Honda will launch two new Electrical Vehicles for model year 2024 in the US and Canada, and they’ll both be based on GM’s EV platform.
They’ll be manufactured at GM’s plants in North America,since they’ll be using GM technology. In addition, they’ll also feature GM’s On Star safety and security services.
GM’s platform is powered by the company’s Ultium batteries, which can deliver as much as 400 miles of range and 0-to-60MPH in 3 seconds.
The battery’s latest version is also cheaper to manufacture than its previous ones, and it has a 200kW fast charging capability.
This is far from the first time Honda and GM are working together. The two automakers teamed up to develop hydrogen fuel cells in the past and collaborated to build Cruise Origin, an autonomous electric van that could be used as a robotaxi.
