Honda reports 612 sales of the Prologue model in the U.S. in May, its first full month on the market after the initial 93 units were delivered in the last days of April.

Meanwhile, Honda's luxury arm—Acura—started sales of the Acura ZDX model from 83 units last month. This brings the total to 695 EVs for the Japanese group.

Honda and Acura EVs are based on GM's Ultium platform

The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX all-electric models in the U.S. are based on General Motors' Ultium platform and are produced at GM factories. The two models will be used to jump-start Honda's electrification, which at a later point will rely on Honda's in-house platform.

This is the early beginning for the two models on the market. The performance-oriented Acura ZDX Type S is scheduled for first deliveries in June.

Nonetheless, even now, the combined EV sales of Honda and Acura represented about 0.5% of their total sales in May. This share is expected to improve in the following months.

American Honda also noted positive general results, with 127,129 sales last month (up 6.4% year-over-year) and 577,539 year-to-date (up 11.1%).
