Honda announced it is adding 120 new electric vehicle chargers at the Californian headquarters of American Honda Motor Co. The new chargers will be installed in two phases, the first of which has already begun. Ultimately, Honda estimates that the chargers will enable hundreds of employees to use an EV for their daily commute. It will also prepare for a new generation of plug-in vehicles set to arrive by 2018. In addition to charging stations, the company plans on installing more than 100 “smart chargers” throughout its California headquarters. As previously reported, Honda will offer several next-generation, advanced powertrain vehicles, including a new fuel cell vehicle (FCV) set to launch next year, followed by a new battery-electric model and a new plug-in hybrid model by 2018.
