Meanwhile, Honda's luxury arm—Acura—started sales of the Acura ZDX model from 83 units last month. This brings the total to 695 EVs for the Japanese group.

Honda and Acura EVs are based on GM's Ultium platform
The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX all-electric models in the U.S. are based on General Motors' Ultium platform and are produced at GM factories. The two models will be used to jump-start Honda's electrification, which at a later point will rely on Honda's in-house platform.
This is the early beginning for the two models on the market. The performance-oriented Acura ZDX Type S is scheduled for first deliveries in June.
Nonetheless, even now, the combined EV sales of Honda and Acura represented about 0.5% of their total sales in May. This share is expected to improve in the following months.
American Honda also noted positive general results, with 127,129 sales last month (up 6.4% year-over-year) and 577,539 year-to-date (up 11.1%).
Acura and Honda BEV sales last month (YOY change):
- Acura ZDX: 83 (new)

The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX are based on General Motors's Ultium platform and are produced at GM's factories using lithium-ion batteries produced in North America (Ultium Cells).
This partnership allowed the Japanese company to accelerate electrification and catch on to the $7,500 federal tax credit for both models (as reported here and here).
