Honda has announced a significant expansion in its electric vehicle (EV) production, with plans to invest $11 billion to build 240,000 EVs annually. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to increase Honda's presence in the EV market, supported by up to $5 billion in government assistance for its battery and assembly plants. Additionally, the investment will create 1,000 union jobs. Despite the ambitious expansion, there are concerns about a slowdown in EV sales in North America due to high costs and range anxiety. Both Honda and Toyota are ramping up their EV investments, leveraging government subsidies and tax credits to mitigate these market challenges. Honda's specific commitment includes a $15 billion investment in Alliston's EV plant.
