Honda has come out to the open and said that it does not believe in the concept of electric vehicles, according to a report by Bloomberg. Honda’s R&D President Tomohiko Kawanabe told the news agency that the company lacks confidence in the electric vehicle business.

“It’s questionable whether consumers will accept the annoyances of limited driving range and having to spend time charging them,” he added. This is a total opposite from Nissan’s CEO Carlos Ghosn is saying. Ghosn believes that electric vehicles will make up 10% of the global car market by the year 2020.

“We are definitely conducting research on electric cars,” Kawanabe said, “but I can’t say I can wholeheartedly recommend them,” concluded Kawanabe. The company will focus on expanding its gasoline-electric hybrid model range and on improving its pure gasoline engines while it plans to sell electric cars in the US just to help meet California emissions rules which is where the EV-N Concept may come into play. The EV-N is an all electric super mini concept that was unveiled last September.
