Does Honda sell any other BEVs in other markets, or is this it?

Isn't that just a badge engineered Blazer?

Yes and the biggest difference is that the Prologue supports Android Auto and Car Play. The Blazer EV has Android Automotive.

Android Automotive does not preclude Android Auto / Carplay. Both are available in my Polestar 2 (which uses Android Automotive). If it isn't available in the Blazer, the blame lies with GM.

Even some other GM models with Android Automotive have CarPlay/Android Auto, such as the Cadillac Lyriq. They'll likely remove it the next time those get a refresh though.

Yeah it really pisses me off how every car company is going back to their own shitty infotainment because using android auto or carplay means they can't collect and sell your data as easily. Like fuck me for just wanting to have the navigation and music apps of my choice on my phone seamlessly integrate with my driving experience, I guess.

No one was buying their map subscriptions. They want that sweet subscription revenue. In the long run it’s just going to cost them customers.

The Prologue runs Android Automotive. In fact, it's listed as a GM model in the Play Store.

It ALSO supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The Chevy models however only support CarPlay.
