Report: Honda halts plan for $15 billion EV factory in Ontario

View descriptionShare
 

Honda Motors has reportedly suspended plans to build an EV plant in Canada. The move comes after U.S. demand slowed, pushing the Japanese automaker 'to put hybrids at the centre of its North American strategy', according to a report by Nikkei Asia. Honda had already paused the plant in May of 2025. We get instant reaction from Flavio Volpe, the President of the Automotive Parts and Manufacturers Association of Canada.
