Honda has been building cars in Canada since the 1980s, and today it builds the Civic and CR-V, but it wants to go electric and have a complete local supply chain.

Today, Honda confirmed plans to expand its manufacturing presence in Canada to build electric vehicles. The Japanese automaker announced a massive $11 billion investment—the largest single automotive investment in Canada’s history—that will lead to the creation of new plants near its existing manufacturing campus in Alliston, Ontario, with the goal of beginning EV production in 2027.

Honda currently builds the CR-V and Civic in Canada, and it will add at least two new models by 2028. There is no word yet on what vehicles will roll out of the new factory, but Automotive News quotes an industry analyst who believes that the first will be a small Honda-badged electric crossover expected to debut in 2027, followed one year later by a larger Acura electric crossover.
