Now that you mention it, it shows 15 results for California - probably the 15 closest to me, and their system is probably set to limit to 15 results.
That means they are returning all dealerships in the launch states? Not very helpful - and no wonder dealers contacted don't know about the...
So perhaps Honda knows what dealers will carry the Accord plugin even before they do!?
Sounds just like every other EV roll-out - confusing to the customer.
I have to preface this by saying I don't actually know if these dealerships have stock of the Accord Plug-in or if they are just the dealers authorized to sell it, but on the Honda USA website on the side of the Plugin Accord page there is a spot that says "Find a dealer and Inventory"...
You can use the Honda website - when I entered a zip code in a non-California or New York state they listed dealerships hundreds of miles away in California which makes me think it was listing dealerships that actually had - or will have - or are trained on - the Honda Accord plugin.
This article says the Accord PHEV will go on sale in early January: http://www.myaccordplugin.com/honda-accord-phev-forum
Maybe they'll start pre-selling them then, and they'll end up on dealer lots a few months later? That would line up with what those dealerships told you.
On Honda's site...
Is that 68 MPG on the Japanese test cycle, or the US EPA test cycle? Also, what does kmpl stand for?
Confusing header for this post, but the article did have some interesting info thanks.
