Slowing demand for EVs and US tariffs impact on Canada’s auto sector force the Japanese automaker to postpone plans for an EV supply chain in Ontario, dealing a severe blow to Canadian EV ambitions.
Honda said its plan to build an EV supply chain in Alliston, Ont. — which was first announced in April 2024 — would be paused for about two years, due to uncertainty caused by tariffs.
Honda announced the postponement on Tuesday after forecasting a 59 per cent profit decline in the current fiscal year.
