The deceleration selectors installed on the steering wheel help to maximize power generation. Similar to the steering wheel controls, the Accord Hybrid’s deceleration selectors allow the driver to easily switch between four levels of regenerative braking performance. The selector on the right increases regenerative braking and the selector on the left reduces it. The system simultaneously helps to reduce the pressure on the brakes and increase the battery charge through regeneration.

Three Driving Operations

The powertrain of the Accord Hybrid works by changing impeccably between three different driving operations:

EV Drive (100% electric motor), Hybrid Drive (electric motor and gasoline engine [that drives the motor generator]) and Engine Drive (motor gasoline), taking advantage of the power of the gasoline engine and the electric motor in order to adapt to the driving conditions at hand.
