with 30 planned EV launches and a target annual production of over 2 million EVs by 2030. Now it has been confirmed that those models will be based on three new EV-dedicated architectures that are already under development.
Shinji Aoyama, Honda’s head of electrification, gave us a good idea of the upcoming modular architectures. As reported by , the Honda executive confirmed that the company is developing EV-specific small, medium, and large platforms. The small platform will be introduced by a mini-LCV for the Japanese market in 2024, followed by additional passenger mini-EV siblings.Next will be the large platform, supposedly the Honda e: Architecture from the previous announcement. This one will underpin a full-size EV for North America coming in 2026, and other models.
Last but not least, the third platform is a medium-sized architecture developed in collaboration with General Motors. It will debut in 2027 underpinning a series of affordable EVs, although Shinji Aoyama admitted it has not been decided yet if it will be a Honda or a GM architecture, and in which plants they are going to be produced. In any case, the rollout will start in North America and gradually expand to global markets.
