Honda, the manufacturer of highly efficient gasoline engines is quite skeptical about electric cars are the future of the automobile. The president of Honda Research & Development, Tomohiko Kawanabe, explained that the lack of confidence in the technology of electric vehicles and it is doubtful that consumer acceptance of inconvenience to the driving range and limited their time with supported. “

While researching Kawanabe, said that Honda was electric vehicles, he said he still can not recommend them because of limitations in scope and methods of “supplies.” As CEO of the statement made previously reported that Ferrari Ferrari are reluctant acceptance of hybrid technology, Honda also makes the same vehicles and power in the United States of America to sell. The reason for this is that it has strict emissions standards in California, where major car manufacturers have a total volume of 60 000 plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles in its entirety by 2012 or stroke as recent sale in 2014.

Honda has developed batteries for electric cars in the last 22 years and took over the EV electric cars in America and Japan hired in the 1990s. The car had a range between 160 210 km on a single charge, which is impressive even by today’s standards. It was alleged by those who loved them, but they ran the program was stopped. Honda has been changed mid2000s their priorities in relation to the development of hybrid vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

The hydrogen car is what Honda considers the ultimate zero-emission vehicles. I guess it was after all the digital work and the results of running an electric car for a long time indeed before any Sun

This is in contrast to the thought of Nissan. They believe their Nissan Leaf is the first step toward a future in electric cars will eventually be a turnover of nearly 500,000 units a year worldwide in 2012. Renault-Nissan Carlos Ghosn said electric vehicles 10% of the global automotive market of passengers in 2020.

This could be the makings of a VHS or Betamax new Blu-Ray, or other type of video format war, and someone is bound to lose. For me personally, and those who never want to travel long distances in electric vehicles as they remain limited in scope. And it’s not really zero-emission by itself, unless the power source is clean as solar or hydropower. If it is ultimately from a coal, diesel or even a gas with low emissions of the plant, while still defeated the ultimate goal. You can save the environment, where you drive, but still consume more energy, which is somewhere that is not very environmentally friendly.

We could also use batteries in electric vehicles of its nickel mines in Canada, sent to China to tell the processing and packaging, and in Japan for another round of packaging on the Sanyo, Japan, then at the car factory. Then, after assembly of the vehicle is in America, Canada (a complete circle for nickel in batteries), Europe and elsewhere exported around the world. Can you really mapping the carbon footprint of the battery, which is in the electric vehicle? He travels around the world where we are before we get to use it.

And has anyone really know if the batteries are properly recycled after they have completed their life? These batteries can be sold to traders in India who work cheap and not very environmentally friendly to be in their means of recycling batteries to nickel in scrap. In our wet weather, batteries are not even very long life. As I said earlier, it has so long held our hand phones as they are consumer friendly.

My vote is with Honda, but I do not like hybrid technology that both Honda and Toyota seem to favor. Why have two engines to produce 45mpg if you can correctly, even with a small gasoline engine fuel-efficient 55mpg? This vote of confidence regardless of the result of a decade from now.
