The mixture of Supercharger entry and the Ionna community will assist what is about to be a rising variety of Honda and Acura EVs developed in-house and constructed at retooled services at Honda’s conventional U.S. manufacturing base in Ohio. The primary of those would be the Acura RSX compact SUV launching later this 12 months, adopted by the primary Honda 0 Collection fashions in 2026.
