The electric vehicle market is becoming increasingly crowded, and with that comes the reality that some models are no longer producing for the global market. One such example is the Honda Prologue, which will stop being sold in the United States. The Prologue was first introduced as a concept car at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and made its production debut in 2011.
The Prologue's electric powertrain provided an estimated range of up to 300 miles on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range EVs available at that time. However, Honda ultimately decided not to pursue mass production of the vehicle due to high development costs. The company cited a desire to focus its resources on more practical and profitable models.
As another example of discontinued electric vehicles, the Tesla Model S P85 Plaid will no longer be available for purchase in the U.S. The P85 Plaid was one of several high-performance variants produced by the company before it shifted its focus towards more mass-market offerings. This move further reinforces the idea that some EV models are not viable to produce on a large scale due to their complexity and cost.
