TLDR:

- Honda forecast until 2030 will be the very early years of EV development.
- 2030-2050 will be the matured and peak period of EVs technology.
- Honda discover that by using electric motor to power the car, they can reduce the car cost massively by omitting/eliminating the costly CVT gearbox. The petrol/diesel engine will be used to just power the elecric motor and small size battery in the near future.
- Honda discovered the latest next gen hybrid tech can significantly reduce the overall cost production of each vehicles.
- ADAS comprehensive safety feature is significantly cheaper and more efficient to be implemented in EV vehicle instead of ICE vehicle.
- Expect Honda to transition to next gen hybrid more aggressively from 2025-2035 before slowly migrating to full EV in the distant future.

* min 31:30 Honda bos reconfirm, mid to long term perspective: EV is the BEST solution. For now they will focus on transitioning tech; next gen hybrid.

Yay, so now i still continue enjoy with my ICE first

future - 2030 the early years so plenty of time to let it really matured first

neway thanks to those early adopter white mice feedbacks and comments to make it better for us.

so 2030 only buy?

is it like the Nissan Kicks e-POWER instead of BEV?

They dun need oversized battery to power car. Use small engine cukup to charge battery. No need to find chargers or worry can’t finish the journey. Less wear and tear or battery degradation.

Yes. Japanese moving one step at a time towards this. For now next gen Hybrid will be key player until 2035

Maybe by that time got modular battery d.

You go to charging station, pay a fees, to change the battery instead of charging. Then continue on the road
Then maybe is even faster than ice pump petrol

i think the e-POWER is the best solution.. more practical compare to pure EV, at least during these few years in Malaysia

honda malaysia ke?

is not too late, still main hydrogen?

Might as well you bring a long one of those pasar malam portable generators

the inability to adapt to rapidly changing markets led to downfall

TLDR: Eh boleh cut cost, kita buat

Hahah

Early adopters of unproven technology also bodo...

looks like they going the range extender route like nissan kick

current batteries might be cheaper due to being "old tech" by then.
solid state batteries will be high end
sodium ion will be low end
but when they first appear the price chasm will be huge

Good, give us Honda City EV for RM90k pls
Not Made in China please

That would be the Nissan E-Power. But its never got traction since introduction.

Honda forecast HEV (Hybrid EV) is going to dominate the market by year 2030, BEV (Battery EV) is only about 10-20% of total sales. Honda still die die believe in Hybrid system.
