HERE ARE ALL OF THE PROMISES THAT EV VEHICLES WILL DO FOR YOUNew BEVs on the horizon?
Yes. The company aims for all its sales to be zero-emissions, electrified vehicles by 2040. The projected ramp-up to this goal is 40 percent of sales by 2030 and 80 percent of sales by 2035. American Honda—which sells popular Honda- and Acura-branded cars, SUVs, and pickups to American consumers—has long dabbled in electrified cars. They range from the Civic hybrid, CRZ, and Insight to more recent models like the Accord hybrid, CR-V hybrid, and Clarity hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric. Honda signed a memorandum of understanding with General Motors in late 2020 that would allow Honda to make use of GM’s upcoming Ultium batteries—a proprietary technology GM says will allow long-range electric travel, among other benefits. The accord also calls for mutual vehicle platform-sharing, which will allow either automaker to use the basic building blocks of GM’s electric vehicle architecture in designing and building its own cars. The automaker has announced that it will have its first electric vehicles based on the e:Architecture platform by model year 2024, starting with the Prologue launching in early 2024 in North America. Automotive News reported in January that Honda has plans to build a Honda EV in 2023 at a GM plant in Mexico, and an Acura EV in 2024 at the GM plant in Tennessee where GM plans to build the Cadillac Lyriq EV. BMW got into the EV game relatively early with its i3, an electric city car that has had limited success in the U.S. since becoming available at dealerships here for the 2014 model year. The automaker has teased concept EVs including the i4, iX, and Vision, and recently announced plans to introduce electric versions of the 5 Series and 7 Series sedans, and the X1 SUV. In all, BMW says it will bring roughly a dozen new EVs to market by 2025. Mini and Rolls-Royce also fall under the BMW umbrella, with a Mini Cooper electric model already available. There have been rumors of an upcoming Rolls-Royce EV, which could be called the Silent Shadow by many.
