The Honda EV Plus was the first production BEV from a major automaker with non lead-acid batteries. Only 300 or so EV Plus models were produced and released. The EV
Plus was taken out of production in 1999 in order for Honda to work on its hybrid vehicles such as the Honda Insight. The EV Plus was made to keep up with [[GM EV1]].

'''The EV Plus features''' two different driving modes; regular and economy, in the regular mode the EV had much better performance, acceleration, and all around power. While the economy mode took away a lot of the power, it was used for getting the most mileage out of the EV. The vehicles range was affected by the way is it driven, quick acceleration and fast stops lower the range. Careful driving in economy mode would give it a range of about 80–110 miles (130–180 km). The EV comes with a 12 V battery for running accessories, to help save power from the main drive batteries.

The EV cost $53,000 which was pretty expensive to purchase outright, although leasing the vehicle would net a large discount. Honda used this lease program to attract drivers.
