Honda e Prototype on the wish list for Honda Australia

AutoExec Summary
Honda is planning to bring its e Prototype electric car to Australia, as part of a renewed focus on electric and hybrid vehicles. The company aims to have 25% of its local line-up electrified by 2025, despite the lack of government incentives to reduce emissions. This is a U-turn for Honda, which dropped mainstream petrol-electric vehicles from its local line-up years ago. The company’s local director, Stephen Collins, acknowledges that buyer acceptance of hybrids and EVs is currently low in Australia, but he is confident that this will change over the next few years. Increased volumes of EVs overseas will also help drive down the cost of technology, making hybrids and EVs more attractive to potential customers.
