Ito had been in Southern China to announce a plan to raise Guangqi Honda\u2019s annual production capacity by a third to 480,000 units. Honda is likely to lag behind rivals Nissan Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp., which has partnered with electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc. Ito forecasts <span id=\"more-41513\"><\/span> that electric cars would be able to go mainstream in 10-20 years. For the next several years, Ito said that Honda will be concentrating on hybrids and other fuel-efficient vehicles. Honda is mulling over plans to bring electric cars in limited numbers to the US, Europe and Japan; however, it has yet to find a strategic partner that would commit to developing batteries for the vehicles. Honda actually already has a joint venture with Japan&#8217;s GS Yuasa Corp to work on lithium-ion batteries for hybrid cars. Honda and GS Yuasa have an agreement that if the need arises, they could work on electric car batteries as well. GS Yuasa is in a joint venture with Mitsubishi Motors Corp. for the development and production of electric car batteries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[via autonews &#8211; sub. required]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p class=\"rss2wordpress_signature\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.4wheelsnews.com\/\">Car news, Car reviews, Spy shots<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda Motor Co. has taken a look at China\u2019s technology and massive resources and now plans to develop electric car batteries in China, according to Honda CEO Takanobu Ito.
