A new Toyota EV has been spotted testing at Toyota's European design center. It looks like Toyota's Small SU EV concept they revealed a while back.

Even Honda has had to hook up with GM to bring their first EV to the showroom - and that's another alliance that would have been unheard of just a few years ago.

Though there is a history of Honda and GM cooperating. In the early/mid 2000s Honda provided Pilot/Odyssey V6 engines to GM for use in the Saturn Vue.

The two formed a strategic alliance to develop hydrogen fuel-cell technology in 2013. I vaguely remember them collaborating on autonomous vehicles as well.
