Neighbor in my community just picked up a Prologue and it looks nice. Chatted with him briefly - first EV, leased, lifetime Honda/Acura guy, no idea it was platform shared with GM, likes the way it drives. He was considering the ZDX but the price for new (to him) tech was a bit too much so he went Prologue.

 

I've probably seen a bunch of Prologue's on the road and didn't even know what they were

 

I wasn't really aware of the existence of the ZDX (heard about it but don't recall seeing pics). Saw one a few days ago and was wondering what it was because it looked really really good. The price though is way too high imo.

I have been seeing the prologues a lot more. I think I see more Prologues than the Mach E and ID4.

 

The Prologue looks really good. I think it will be a huge hit for Honda.

 

I have not had the opportunity to drive a Prologue, but I have been a passenger in one and it was a pleasant place to be. The owner was very happy with it and it wasn't his first EV.

 

10% market share in the U.S. is pathetic China is going to curb stomp the entire auto industry if American auto doesn't wake up.

 

They've got the market share American consumers are willing to give to EVs at the current time.

 

honda prologue looks great.

in other news, my 20 something nephew in the uk just got a model 3. he's ecstatic.

 

Ram charger

Looks like they’re releasing the “worst of both worlds” first over the EV ram due to higher interest from customers for PHEV.

 

article says the electric ram will have a 229kwh battery. that might be the biggest i've heard of outside the tesla semi.

 

500 mile range!!

 

That is insanity. 12% larger than the Hummer EV's battery, which already weighs more than a Civic. An Accord weighs 12% more than a Civic, so I guess we have a frame of reference for the Ram's battery.

 

yeah and likely 10,000lb weight.

 

Polestar wants to poach Tesla customers with this trade-in promo

Polestar wants to poach some of Tesla’s customers with a new trade-in promotion for leases on its latest electric vehicle (EV) and first SUV.

On its website last week, the automaker said buyers can save up to $20,000 when trading in a Tesla vehicle and leasing a Polestar 3 SUV.

The promotion combines the $5,000 Polestar Conquest Bonus, which is available for eligible customers who currently own or lease a Tesla vehicle, and the $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, as detailed by the company. Polestar also says that the bonus expires on February 28, and interested parties should contact their local retailer for more details.

The Polestar 3 is rated for 350 miles of range, 517hp, and a 4.5-second 0 to 60 mph acceleration. The company began producing the vehicle in China last year, and it’s building the Polestar 3 at a factory in South Carolina that will help the automaker dodge recently enacted import tariffs.

Tesla also granted Supercharger access to Polestar’s vehicles in October, significantly expanding the number of available charging stalls for owners of the company’s vehicles.

Last month, Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller spoke out against Elon Musk’s recent involvement in politics in an interview with Bloomberg, saying that the Tesla CEO’s actions were “pure arrogance” and “totally unacceptable.”

Throughout the first part of 2024, Polestar parent company Volvo proceeded to sell its remaining shares of the EV company to its own parent company, Chinese automaker Geely. As a result, the EV maker faced significant executive shake-ups and restructuring, amidst difficulty in getting its vehicles delivered and generating positive cash flow.

Still, the automaker has lofty plans for the coming months, last year saying that it would aim to launch EVs in seven new markets in 2025
