Southern California is one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle markets in the country, and drivers across the Inland Empire are taking notice. Whether you commute from Montclair to downtown Los Angeles, run errands around Ontario, or shuttle the family from Rancho Cucamonga to Claremont, the 2026 Honda Prologue electric SUV was built with exactly your lifestyle in mind. At Metro Honda in Montclair, CA, we want to make sure you have all the information you need before deciding whether the Prologue is the right move for your household.
What Makes the Honda Prologue Different From Other Electric Vehicles
The Honda Prologue is the first fully electric SUV in the Honda lineup, designed from the ground up to deliver a premium ownership experience. Unlike plug-in hybrids, the Prologue runs entirely on battery power, with no tailpipe emissions and no gas station stops. Built on the Ultium platform developed with General Motors, the Prologue carries the Honda reputation for reliability into the world of zero-emission driving.
The exterior is bold and modern, featuring a wide stance, LED headlamps, and an elevated profile that fits right in on California freeways. Inside, you will find a spacious cabin with a large 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display, wireless smartphone charging, the standard Honda Sensing suite of driver-assist features, and ample cargo space. Three trim levels are available: EX, Touring, and Elite, each offering features that cater to both commuters and families.
Electric Vehicle Range and Charging: What to Expect in the Inland Empire
One of the most common questions we hear from drivers near Ontario, Fontana, and Chino is: how far can the Prologue actually go on a single charge? The 2026 Honda Prologue delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 308 miles on the front-wheel-drive EX and Touring trims, while all-wheel-drive versions are rated at up to 294 miles, and the Elite at 283 miles.* For most Inland Empire commuters, that means multiple days of normal driving before you need to plug in.
Charging the Prologue is straightforward. A Level 2 home charger makes a full overnight charge easy, so you can start most days with a full battery. For longer road trips, the Prologue supports DC fast charging that can add about 65 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes and take the battery from 20 to 80 percent in about 35 minutes under ideal conditions.* The Prologue can also use the Tesla Supercharger network and other North American Charging Standard fast chargers with the Honda NACS adapter.
The Inland Empire benefits from one of California's strongest public charging networks, with stations available at shopping centers in Montclair, Ontario Mills, and throughout San Bernardino County. The Honda Prologue also comes equipped with Google built-in navigation, which automatically routes you to available charging stations when your battery level is low.

Why Inland Empire Families Are Choosing this Electric SUV
The Honda Prologue is not just a technology statement. It is a practical, everyday vehicle designed for real life. Families in Montclair and surrounding communities have embraced it for several reasons.
First, the total cost of ownership is lower than that of most traditional gasoline-powered SUVs. Electricity costs significantly less per mile than gasoline, and electric vehicles generally require less maintenance because there is no oil to change, fewer brake replacements thanks to regenerative braking, and no timing belt or spark plugs to worry about.
Second, the Prologue simply drives beautifully. The instant torque delivery from the electric motor creates a smooth, responsive acceleration that feels effortless whether you are merging onto the 10 Freeway or navigating through a parking lot.
