In a rather surprising announcement, Honda has revealed its plan to switch to all-electric power by 2040, covering both its two-wheeler and car divisions. This news is unexpected because Japanese manufacturers have traditionally hesitated to fully embrace electric mobility, particularly in India, where they've focused more on hybrid technology. Nonetheless, this move is certainly a welcome one. Here are six other major automobile manufacturers who have also pledged to go all-electric soon:

Jaguar Land Rover (2030)

Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover has extended its all-electric mobility deadline from 2025 to 2030. The brand plans to launch a range of SUVs, sedans, and four-door grand tourers based on its long-wheelbase JEA architecture. Both Jaguar and Land Rover already offer several hybrid and EV models, such as the Jaguar F-Pace and the 2024 Range Rover.

Aston Martin (2030)

Aston Martin, the luxury sports car manufacturer, has set a 2030 deadline for electrifying its core range of vehicles. However, the brand has indicated that there may still be special edition ICE vehicles after this date. Currently, Aston Martin offers the Valhalla, a hybrid model, and plans to launch its first EV by 2025.

Bentley (2030)

Bentley has also announced plans to switch to all-electric vehicles by 2030. The company will completely phase out ICE vehicles and focus solely on electric and hybrid models from 2026 onwards.

Lexus (2030)

Toyota's luxury division, Lexus, aims to go all-electric in North America, Europe, and China by 2030, with complete electrification in all markets by 2035. Currently, Lexus offers a variety of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and all-electric vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz (2030)

Mercedes-Benz is one of the few major carmakers which has fully embraced electric vehicles. Ahead of its 2030 all-electric goal, the German brand already offers a wide range of EVs, including an electric version of the G-Class. However, the brand has hinted that it may continue to sell ICE vehicles if market demand persists.

Rolls-Royce (2030)

Perhaps the most significant news comes from Rolls-Royce, the epitome of luxury automobiles, which has announced its intention to fully electrify its lineup by 2030. The company recently launched its first all-electric vehicle, the Spectre, last year.
