Honda announced plans Thursday to double investment in electric vehicles to $65 billion by 2030 as the Japanese auto giant seeks to go fully electric.

The company also has a partnership in EVs with Sony, and is exploring collaboration with rival Nissan as they face a “once-in-a-century” upheaval in the car industry. And “as of 2030, Honda will reduce the cost of the battery to be procured in North America by more than 20 percent compared to the cost of current batteries”.

At the same time, however, there has been a slowdown in the EV market on the back of consumer concern about high prices, reliability, range and a lack of charging points. Toyota is also hoping to mass-produce solid-state batteries, a potentially hugely important technological breakthrough that could mean faster charging times and greater range.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
