Honda, Sony cancel joint Afeela electric vehicles

Sony Honda Mobility has officially canceled the development of its Afeela 1 and Afeela 2 electric vehicles, marking a significant setback for the joint venture. The decision stems from Honda's earlier cancellation of three other EV models planned for US production. Without the planned integration of certain Honda technologies and assets, the Afeela project is no longer deemed viable. This move leaves the future of Sony's automotive ambitions uncertain, especially after the high-profile $89,900 Afeela 1 concept was revealed. Customers who placed deposits will receive full refunds.
