Honda Says that Plug-Ins will Go 15 Miles on Batery
The new line of mid-sized plug-in hybrids that Honda Motor Co. aims to introduce next year will be able to travel up to 15 miles in electric-only mode, an executive says.

That would counter criticism that Honda's current hybrid technology is too weak to provide extended motor-only travel. The Integrated Motor Assist system used in the Honda Insight, Civic and CR-Z hybrids uses the electric motor mostly to assist the gasoline engine.

We can thank the Volt for this. However, unlike the Volt, the Honda platform will be able to alternate be battery and the motor like a hybrid.

not to nitpick, but this isn't really news. Honda announced this back in November at the 2010 LA Auto Show.
