Honda softens EV goals to focus more on hybrids

Honda Softens Ev Goals To Focus More On Hybrids

Honda has announced it’s going to introduce 13 recent hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) using a lower cost, more fuel-efficient next-generation platform because it ditches its previous electric vehicle (EV) sales targets. 

The Honda business briefing held in Tokyo, Japan yesterday saw the automaker admit it won’t achieve its previous goal of 30 per cent of sales being EVs by 2030 despite committing to investing greater than 10 trillion yen (A$108 billion) in EV tech last 12 months.

As an alternative, Honda confirmed plans for a brand new generation of cheaper dual-motor ‘e:HEV’ hybrid technology – with renewed investment in internal combustion engines.

The tech will use a brand new lighter all-wheel drive platform across small, medium and huge vehicles to enter production from 2027.

The automaker said the tech – which can first be introduced in Japan and North America markets – might be cheaper with lower cost batteries and electric motors.

Honda can also be aiming for a ten per cent improvement in fuel efficiency for the brand new e:HEV tech.

Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said the brand goals to sell 2.2 million HEVs out of a complete of ‘greater than 3.6 million’ Honda vehicles annually by 2030. 

In 2024 the automaker’s total global production was 3.7 million vehicles.

The automaker will look to handle slow sales in China with a partnership to develop next-level Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with local start-up Momenta, enabling it to tune ADAS for specific markets. 

Despite the move away from its electric automobile sales targets, Honda said it stays committed to its previously announced goal to be carbon-neutral by 2050. 

While it has invested heavily in fuel-cell technology, the automaker said battery-electric powertrains remain the perfect solution to realize this, with plans for ‘comprehensive EV supply chain’ in Canada – despite headwinds from automotive tariffs applied by the US government. 

It plans to launch production versions of the Honda 0 Series electric range – the ‘essential pillar’ of its electric model strategy – shown on the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. 

The primary 0 Series model is scheduled to reach in showrooms in 2026, with the lineup set to incorporate a sedan and an SUV. 

Honda Australia is yet to verify any EVs for local showrooms, even though it currently offers five models with hybrid powertrains.
