Honda commits $3.5bn to battery venture with LG, $700m to Ohio EV retooling

Honda Clarity Fuel Cell

The automaker’s Ohio plants will form the hub of an expansion into electrified vehicles but sales are not expected to start until 2026.

Honda’s Anna Engine Plant will produce the battery case which will receive battery modules from the Honda / LG venture for installation at the Marysville Auto Plant. The completed battery units will then be fitted to cars produced at both Marysville and East Liberty plants.

The Ohio sites will form Honda’s North American EV hub, with knowledge and experience to be shared with other sites on the continent as the automaker pursues a goal of selling only battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles there by 2040.
