Report: Next Generation Honda Accord May be Offered as Extended Range Electric Car: "In the early days after the Volt concept was first unveiled, Honda stood out as being particularly hesitant to embrace the idea of electric cars. In fact their CEO at the time, Takeo Fukui, went on record saying he saw “no value in developing plug-in cars.” He also publicly disparaged the Volt concept calling it “a battery electric vehicle equipped with an unnecessary fuel engine and fuel tank.”
By Spring 2009 he had completely changed his tune when he made the announcement of a lithium-ion battery joint venture with GS Yuasa. In the fall of 2009 Honda unveiled their very own city car EV concept."
