The AIADA reported thatt Honda Motor will end production this year of the lone electric vehicle it sells in the U.S., the latest retrenchment for battery-powered cars in the American market.

The 2026 model year will be the last for Honda’s Prologue SUV, said Lance Woelfer, the vice president of automobile sales for American Honda Motor Co.

The company isn’t canceling sales immediately, but expects them to continue through early 2027 as inventory winds down, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Most automakers in the U.S., including Volkswagen, Stellantis and Ford, are pivoting from their once-aggressive efforts to increase EV production.

Last year, the Trump administration ended the federal EV tax credit program and effectively did away with the stringent fuel-economy rules that were driving a more electric market by the 2030s.

Sales of EVs dropped 30 percent year-over-year in June, according to Motor Intelligence data. Honda earlier this year announced that it would also scrap a forthcoming EV program, which aimed to make three new electric models in Ohio and Canada.

The automaker’s decision to terminate those plans led to $10 billion in costs and its first annual loss as a listed company in 2025.
