With a goal of two-thirds of brand sales coming from battery or hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles by 2030, the Japanese manufacturer is bullish on alternative fuels. Though a pioneer in battery and hydrogen powertrains beginning with its (now defunct) Insight hybrid in 2000, Honda has had little impact on the electric vehicle market and only sold one battery-powered model in 2016, the Accord Hybrid sedan.
