Honda Debuts New Global 'Honda 0' EV Series With Two Concept Models

Honda has presented the 'Honda 0 Series, a new global EV series launching in 2026, represented by the world premiere of two concept models, Saloon and Space-Hub, at CES 2024. In 2026, Honda will introduce a model of the Honda 0 Series based on the Saloon concept in North America, followed by model introductions in Japan, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East and South America. 

The models will feature a high-density battery that will offer ample range while minimising battery size.

For the Honda 0 Series models launching in the late-2020s, fast-charging from 15% to 80% of battery capacity will be shortened to about 10-15 minutes.

Honda is targeting to minimize the degradation of battery capacity to less than 10% after 10 years of use.

Honda also debuted a new H mark logo that will be used exclusively for the next-generation EV models.

Utilizing AI and driver data, the vehicle will learn the user’s preferences as well as behaviors and tendencies while driving, allowing the vehicle to make suggestions to enhance the ownership experience.

Toshihiro Mibe, Global CEO of Honda., says: “The mobility we dream of is not an extension of the trend of ‘thick, heavy, but smart’ EVs. We will create a completely new value from zero based on thin, light and wise as the foundation for our new Honda 0 EV series to further advance the joy and freedom of mobility to the next level.”

“We have gone back to basics and formulated the Honda 0 Series with a design for the new era,” adds Shinji Aoyama, Global EVP of Honda. “A bold and pure proportion that from the first glance is overwhelmingly different from other EVs to evoke a new perspective for people.”

The Honda 0 Series will introduce new advancements in design, automated driving, connected technologies, performance, and battery efficiency.
