After canceling EVs, Honda laughably tells EV owners to buy a gas guzzler instead
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Honda has discontinued the Prologue, its sole EV in the US, and is advising owners to consider hybrids. Despite the vehicle's strong sales performance and top-10 ranking, Honda is pushing a return to gas-powered options. However, reports indicate that current EV owners are largely uninterested in switching back to internal combustion engines after experiencing the benefits of electric vehicles.
Honda recently canceled the only EV it sells in the US, and this month started telling Prologue owners to “consider a hybrid.” But here’s the hitch: virtually zero EV owners are interested in switching back to gas after experiencing how much better EVs are.
Up until this month, Honda sold one of the best-selling EVs in the US: the Honda Prologue.
The car was the result of a collaboration between GM and Honda, largely using the underpinnings of a Chevy Blazer.
But it was a big hit – it outsold everything GM had to offer in 2024, its first year on the market. It continued to beat expectations, and remained in the top 10 EV models in the US… all the way up until its unceremonious discontinuation just last week.
