Honda President Takeo Fukui says the technology is still too unreliable to go into mass production. &quot;Lithium-ion batteries are still not usable from our perspective,&quot; Fukui told Automotive News in an interview at Honda&#8217;s Tokyo headquarters on Wednesday, March 19. &quot;In terms of reliability and durability, I must say there still remain some concerns,&quot; he said. &quot;I don&#8217;t think they are necessarily best suited for mass-produced vehicles.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Fukui\u2019s statement stands out against other carmakers as GM, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi have announced plans to sell cars equipped with lithium-ion batteries. The Japanese carmaker remains wary as it wants the hybrids to make up 10 percent of sales by 2012. The future hybrid model is expected to find 200,000 buyers every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda CEO Takeo Fukui has revealed more details about the future low-cost hybrid model due to be unveiled at the next Paris Motor Show.
