Honda shows off three new EVs in Tokyo, but its US plans are getting more tepid

Here is a 173-word summary of the news article: Honda unveiled three new electric vehicles at the Tokyo Mobility Show, including the 0 Series α, a smaller and cheaper version of the 0 Series EVs it had previewed earlier. However, Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe stated that the company is scaling back its EV plans for the U.S. market due to the political climate under the Trump administration, which has "moved back" EV growth by around 5 years. The other two new EVs shown were the Super-One prototype, a small and quirky hatchback aimed at Japan and Europe, and the EV Outlier electric motorcycle concept. Mibe said these models are unlikely to be sold in the U.S. due to their smaller size and lack of appeal. Honda's partnership with GM to boost battery production volume was also abruptly ended after just two models. This complicates Honda's plans to be carbon neutral by 2050, though the company is exploring technologies like direct air capture to offset emissions. Overall, Honda's U.S. EV strategy appears to be on hold for the near future.
