American Honda will release its first fully electric SUV in North America in 2024 and aims to deliver 70,000 units of the Prologue to dealers in the first year
Honda has identified an initial annual sales target for its fully electric Prologue SUV of 70,000 units. The carmaker’s first new volume battery-electric vehicle (BEV) goes on sale in North America in 2024.
“We are working with our dealers to plan the transition from sales of primarily gasoline-powered vehicles to selling 100% electric vehicles by 2040,” said Dave Gardner, executive vice-president of national operations at American Honda Motor.
On the way to that target, the carmaker EV deliveries will reach 500,000 units by 2030, equal to 40% of overall sales, rising to 80% by 2035. Those vehicles will be based on what the carmaker is calling its e:Architecture platform.
