Honda finally announces its first electric vehicle, coming in 2024
Honda announced its first all-electric vehicle, the Prologue, on Monday.
Slated to arrive by early 2024, the SUV will be equipped with General Motors' Ultium battery platform, which will also be used in the upcoming GMC Hummer EV supertruck and SUV.
The Prologue helps Honda get closer to its goal of selling only zero-emission vehicles in North America by 2040. Acura, Honda's luxury brand, will also release an electric SUV in 2024, its first EV ever.
Currently Honda only offers hybrids and plug-in hybrid options, like the Insight and Clarity, respectively. After 2024, Honda plans to launch its own line of EVs separate from the GM partnership.
Honda has a separate website for the Prologue and promised more details (and hopefully some photos) of the EV in the coming months.
