Honda’s dropping its all-electric Prologue after 2026

There won't be any electrics in the lineup, but the company plans to push ahead with 15 new hybrids by 2030

- Honda is discontinuing its all-electric Prologue at the end of 2026 - This means it won’t have any electric vehicles in North America, only hybrids and gas-powered models - It’s a sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Blazer EV, but there’s no word on anything happening to that model – at least, not yet In Canada, the Prologue is only available in British Columbia, Quebec, and Ontario, in three trims ranging from $60,090 to $70,090.

Offered only in all-wheel drive (AWD), it has a range of 455 to 473 km, depending on trim. The Prologue, which debuted for the 2024 model year, is a sister vehicle the Chevrolet Blazer EV. That Chevy version is available in front-wheel drive (FWD) starting in Canada at $55,699, and in AWD at $59,199, offered in all provinces.

So far, we have no word on whether the Blazer EV will eventually share the Prologue’s fate. In 2025 overall, Honda Canada sold 1,063 copies of the Prologue, up from 532 in 2024. But only 96 found new homes in the first quarter of 2025, down from 290 sold in the last three months of 2025.

In the U.S., Prologue sales in the first six months of 2026 fell by almost half from the same period in 2025. The Prologue was developed in conjunction with GM, and with Honda designing its version at its studio in Los Angeles. But it’s built at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, and so faces tariffs when imported into the U.S., where it starts at US$39,900.

It also suffered the loss of that country’s “green rebate,” which knocked US$7,500 off its sticker before the program was discontinued at the end of September 2025. Canada recently reinstated its rebate, now known as the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP), but the Prologue doesn’t qualify as it’s priced above the program’s $50,000 cap. Honda had planned a massive global EV strategy, focused around its new “0 Series” vehicle, starting with a car and SUV that it debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in 2024.

It took an equally-massive hit when, in March 2026, it announced the entire “0” project was being cancelled. It also shelved plans to bring back the Acura RSX nameplate on an all-electric SUV, based on an in-house EV platform. The “0 Series” would also usher in an all-new method of EV production, and Honda planned a $15-billion investment to create a battery supply chain near its factory in Alliston, Ontario, but that was put on seemingly-permanent pause in May of 2025.

Later in May, Honda’s global CEO said it no longer had a mandate to be all-electric by 2040. It will now concentrate on hybrids, with plans to introduced a next-generation hybrid system with two years, and to launch 15 new hybrid models by 2030. It will still offer some EVs in specific markets, primarily in Japan and China, but they will not be the “0” models.
