It would be good to investigate how much of the push by auto manufacturers to make EVs was due to pressure from the government. They all had to see that there was no real profit in it absent government subsidies.
Honda seems to have other issues. They were at one time bulletproof cars (except for the interference engine/timing belt issues, which was always really a maintenance issue.). They are now having a lot more problems.
“the Honda Prologue is essentially a rebadged Chevrolet Blazer EV” ... they even told me that at the honda dealership when i bought my 2024 honda accord hybrid ... they rolled their eyes when they told me that, and it was obvious the dealership didn’t think very much about EVs in general or the fake honda EV in particular ...
Forcing people to have EVs from the government on down was a case of the tail walking the dog.
It never works.
Governments , “build the EV crap and we’ll make the stupid citizens buy them , free money” LOL
“Fujimura hinted that the automaker may expand its two-shift operation at U.S. plants to three to keep up with demand, requiring more coordination with suppliers.”
IOW, YUGE demand for honda ice and hybrid civics and accords in the states, but honda corporate was too focused on losing two billion dollars trying to crack the doomed and collapsing EV markets ...
They need to make their very excellent lawnmowers again.
Best walk behind consumer grade lawnmowers on the planet.
Just say NO to electric vehicles.
Without subsidy the EV market is doomed.
They stopped making small gasoline motor devices like electric generators and the beloved Honda lawn mowers. Expect continued huge losses when the EV mowers don’t sell.
Woke can be costly.
