Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Fit wheeled out for a brief publicity drive in Torrance, CA on late last week. There Honda Accord dressed in graphics that read "Plug-In Hybrid”. Honda did drop some specs for Accord plug-in hybrid (PHV) which we've highlighted below after jump:


  • This new hybrid system is designed for mid-size to larger vehicles and will be introduced in a future Honda model in 2012.
  • The plug-in hybrid allows for short, frequent trips in all-electric mode.
  • The Honda two-motor system continuously moves through three different modes to maximize driving efficiency: all-electric, gasoline-electric and a unique, engine direct-drive mode.
  • In all-electric mode, the vehicle uses a 6kWh lithium-ion battery and a powerful 120 kW electric motor.
  • The all-electric mode achieves a range of approximately 10-15 miles in city driving and a top speed of 62 mph.
  • Fully recharging the battery will take 3 to 4 hours using a 120-volt outlet and 1 to 1.5 hours using a 240-volt outlet.

Honda’s planning to launch a production PHV in 2013, so there's still ample time for the automaker to modify its powertrain before the vehicle debuts
