Last week, we got some good news about the U.S. EV sector: Sales bounced back forcefully in Q2. But it turns out the carnage isn’t over quite yet. Honda is pulling the plug on the Prologue, citing lower EV demand. In less than two years, the GM-made crossover went from being one of America’s best-selling non-Tesla EVs to the chopping block.
Given that Honda axed the Acura ZDX last year and shut down its next-gen EV project earlier this year, this means Honda will be left without an electric offering in America. For more on this news, check out my story below.
Here are our other top reads today:
