Wtf am I supposed to replace my aging Odyssey with then. It's perfect for PHEV most days it never goes more than a few miles and when I really drive it were don't hundreds to thousands of miles.

I don't like the Sienna, the pacifica is trash, the ID Buzz is a maybe but does not seem as practical, and KIAs still catch fire to often for me to trust.

They don’t want you to pick an electric drivetrain. It would mean you no longer are a constant customer for oil changes, brake pads, and any other regular ICE maintenance. They want you on a gas car for life because you will always be a constant revenue stream.

Sure, but for a number of customers (and increasing year over year), that's not an option. I'm not choosing between an ICE Honda and all the other non-Honda. I'm choosing between an electric Honda or an electric non-Honda.

If they don't want my money at all, then sure. But this is the sort of decision making that killed Sears and Blockbuster. Society is moving in a particular direction. They can keep up with the trends, or die.

I spend as much on maintenance for my Honda Clarity as I do on my Odyssey. I just want to be able to skip the gas station unless im doing a road trip, and I want regen breaking so I dont burn through pads and rotors all the time.
