Im curious more than anything.... I have seen a few references to 3-5 miles on EV mode. Has anyone seen something different?

EV mode range

From what I have been reading... looks to be about 4-5 Miles, Under 45Mph.
That's plenty for me.
100m would do it. Just to get home late at night without making a noise!

With that crappy range, they might as well not put in an electric drivetrain
Perfect for city driving or city commutes.
But then the car would have neither torque-vectoring front motors, nor toque-fill at the rear for turbo lag and gear shifts... I get the feeling that EV mode range wasn't a consideration at all for Honda. Having a little bit of silent running to pull in/out of the neighborhood is simply a nice perk from the batteries that are there for other reasons.
This was my thoughts as well.. My city is 2 miles accross. Perfect for moving through and out of before you add the aftermarket exhaust to liven things up. :smile:
I'm going to chuck away my LaFerrari now, since it has 0 electric only range.
Why even have an all EV mode if the range is going to be pathetic. Ferrari probably knew this and thus didn't offer it.
Bingo...I guess that why you are Dr John!
I reckon they couldn't been seen to be upstaged by Porsche and Mclaren and so jumped on the bandwagon.
The emissions and mpg of the Laferrari are no better than any other 6 litre V12 because the electric motor permanently augments the engine's power output. The two units respond as one all the time and so their drive is inseparable. I suspect it was the easiest way to quickly develop a hybrid drive and save face against the others.
