Sony and Honda are about to team up to develop Electric Vehicles! As part of the latest developments, Sony and Honda have agreed to work together on a Battery Electric Vehicle project, the plan of which is to release a car to the market by 2025. The two Japanese companies said in a statement that they would form a joint venture to develop and sell electric vehicles. The joint venture will take place this year and the first model from the joint venture will hit the market in 2025.
However, it will most likely not carry the Sony badge on the bonnet. The deal allows Honda to build cars, while Sony will handle the mobile services, entertainment and other technology segments. An official press release will happen soon.
Sony and Honda produce electric cars together
The announcement comes at a time when Sony’s biggest rival, Apple, is also rumored to be working on its own EV. While Apple’s plan to go electric is expected to materialize later in the decade, Sony and Honda will have cars ready by 2025. Honda, which recently supplied the Championship team Red Bull Honda F1 world champion, already has experience producing electric vehicles in some of its global markets.
On the other hand, Sony is known for producing the popular PlayStation console and some of the world’s best entertainment devices and devices. Sony recently introduced the Vision-S Coupe as its first electric vehicle at CES 2022. The company has been testing prototypes for several years now, and it looks like a joint venture with Honda could see the car. This car becomes a reality. The Vision-S is essentially a four-door coupe with a Tesla-like appearance.
With Sony taking the lead in the EV sector, we still have to see what their rivals from Southeast Asia and Western markets have in store for us. Brands like Xiaomi, Oppo and several others have expressed interest in building and selling their own electric vehicles. In the Indian scene, Ola has gone a long way with its electric motorbike, jumping straight from its ride-hailing service. And with the right pricing, it showed that a tech company building and selling its electric vehicle could attract a wide range of customers.
