Honda exits its only US EV as it pivots to hybrids

Honda confirmed it will discontinue the Prologue after the 2026 model year, leaving the US with no all‑electric Honda offerings as it pivots to hybrids. The Prologue, built on GM's Ultium platform, briefly ranked among top EV sellers but has declined, and Honda previously scrapped plans for next‑gen EVs (0 Series, a sedan, and the Acura RSX). The Ohio EV hub will instead produce hybrids and gas vehicles; current Prologue owners will continue to receive service, parts, and warranty. Honda projects EV‑related costs around ¥2.5 trillion ($15.7B) with EV losses of about ¥1.45 trillion ($9.2B).

GM’s Bolt: The Fast-Charging Outlier Fueled by a China-made LFP Pack

GM’s Bolt uses a Chinese-sourced lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) pack that runs at a higher nominal voltage (near 400V), enabling a 10–80% charge in about 26 minutes—faster than GM’s Ultium-pack models that run around 290V and rely on high current. This speed comes from the Bolt’s LFP chemistry and different pack architecture, but the article notes there’s a catch to the Bolt’s approach that’s explored in a fuller drive review.

Honda denies Prologue production end as EV market cools

Honda says rumors it will end Prologue production in December are unfounded and the Prologue remains in its lineup. Built on GM's Ultium platform in Mexico, the model is part of Honda's broader EV retreat as demand wanes after incentives ended, following cuts to other EV programs (including the Acura RSX and the ZDX) and ahead of a projected multibillion-dollar loss, with a shift toward hybrids.
