I don't know anything about electric cars and when I googled right now - I got super-annoyed. The hype is outrageous. And the media is more than willing to push that hype because it generates page views and sells ads.

Emphasis mine...

Honda does not even sell a fully-electric vehicle in North America. But this situation will change in the coming years, through a number of innovative ideas.

      I agree with this. I think we have some time left with gasoline, but eventually prices will get so high that a basic gasoline commuter vehicle will be far more expensive to maintain that the electric alternative, even factoring in the cost of outfitting a home with a charger.

      it is important to realize that Honda and Toyota REALLY lean in on the idea that they do not introduce a new technology unless they are 100% sure it will work for them, long term.

      Absolutely correct being that most recently they were latecomers to turbocharging and direct injection while everyone else immediately went to those technologies as a means of getting their fleet fuel economy numbers up.
