Japan's Honda expects to book extra costs of almost $16 billion as it recalibrates its electric vehicle strategy. It blamed US policy changes and tariffs in part, as well as reduced competitiveness in Asia.

I am quite tempted by the VW e-Golf as a Fit replacement. But the battery size is too small for me living in a rural area and I'd still need an ICE.

Ah that's too bad.. yeah it's really hard to find hatchbacks these days which is strange because they were pretty popular. To get a decent hatchback now you have to buy a luxury automobile lol. They're so fun to drive too, I drive mine like the god damn Dukes of Hazzard and it's fun to see people's faces.
