It is far, far too early to speculate what the market will be like in 2025, let alone 2035! Honda has the tech and history of BEV production to enter the market on their own terms, without rushing an absolutely pathetic option like the bZ4x (buzzy forks?)
Honda US is also missing a globally popular power-train option, critical to reducing gas consumption: the PHEV, or Plug-In Hybrid Electric. Toyota’s newest PHEVs provide 50+ miles of electric driving each day and charge overnight with a normal power outlet. Many of these can get the full Federal Tax break. Almost everyone else has a good option in this space, but Honda cancelled their only BEV and PHEV option a few years ago (the Honda Clarity) leaving the market to Ford/Lincoln, Dodge, Subaru, Volvo, Jeep, Kia/Hyundai, Toyota/Lexus, Porsche, Chrysler…
Agreed, and yet very few PHEV are available in the market. It’s a joke honestly. It’s like these car companies want to ram full EV down your throat and you get pay $30k+ for the privilege.
