HONDA JUST SCRAPPED THEIR EV PLAN. HERE'S WHY IT'S GENIUS.

EV Channels Review

Honda has made a strategic pivot, reportedly scrapping plans for a large, three-row EV SUV due to decreased US demand and the recent elimination of the EV tax credit. The reviewer commends this decision as "genius" and "smart," highlighting the current market's poor reception and high costs associated with three-row EVs, citing examples like the Volvo EX90 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 struggling with sales and requiring significant discounts. Instead, Honda will redirect investments towards developing profitable hybrid models for its larger vehicles like the Pilot, Passport, and Ridgeline, a move the reviewer strongly supports. While Honda still aims for full electrification by 2040, this pragmatic adjustment prioritizes immediate market realities and consumer demand for hybrids over an aggressive, potentially costly, EV push. The channel will continue to cover automotive news and reviews, including upcoming historic Honda drives.
