L'arrêt brutal de Honda et GM : Un bouleversement du marché des véhicules électriques

The End of a $5 Billion Partnership: Honda and GM Part Ways on Affordable EVs

In a surprising turn of events, automotive giants Honda Motor et General Motors (GM) announced the discontinuation of their collaborative efforts to develop affordable electric vehicles (EVs).

Just a year ago, the companies had committed to a $5 billion joint venture, aiming to outpace in sales and strides in the EV market. Let’s look into the factors that led to this unexpected decision and explores the future implications for both companies.

‘s strategic shift, marked by a slower launch of several EV models, has been attributed to its focus on profitability amidst rising operational costs. The company has apparemment felt the financial strain due to increased expenses from United Auto Workers strikes, peaking at $200 million a week this month. This pressure prompted GM to retract its previous profit outlook for 2023, indicating a need to reassess and recalibrate their approach to the EV market.

and GM issued a joint statement on Wednesday, confirming their mutual decision to scrap the $5 billion plan. They emphasized their continued commitment to affordability in the EV market, despite the cessation of their partnership. Honda reassured its stakeholders and customers, stating that their goal to exclusively sell electrified vehicles by 2040 remains unchanged.

GM’s CEO, Mary Barra, during a recent earnings conference call, subtly referred to the discontinuation of their partnership with Honda. She underscored GM’s decision to shift focus from entry-level segments in the EV market, specifically mentioning the GM’s EV, which was part of the $5 billion commitment.

Despite this setback, the companies highlighted ongoing collaborative projects outside of affordable EV development. GM’s shares experienced minimal impact, while Honda’s shares saw a slight uptick in Tokyo before the announcement.

The abrupt end to Honda and GM’s partnership in affordable EV development marks a significant moment in the automotive industry, highlighting the challenges and uncertainties in the evolving EV market.

Both companies, however, are showing resilience and adaptability, with Honda focusing on their long-term electrification goals and GM recalibrating their strategies for a more profitable future.

The industry, stakeholders, and consumers alike will be keenly observing how these automotive giants navigate the shifting landscape of electric vehicles.
