Japanese car company Honda intends to make an electric transition through two models developed in cooperation with the car company General Motors.
The Japanese automaker said it will start selling its first electric car in this market early next year.
Announcement
Honda unveiled its Prologue model in Michigan.
The electric SUV was developed in partnership with the American automobile giant General Motors.
The exterior and interior design were developed by Honda. General Motors provided a battery that allows the car to travel a distance of 480 kilometers on a single charge.
“The Prologue name signals the beginning of a new chapter in the US electric vehicle market,” said Matsuura Hirokazu of Honda Motor Company. “We want to expand our sales here with this model.”
The administration of US President Joe Biden is trying to promote electric vehicles as a measure to reduce greenhouse gases.
More than 7 percent of new cars sold in the United States from April to June of this year were electric.
Honda has lagged behind some of its Japanese rivals in getting to the starting gate. Toyota Motor and Subaru introduced their new models to the American market last year.
