Honda expects electric vehicle production to commence in 2028. Once operational, the EV plant will have a production capacity of 240,000 EVs per year, and the EV battery plant will have a capacity of 36 GWh per year
In total, the arrays will supply 361,000 MWh of electricity annually to 16 Commonwealth agencies and reduce their carbon footprint by 157,800 metric tons per year – the equivalent of 34,000 gas-powered cars
