Is it safe to have a Honda Accord Hybrid in the trunk?

I was reviewing the owner’s manual for the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid and noticed on page 176 under the “Cargo Section” a warning to not carry a temporary spare in the trunk because a severe collision to the rear of the car could cause damage to the hybrid battery and cause a leak of flammable electrolytes.

Can you use a spare tire on a Honda Accord Hybrid?

Yes, I can confirm that you can use a spare tire. I took mine out of my old Acura Legend, (the dealer confirmed it would work on the Honda Accord Hybrid by comparing to the regular Accord spare) bought the plastic hub and the screw in bolt for the regular Accord 2018 spare on ebay, and it fit.

Is there a tax credit for a hybrid car?

The current tax law for hybrid cars allows for a credit when you buy an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. This credit is anywhere from $2,500 up to $7,500. Since the Sonata hybrid in this scenario isn’t a plug-in, there is no government tax credit. Some states also offer a tax credit, as do some utility companies.

How much does it cost to fix a Honda Accord?

Whatever Honda supplied for tire repair could not fix the tire. As Honda supplied no spare, I had to be flat-bedded to a tire place in the Bronx and purchase a new tire.
