April 5, 2022 – General Motors and Honda will work together to build a number of affordable EVs using GM’s next-generation Ultium battery technology on a new global architecture.
The partnership will is expected to potentially drive down the cost of some jointly-developed EVs to below $30,000, according to GM’s Vice President of Electric and Autonomous Vehicles, Ken Morris.
With Honda historically focusing on hybrids and research on both solid-state battery and fuel cell research, it makes perfect sense to partner with another automaker already pushing forward with electrification rather than invest completely on its own. The first Ultium-powered vehicles built on this shared architecture will go on sale beginning in 2027.
