Electric & Hybrid Honda Vehicles

Hybrid & Electric Honda Vehicles in Cranbrook, British Columbia

Already known for their incredible fuel efficiency and low emissions, Honda has taken it upon themselves to go one step further with a selection of environmentally friendly, “green” vehicles. These hybrid and electric vehicles offer all the same Honda power, reliability, and efficiency you know and love, while offering serious savings on fuel and emissions. So whether you’re looking for a hybrid to help lower your gas bill, or a full-on plug-in electric vehicle, you’ll find it in the Honda lineup. Read on to learn more about hybrid and electric vehicles with Cranbrook’s very own Spring Honda.

What are the different types of Honda electric powertrains?

With a goal in mind of having two-thirds of their global vehicle lineup consisting of electric vehicles by 2030, Honda has set their sights on being one of the greenest manufacturers in the world. Currently, they offer three models with some form of electric powertrain in Canada—the Accord Hybrid, Insight Hybrid, and Clarity Plug-in Hybrid—while over in Europe the Honda e has been making serious waves. For those unsure about the difference in electric powertrains, we’ve broken it down below.

Hybrid

Currently the most common type of hybrid in the Honda lineup, a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses a gas engine along with an electric motor that generates electricity when you drive. This means that as long as you’re driving, you never need to plug-in.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric

A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is similar to an HEV in that they both use a gas and electric motor. However, a PHEV can be plugged in to provide a longer, electric-only driving range (or a longer combined range and greater fuel economy).

Battery Electric

Unlike the HEVs or PHEVs, a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is powered solely by a rechargeable battery. This means it has no need for fuel of any kind—just plug it in for power. With a BEV, you have completely instant access to serious torque!

Reasons to choose a hybrid or plug-in hybrid Honda

While you’ll certainly save on gas and do something good for the environment, there are a number of great reasons for driving an HEV or PHEV, including (but not limited to):

  • Exceptional driving range
  • Excellent performance, including instant access to torque
  • The same maintenance a gas-powered vehicle requires
  • Strong resale value
  • Lower CO2 emissions, and a lower carbon footprint
  • Electric vehicle batteries are recyclable
  • All Honda HEVs and PHEVs come with Honda Sensing technology standard
  • Many provinces offer rebates and tax breaks for purchasing and driving an HEV or PHEV
