In 2022, Honda will launch its first EV using with CATL's battery in China.
Honda has also partnered with Hitachi to develop, produce, and sell motors for plug-in hybrids, petrol hybrids, and battery-electric cars.
In North America, Honda collaborated with General Motors to develop two new EVs and vehicle technology using hydrogen fuel cell.
Meanwhile, CATL has an office in Yokohama and is building a battery plant in Germany. An expansion to North America is also in the pipeline.
