Honda and Sony Unveil Their New — and Doomed — California-Only Afeela Electric Car
Honda and Sony’s Afeela 1 electric car is boring, too expensive, and will only be sold in California, so why would anyone buy one?

Honda doesn’t seem to believe that electric cars are the future. Click the “Electrified” tab on their website, and you’ll see five hybrids and only one fully electric car, the Prologue — a car that Honda didn’t develop. Instead, it’s mostly a re-bodied Chevrolet Blazer EV, sharing the same platform, battery, motors, and general dimensions, and though an in-house Honda EV platform is supposedly coming in 2026, they haven’t shared any details of those production cars. Internationally, they’ve put more energy into making EVs — the highlight being their retro Honda E city car — but all have been sales flops.
