Honda Motor is launching the next generation of its manufacturing in a historically unusual place for the 75-year-old Japanese automaker: Ohio.

Honda has unveiled a major initiative to expand its electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing capabilities, pledging over $1 billion in investments across its Ohio-based facilities. This strategic move underscores Honda’s commitment to sustainable transportation and solidifies its position as a key player in the rapidly growing EV market.

Honda will start operations later in late 2025 at its new EV Hub in Marysville, Ohio. The center was retooled following a $1 billion investment

The Ohio EV Hub is creating the template Honda will use as it starts building EVs at other plants all over the world.

Marysville will be the flagship global manufacturing hub of a 'Second Founding' transition, but with flexibility to build gas-powered models.

Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, known for the heroic landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, weighed in on the deadly midair collision. Ye shocked at the Grammys red carpet Sunday alongside wife and model Bianca Censori.

As Honda confirmed last April, Marysville will truly get the automaker to the point of EV mass production in North America, with a big asterisk. It has the capability to make hundreds of EVs per day, or many hundreds of gasoline models—depending on demand.

Honda is investing heavily in Ohio, and in the future of electric vehicles. McCain posted and later deleted an X post comparing Censori to a "hostage," with a rep later telling EW McCain still thinks Ye is "a vile pig." “This look is all about American exceptionalism,” she said of her pro-Trump ensemble on the Grammys red carpet.
