It is believed that Honda is targetting only a 15-mile emissions-free range for its upcoming plug-in hybrid set to debut on the next Accord. What is known about this system is that it is a big lea-forward from the current mild-hybrid, IMA system. This allows the hybrid to operate on both electric-only and gasoline-only modes and a combined gas+electric mode. The electric only mode will reach as far as 15 miles claimed by Honda. The engine is a 4-cylinder and the battery pack is lithium-ion. More information to come in the coming months.
