Honda China-produced electric vehicles will be exported back to Japan
According to a report by Japanese media "RESPONSE" on March 4: Honda Automobile will export electric vehicles produced in China to the Japanese market this spring, following the "Odyssey".
The "Yomiuri Shimbun" has reported on the front page of its economic section with the title "Honda Re-imports Chinese Electric Vehicles, the First Domestic Manufacturer to Achieve Recovery by Expanding Product Types".
According to the report, this is expected to be the first time that a Japanese manufacturer imports Chinese-made electric vehicles "re-import" into Japan, and in addition to small cars, it will expand the electric vehicle lineup, catching up with Nissan in the electric vehicle field.
The electric vehicles entering the Japanese market are based on the "e:NP series" which has been sold in China since 2022. The range when fully charged is expected to exceed 500 kilometers, and the price range is adjusted to about 5 million yen (about 220,000 RMB) to 6 million yen (about 260,000 RMB).
Honda sells two electric vehicle models in Japan, the commercial vehicle "N-VAN e:" and the passenger car "N-ONE e:", both of which are micro-cars.
The "Yomiuri Shimbun" stated: "By re-exporting Chinese-made electric vehicles back to Japan, Honda aims to improve the production efficiency of the Chinese factory, which is currently performing poorly in sales."
