The automotive industry has seen a significant shift towards electrification in recent years, with many major manufacturers launching or discontinuing electric vehicle (EV) models. One such model that will no longer be available for purchase in the United States is the Honda Prologue. The Prologue was a concept car unveiled by Honda in 2016, and it marked one of the first mass-produced EVs from the Japanese manufacturer.
According to sources close to Honda, the company has decided to discontinue sales of the Prologue in the US market due to low demand. The decision is expected to affect hundreds of customers who had been waiting for months to purchase a vehicle. This move is part of a larger trend of EV models exiting the market, with several other manufacturers also announcing their plans to discontinue production.
The Honda Prologue's discontinuation will mark another blow to the automakers' efforts to meet environmental regulations and consumer demand for eco-friendly vehicles. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set strict emissions standards for new cars, which many EV manufacturers are struggling to meet. As a result, some models are being phased out or redesigned to comply with these regulations.
