Sony‑Honda joint EV venture collapses as Afeela models are cancelled
Sony and Honda have scrapped their Afeela EV joint venture, halting development of both the Afeela 1 sedan and a second model. The cancellation follows Honda's shift away from its U.S. electrification push, forcing the partners to scale down SHM and reassign staff. The move highlights the volatility of sub‑brand EV bets even from legacy automakers.
