Not expecting gold here, but it's revealing that Honda ditched their partnership with GM for Sony.

They're taking too long to deliver. It's been years already. Whatever they come up with will be outdated by 2026.

Only way they can compete is if the EV market bubble pops in China. As much as I love Sony, good luck of that happening anytime soon?

Honda E was a flop.

let's see how Sony price it's product under Honda made?

Xiaomi SU7 has been a game changer, knocked of Porsche Taycan.
Just like Taycan, Xiaomi SU7 has been achieving oustanding track record at China Local Track, from t professional track racer without modification, except using seriously better rubbers.

but amateur racer will find it hard as SU7 wire-braking is not something easy to be familiar with it's deterioration.

"The collaboration between Honda and Sony can be a turning point in the automotive industry. By combining their strengths in engineering and technology, these two iconic brands are poised to make a significant impact on the EV market."
If we look at what the Chinese giants doing in EV market NOW, i don't think these attempts may have even somehow significant effect on where EV's are going. Big impacts may only come from contents like cheap solid battery, cheap semi/quarter superconductors, cheap level5 autonomy.
