Honda’s first electric vehicles could arrive in Australia sooner than expected, possibly within the next three years. Honda Australia boss Carolyn McMahon previously suggested a launch by 2028, but now clarifies it will be earlier than that. Honda currently offers hybrids in Australia but has never sold an EV locally. The brand plans to introduce battery electric vehicles to the Australian market, drawing from global production lines to meet compliance regulations. Honda aims to roll out 30 EV models globally by 2030 and is investing in an EV assembly and battery plant in Canada for the North American market.
