American Honda Motor said today that most all-new 2024 Honda Prologue models, the first all-electric Honda SUV, will qualify for the US $7500 EV tax credit. The federal tax credit applies to the purchase of all 2024 Prologues built after 25 February 2024. All 2024 Prologues will qualify when leased as do other EVs because of a quirk in the vastly complex, plutocrat plundered IRS tax code. Prologue is arriving at Honda dealerships in the coming weeks, with a 296-mile EPA range rating. Prices before the credit range from ~$42,000 to $52,000.
“Having the Honda Prologue qualify for the $7500 EV tax credit is great news for our customers,” said Lance Woelfer, assistant vice president of Honda National Auto Sales, American Honda Motor Company.
Long ago in April 2021, Honda global CEO, Toshihiro Mibe, announced a vision to achieve carbon-neutrality for its products and corporate activities by 2050, including key targets for sales of electrified vehicles. This vision called for the sales ratio of battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles in North America to increase from 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2035 to 100% by 2040.
Prologue’s electric vehicle platform has multi-link front and rear suspensions. Two-wheel drive models are powered by a front-mounted single motor rated at a claimed 212 hp and 236 lb.-ft. of torque.
Prologue Elite has standard all-wheel-drive (optional on EX and Touring), which adds an additional motor in the rear. This dual motor arrangement is rated at 288 horsepower and 333 lb.-ft. of torque.
The 2024 Honda Prologue EV will be the first Honda SUV to come with Google built-in, which debuted on the 2023 Honda Accord Touring hybrid. Standard on all Prologue trims, it includes apps such as Google Assistant, Google Maps and more on Google Play.[Google, Android, Android Auto, Google Maps and other marks are trademarks of Google.]
