In recent automotive news, Honda has pulled the plug on its Afeela electric vehicle project, a joint partnership with Sony aiming to create premium low-volume EVs. This unexpected halt follows Honda’s announcement of stopping its next-generation EV plans after investing nearly $16 billion. The cancellation also helps Honda avoid legal battles with US dealers opposing direct-to-consumer sales of Afeela vehicles. Despite the setback, the impact on Honda’s current earnings is minimal.
Meanwhile, General Motors is finding new uses for its fleet of autonomous Chevy Bolts originally used in the Cruise AV program. Some of these vehicles are now being integrated into testing for GM’s latest Super Cruise advanced driver-assist system, meaning GM’s on-road development fleet is expanding beyond the usual Cadillac models. This innovative adaptation showcases how automotive companies repurpose existing EV platforms to advance technology while managing costs.
