"Honda Motor is set to freeze plans to build an electric vehicle factory in Canada, Nikkei has learned, as sluggish U.S. demand pushes it to put hybrids at the center of its North American strategy. The Japanese automaker had decided in May last year to postpone by two years construction of the plant and an accompanying battery factory in Ontario. Their plans were first announced in April 2024 and were originally slated to start up as early as 2028. Seeing market conditions as unlikely to improve in the short term, Honda decided to indefinitely suspend the project, and has entered talks with the Canadian government. Scrapping it entirely is on the table, depending on how North American EV policies move. Honda had expected to invest a total of 15 billion Canadian dollars ($11 billion) in the EV plant, with a planned capacity of 240,000 vehicles a year, and the battery factory. It had acquired the land and was set to receive financial support from Canada."
