Honda has postponed a $15-billion electric vehicle project in Ontario, citing market demand, and is shifting some production of its popular CR-V model intended for the U.S. market to its Ohio plant because of tariffs.

Among the major government-backed EV-making investments announced in the past few years, Honda’s stands to be both the biggest and the best value from a Canadian perspective

Honda’s CA$15 billion commitment was touted by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “largest auto investment in Canada’s history.” It was to include a battery plant with an annual capacity of 36 GWh while an EV assembly plant would have been able to build as many as 240,000 vehicles per year from 2028.
