"Sony Honda Mobility has decided to stop the development and launch of Afeela's first models, which were bound to go into production at Honda's East Liberty Auto Plant in Ohio."
"The Afeela 1 sedan was already in the pre-production phase, while the second model, a four-door SUV, could have gone on sale as early as 2028."
"SHM decided to scrap its development plans due to the changes to the EV market, but also because Honda chose to scrap its own lineup of all-new EVs."
"The decision comes during a rough time for some automakers that rely heavily on U.S. sales, with several major brands discontinuing their electric models."
Sony Honda Mobility has halted the development of Afeela's electric vehicles, including the Afeela 1 sedan and an SUV. The decision was made as the EV market underwent significant changes and Honda discontinued its own lineup of new electric vehicles. The Afeela models were set to utilize Honda's technology, which is no longer available due to these changes. The cancellation comes amid a challenging period for automakers reliant on U.S. sales, with several major brands also discontinuing their electric models.
