Honda President Toshihiro Mibe has clarified that the company is not abandoning its EV strategy but is adjusting investment scale and product planning in response to market slowdown. While the R&D budget for pure electric models has been reduced from 10 trillion yen to 7 trillion yen and certain projects cancelled, Honda maintains that EVs remain the optimal long-term solution for carbon neutrality. Concurrently, the automaker will accelerate hybrid vehicle deployment, targeting over 2 million hybrid sales by 2030, which will constitute the main business until then. Battery EV R&D will continue concurrently to ensure technological readiness and market transition.
