I wouldn't recommend going here if you want a Prologue or EV. The staff are not knowledgeable about EVs and discourage you from buying or leasing one. They also gave us bad advice on the access of chargers. More

We regret to hear about your experience with the charger selection for your Honda Prologue. At the time of purchase, customers are given the choice between a home charger or $750 in charging credits. Once that selection is finalized and the sale is reported to Honda, we’re unfortunately unable to make any changes to the choice. Most customers take some time to research which option best fits their lifestyle and charging needs before taking delivery, as availability can vary by location. Thank you for your time and understanding - Lia Honda of Albany

They damaged my car while it was in the shop and they didn't show me the full damage, then I had to threaten to call the manufacturer to get them to fix it properly. Dishonorable behavior. More
