partnership with General Motors to accelerate its offerings. The two manufacturers are jointly developing two electric vehicles, which will be introduced in 2024. GM will supply the batteries, but Honda reserves the right to create a new joint venture later to meet its needs. By 2027, affordable electric models will join the Honda lineup in North America, still thanks to the partnership with GM.
In China, the company plans to add 10 new electric models by 2027. CATL will handle battery supply. In Japan, the brand intends to launch a small electric utility vehicle in early 2024. Subsequently, the range will expand with SUVs and other small electric vehicles for consumers. Envision AESC will partially supply the batteries.
An electric Honda SUV in Europe
The Japanese company did not mention Europe in its recent announcements, but it had previously indicated that it will launch the production version of the e:Ny1 Prototype in 2023. It is also known that Honda aims for 80% of sales to be electric or hydrogen-powered by 2035 on our continent.
Overall, the brand plans to introduce 30 new electric models worldwide by 2030. From small kei cars in Japan to larger SUVs, affordable and luxury vehicles—there will be options for everyone. It is also targeting the sports car segment, with two models already announced. Little is known about them at this stage, but shared images hint at exciting possibilities—perhaps a future Honda NSX?
2 million electric cars per year by 2030
Honda also plans to deepen its research on solid-state batteries. The goal is to introduce this promising technology in the second half of the decade. Meanwhile, engineers are continuing work on fuel cells and are developing a new electric platform, which is expected to be launched in 2026.
Regarding volumes, the Japanese manufacturer aims for over two million electric cars annually by 2030. Three new factories are planned: one in North America and two in China.
The electric offensive will extend beyond the automotive sector. Trucks, airplanes, and two-wheelers will also be affected. Honda aims to achieve carbon neutrality across all its products and activities by 2050.
