GM And Honda Ditch Plans To Make Cheap Electric Cars Together
The decision comes just one year after the two companies announced they would co-develop a platform for affordable crossovers.
General Motors and Honda Motor will no longer work together to develop affordable electric vehicles (EVs), scrapping a plan that was announced a little over a year ago, the Japanese automaker said today, according to Reuters.
The two companies have an agreement for the Ultium-based Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX SUVs, but last year’s collaboration was supposed to lead to the creation of several more affordable compact electric crossovers that would have been powered by GM’s Ultium batteries.
The first of these models was said to debut on the North American market in 2027 using a new, shared platform that would have taken advantage of all the know-how of both automakers, leading to improved vehicle quality and a boost in production speed. Some models were also slated to go on the global market, including South America and China.
