Honda Plans to Dump Internal-Combustion Engines by 2040
Honda is the latest automaker to announce it will eliminate all production of internal combustion engines with a plan to go all-electric by 2040. Not electrified (i.e. hybrid), but 100 percent battery- or fuel-cell-electric in a little less than 20 years from now. Don’t worry, we still have a little while to enjoy Honda’s fantastic gasoline engines before they hit the endangered species list. The ramp-up is truly that: It’ll take a little while to start, but then it’s really going to go. Honda’s plan is to have battery-electrics (BEVs) and fuel-cell-electrics (FCEVs) account for 40 percent of North American sales by 2030, 80 percent by 2035, and 100 percent by 2040. What Has to Happen for Honda to Go ZEV by 2040? Meanwhile, Honda is developing a new dedicated ...
