For the past few years of research and development, Honda has taken on a comprehensive range of electric vehicle technologies in line with such strict targets as carbon neutrality. The development of a technology such as variable aspect control and motor techniques for using EVs, which also require sense of dynamics, is Honda’s way of trying to build the future of mobility. Here we explain the chronology of Honda Electric Vehicles.
History
The Honda EV Plus was first shown to the public by Honda in 1997. As a full-fledged Honda EV model specially manufactured in a standard vehicle body for this vehicle. The Honda E.V. Plus, for its development, utilizes once more ‘M/M’ concept in the design of the car. In 2017, several endeavors were made by Honda to draft the M/M concept, developting the Clarity Fuel Cell, the world’s first 5 five-passenger sedan type FCEV and the Clarity Electric, an EV model with the same platform. Clarity Electric provides a new offering to customers demanding cleanliness and perfection of an EV and the high quality, comfortable and spacious cabin space of a sedan for their daily commutes. By 2020, he developed the Honda e to fulfill his goal of creating a fun-to-drive EV model with “fun-to-touch” attributes proposing a new lifestyle to users.
Global Launch
The period until the end of the 2020s marks the “dawn of EVs” as the road to their widespread adoption progresses. During this time, Honda has actively developed and introduced EVs tailored to the specific market characteristics of regions such as North America, China, and Japan. By 2022, the company announced its plan to produce a total of 30 EV models and distribute them worldwide, aiming for an annual production volume exceeding 2 million units by 2030.
American Model
Honda is willing to launch the Honda Prologue along with the first ever ZDX EV Type and ZDX models underneath Acura in 2024. So marking the beginning of a pioneering full-scale EV deployment in North America. Both models are built with Generals Motors (GM) and will be powered by Ultrium battery technology, so quite fast is Honda’s progress on the continent as it brings carbon-neutral run-up by EV.
European Model
Honda has crafted the e:N Architecture out to bring forth a sense of sportiness and exhilaration in driving. It can be an experience which is unique to Honda’s own EV. The e:N Architecture comprises several key components, including an electric motor that enables smooth and dynamic acceleration along with precise control over starting in various situations. It is paired with a large-capacity battery that ensures a good driving range and vehicle frames specifically designed for EVs.
Japanese Model
Mini-vehicles are very much indispensible support for their existence on the earth of Japan as people use them a lot in their daily life. Especially for commercial-use mini-vehicles, there is high demand for electrification among businesses to cut down their environmental impact. Honda will cater to this demand by propagating a lineup of mini-EV models.
In the case of every other company in the world, Honda has been consistent with what is arguably its true identity. That is just because man stocks correspondence with the car and experiences it. For example, Honda electric vehicles have this core-joy from riding.
