In 2024, the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX, currently being co-developed with General Motors will go on sale in North America. In 2025, a mid-to-large size EV model which adopts the new E&E architecture based on Honda’s original dedicated EV platform will go on sale.

Keeping pace with the enhancement of its EV lineup, Honda will begin offering vehicle charging services. For home recharging, based on the Honda SmartCharge™, an EV charging service currently available in North America, Honda is planning to roll out energy business that utilizes the power supply capability of EVs.

For public charging, Honda will work toward the establishment of an EV charging services environment for its customers in collaboration with providers of convenient and reliable charging networks.

In addition to the advancement of liquid lithium-ion batteries, Honda will develop and introduce next-generation batteries such as semi-solid-state and all-solid-state batteries. It will collaborate with GS Yuasa International Ltd. to develop high-capacity, high-output liquid lithium-ion batteries for EV use.
