Japan's Honda expects to book extra costs of almost $16 billion as it recalibrates its electric vehicle strategy. It blamed US policy changes and tariffs in part, as well as reduced competitiveness in Asia.

I currently drive an 08 Honda Fit and I'm looking into getting a used EV. Being happy with the Fit I was looking at Honda's EV options and it is sadly lacking.

Kia and Hyundai seem to be the big EV movers but I will admit to a large bias against them

I also have a Fit and really like it, I wish they would just make a damn electric one it would be great.

I am quite tempted by the VW e-Golf as a Fit replacement. But the battery size is too small for me living in a rural area and I'd still need an ICE.

Ah that's too bad.. yeah it's really hard to find hatchbacks these days which is strange because they were pretty popular. To get a decent hatchback now you have to buy a luxury automobile lol. They're so fun to drive too, I drive mine like the god damn Dukes of Hazzard and it's fun to see people's faces.

Just gave my 08 Fit to my niece for her first car. I couldn't find anything new to satisfactorily replace it, so I just took my wife's car and let her pick out a new one. The Fit was the overall best car I've ever had. I'd be all over a gas/eelctric hybrid Fit.
