1998 HONDA EV PLUS
This model year
What the record shows
The 1998 Honda Ev Plus is a compact car, and the 2nd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1997 to 1999.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single transmission, Automatic (A1) and running on electricity.
Combined fuel economy is 48 mpg.
The federal record holds 1 safety recall for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
