so why does everyone complain about the GM one being canned...when this one seems to have died in the same fashion .
- GM made and leased over twice as many EVs as Honda did. Also, "The EV Plus was made to keep up with General Motors' new EV1". But yes, I'm assuming they went out in the same fashion. I think that the GM EV1 is just used more frequently as an example because it was on a larger scale. Smileman66 03:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

- This is a very good point. Honda just followed GM's lead in destroying their electric vehicles but that is no excuse. Honda seem to have maintained their 'squeaky clean' image when in fact they destroyed and discontinued their EV Plus for no good reason, and to the detriment of the environment since electric vehicles cause far less damage to the environment (yes, there's a lot of pollutants from generating electricity but it's nothing compared to internal combustion engines). And today, as if to add insult to injury, they market the most fuel INEFFICIENT hybrid in the world: the Accord Hybrid, which burns more petrol than the average 4 cylinder sedan, and one 1 gallon less per hundred kilometers than the standard Accord! It's ridiculous. I love driving Hondas and they've done lots of great things for the industry but their history of electric and hybrid vehicles is terrible; basically as bad as GM's. --DreamsReign 07:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
