Honda officially ends sales of its only EV in the US

Honda has officially announced that it will stop selling its only electric vehicle in the US, the Honda Prologue, after the conclusion of the 2026 model year. This decision, reported by CarBuzz, follows the cancellation of three other EVs in March and signals a complete exit from the US EV market.

The Prologue, first announced in 2021 and launched in 2024, was the result of a collaboration with General Motors, using GM's Ultium battery platform. However, GM abandoned Ultium in 2024 in favor of other battery designs, prompting Honda to focus on its own platform. While Honda showcased some next-generation EVs in November 2025, it remained noncommittal about bringing them to the US.

In a statement to CarBuzz, Honda said: "Honda will conclude sales of Prologue later this year following completion of the 2026 model year. Prologue customers will continue to receive full support through our dealer network, including service, parts, and warranty coverage." Engadget has reached out to Honda for further details on its US EV plans.

Although the Prologue wasn't as popular as Tesla's Model Y or Model 3, it was still the sixth best-selling EV in the US in its first full year, according to Electrek. Without the Prologue, Honda's only zero-emission vehicle in the US will be the CR-V e:FCEV, a hydrogen fuel cell car available exclusively in California.

The loss of federal incentives has generally hurt the EV business, but rising gas prices have helped stabilize EV sales. Additionally, California has introduced instant rebates for new and used EV purchases.
