Honda Cancels US EV, Advises Owners to Buy Gas Cars

Honda has officially canceled the Prologue, its sole electric vehicle offering in the United States. This decision marks a significant shift in the company's EV strategy for the American market. The automaker is now advising current Prologue owners to consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle as an alternative.

The move comes after Honda's recent reassessment of its electric vehicle plans. The Prologue, which was launched with considerable anticipation, has now been discontinued. The company's guidance to existing EV owners suggests a pivot away from fully electric models in the near term, at least within the US market.

This strategic change by Honda raises questions about the long-term commitment to electrification for the brand in the US. The advice to switch to hybrids indicates a potential hesitation to fully embrace battery-electric technology, or a response to market conditions and consumer demand as perceived by the company. The implications for future Honda EV models and their availability in the US remain to be seen.
