General Motors and Honda partner with the plan to build the latest affordable electric cars; this partnership will result in millions of vehicles being manufactured by 2027. The news builds on GM’s intentions to start producing two electric SUVs for Honda in 2024, the Honda Prologue and an Acura vehicle using GM’s Ultrium-branded improved battery technology.

The automakers first announced their collaboration two years ago, intending to develop two Honda-branded electric vehicles based on GM’s Ultrium powertrain. The plan was that Honda would design the new EVs’ exteriors and with the platform built to Honda’s standards. They’ll be made in GM’s North American plants, with sales starting in the 2024 model year.
