Jaguar will use Tesla Supercharger stations

A large number of electric cars requires solving the issue of fast charging stations, and Tesla is a leader in that field, as it recently installed its 50,000th Supercharger in California. They will be used by all brands whose cars have adopted the NACS charging standard, such as Honda, which has already done so, and from now on, Jaguar.

From 2025, all Jaguar electric cars will adopt the NACS charging standard developed by Tesla, but will only use charging stations in North America. Jaguar has announced the launch of three new SUV models, which will go on sale from 2025. Also, Jaguar says that buyers of the current I-Pace, a model that will end its life by mid-2025, will receive a special adapter so that the car can be powered at the Tesla Supercharger. That will happen already next year.

A large number of Supercharger stations attracts other car manufacturers to accept the NACS standard, and the British brand Land Rover is one of them. The British car manufacturer announced that its new electric cars will be equipped with technology that will allow charging at Suercharger stations.

Honda Prelude Could Be Back Soon

In 1978, Honda introduced its first car with a moonroof, the Honda Prelude. This two-door coupe was used by the Japanese manufacturer to introduce its sales chain, the Honda Verno. It was produced until 2001, when production was stopped with the arrival of the fourth-generation Integra. Now, 22 years later, there is a possible comeback of this car.

According to the latest information and speculations, Honda seems to be making a comeback, as the company trademarked the name Prelude. If we look at it with optimism, we can start to wonder if the Japanese manufacturer is really preparing the return of this iconic model.

There are many questions, but few answers. Many are wondering if it will remain a coupe with an internal combustion engine or will it become an SUV with an electric drive? So far, Honda has not made any announcements.

Following the competition, Honda must start producing new or return old models as fully electric. Currently, the Japanese manufacturer has announced the arrival of its first all-electric car, the Honda Prologue, which is expected to hit the market next year.

Honda previously announced that the company’s long-term plan is to produce a Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) lineup by 2040. That may be too late considering that competitors have announced a transition to all-electric cars by 2030. Ten years is a long time, but maybe Honda has an ace up its sleeve.

Japanese car manufacturer Honda has entered the world of aviation. At the recently held European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, it presented the HondaJet Elite II aircraft. The company says that it is the best plane in its class.

The aircraft has a composite body and is powered by two GE Honda HF120 engines. Elite II can easily take off from runways 1,128 meters long and has a range of 2,865 km. Honda says that the plane has the largest cabin in its class, enough for six passengers, and that it is the most economical.

When it comes to the interior, customers can choose between Onyx or Steel design, both of which feature an “executive club” configuration with two-tone leather seats that can be adjusted for maximum comfort. The plane is equipped with Bongiovi aviation sound system, which makes the passenger experience better.

It is equipped with the Garmin G3000 package and automated systems for ice, lighting and pressure. In addition, the Elite II will be offered with the Emergency Autoland function, which “automatically controls and lands the aircraft without human intervention.” The system is designed to rescue passengers in a situation where the pilot is unable to do so. The volume of the luggage space is 1,756 liters.

Honda has been certified by the US Space Administration for aviation, and is expecting certification from the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency.
