Honda’s First US-Made EV to Share Assembly Line With Gas Cars

Honda Motor Co. plans to start manufacturing its first US-made fully electric vehicles at a plant in Ohio next year on a production line that will also build traditional gas-powered cars.

Producing the as-yet-unnamed mid- to large-sized EV alongside one or more gas models represents an effort to boost efficiency and respond to marketplace demand, the Japanese automaker said Friday. Growth in EV adoption has slowed among US car buyers, forcing some carmakers to slash output and delay the introduction of new EV models.
