Surely, not any of us can afford buying a new car, there are many cases when we don’t even want one and opt for a used one. Gently used vehicles are an appealing alternative, and not the worst one. But while cars that plug in take only a small share of new-vehicle purchases today—about 1 percent—they're apparently very popular once they're used.

EV sales in U.S. have grown to an average of 32% annually from 2012-2016 and 45% over the year ending June 2017. Considering these advantages, automakers and investors face several big questions: How fast can we expect EVs to increase market share in the United States?

Honda Motor Co is supporting the increased production of its revamped 2018 Accord sedan model at its plant in Ohio, by investing $267million and adding 300 new jobs. Honda unveiled the newest-generation Accord in July, one of four re-engineered midsize sedans that Asian automakers are betting on to win market share as Detroit rivals shift focus to SUVs, crossovers and pickup trucks. The new Accord, like rival Toyota Motor Corp's all-new Camry, offers more horsepower, safety technology like standard collision-avoiding braking and better fuel economy although Honda did not release...
