Honda on Thursday announced deals with two major charging networks in preparation for the launch of the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric SUVs in early 2024. Agreements with EVgo and Electrify America will give Honda and Acura EV drivers “single-app access” to charging stations on both networks, according to a Honda press release. Prologue and ZDX owners will be able to use the HondaLink and Acura EV apps, respectively, to pay for charging, redeem credits, enroll in subscription plans, and any other necessary functions at stations on both networks, as well as their roaming partners, the release said. 2024…
Kia plans a full lineup of electric vehicles covering a wide range of market segments, especially crossovers and SUVs of all sizes. The Korean automaker has pledged to have 15 electric models in its global lineup by the end of 2027, including nine models badged EV1 to EV9, according to recent trademark applications filed around the world. Kia has unveiled three of the nine EV-badged models so far – the EV6, EV9, and more recently, the EV5. More are on the way, and a set of spy shots from late August suggest a subcompact crossover SUV smaller than the EV5 is next on…

Tesla has broken ground on the site of its planned futuristic diner with a drive-in theater and Supercharger station. Yes, it sounds like that crazy project is actually happening. This project has been in the works for a long time. In 2018, Elon Musk said that Tesla planned to open an “old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in Los Angeles.” It was yet another “Is he joking?” kind of Elon Musk idea, but he wasn’t kidding. A few months later, Tesla applied for building permits for “a restaurant and Supercharger station” at a…
By now, you probably know pretty much all there is to know about the facelifted Tesla Model 3 that debuted in late August in Europe, the Middle East, and other global markets – not yet in North America, though. The so-called Project Highland brings a series of enhancements when it comes to design, aerodynamics, efficiency, range, comfort, features, and more. It’s actually surprising how much the Model 3 has changed both inside and out, and this walkaround video courtesy of Mr. Automotive does a great job of highlighting what’s new on Tesla’s compact executive sedan. The full tour of the…
Some areas of the United States amaze when in comes to the adoption rate of plug-in electric cars, far exceeding the average level. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) data from December 2022 – highlighted by the Department of Energy (DOE)’s Vehicle Technologies Office – in four counties, light-duty all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle market penetration exceeds 30 percent. All four happen to be in California. The top one is Santa Clara County with a 35 share of rechargeable cars registered among 2022 model year vehicles. The next one is Marin County with 34 percent, followed by…
Honda reveals its Prologue EV, and we have lots of photos, details, and first impressions. The Toyota Corolla Cross goes Nightshade. The Kia EV9 gets a base price. And we look at what it takes to legally take your eyes off driving in the Mercedes EQS. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. In a first look at the 2024 Honda Prologue, Green Car Reports sees it to be right on the money in terms of what it needs to be as both a step up from the CR-V Hybrid and a gateway model to Honda’s own upcoming dedicated…
If you’re lured in by the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Kia EV6, or even the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model Y, the 2024 Honda Prologue simply isn’t for you. That’s because you won’t find design overtures effectively remaking the shape of the vehicle around an EV skateboard platform. Or splashy styling themes that look drawn from gaming or music. Or a minimalist interface. Or super-fast charging. Or a frunk. What DO you get? In a private, in-person preview earlier this month set up by Honda, I got a first look at the Prologue, as well as…
