Honda posts over $9 billion loss on EVs, drops 2040 full electrification goal

Honda has shifted to a hybrid-focused strategy after recording more than $9 billion in losses linked to its electric-vehicle business. It booked 1.45 trillion yen in EV-related losses for the fiscal year ending March 2026 and abandoned its goal of phasing out gasoline vehicles by 2040. The company plans new hybrid models and changes North American production, including repurposing an Ohio EV hub and converting some battery lines at an LG Energy Solution joint venture.
