Honda Kills the Prologue — and With Its 0 Series Plans Already Scrapped, It's Left Without a US EV
The GM-built Prologue ends production in December after just two model years on sale. Honda canceled its home-grown 0 Series SUV and Saloon for North America back in March, so there's no announced successor waiting behind it.
Honda confirmed on July 16 that the Prologue, its only electric vehicle sold in the United States, will end production in December after just two model years on sale. Dealers will keep selling remaining inventory until it's gone, and Honda says the discontinuation doesn't affect existing owners' warranty coverage, parts access, or service — but no replacement has been announced. Sales had already fallen off a cliff: through the first half of 2026, Prologue deliveries dropped to roughly 8,400 units, about half of what the same period produced a year earlier.
The Prologue was never a from-scratch Honda design. It launched for the 2024 model year built on General Motors' Ultium BEV3 architecture, the same platform underneath the Chevrolet Blazer EV — sharing its floor, frame rails, suspension subframes, pedal box, and steering column. Honda leaned on GM's platform specifically because its own dedicated EV architecture wasn't ready in time; that home-grown platform was supposed to arrive as the Honda 0 Series.
That's what makes the timing worse than a simple model cancellation. Back in March 2026, Honda already canceled the 0 Series SUV and Saloon for North America — plus a related Acura RSX EV — citing a slower-than-expected US EV market, shifting incentives, tariff pressure, and a renewed push toward hybrids. The 0 Series SUV had originally been slated to reach North America in the first half of 2026; the Saloon had already slipped from late 2026 to 2027 before getting axed entirely.
Put the two decisions together and Honda has no announced EV for the US market for the first time since the Prologue arrived in showrooms two years ago. The company isn't stepping away from electrification as a category — it's leaning harder into hybrids across its lineup in the meantime — but for now, anyone who wants a new Honda EV in the US simply won't have one to buy come January.
Three Years On, the Mission X Is Still a Concept — and Porsche Just Ruled Out a BEV Above the 911
The 2023 study promised four motors, 900 volts and a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio. In October, Porsche's chairman said there's no demand for a battery-electric car on the new supercar platform.
Three Videos and a Complaint: NHTSA Opens a School-Zone File on Tesla's Robotaxis
The federal evidence pile is four incidents, no crashes and no injuries. The question underneath it is bigger than that: whether an automated driving system reliably knows when a school zone is switched on.
Ford Recalls 2,276 F-150s Because a Repair Was Logged as Finished and Wasn't
The defect is the bolts that hold the front seats to the floor. The chronology is the part worth reading: an operator ran out of cycle time, the line stopped exactly as the protocol says it should, and then somebody ticked the repair off in the tracking system before it had been made.
