Good catch but I think it was the non-technical writers. I suspect they meant to say:
- 95% - Accord cost to build - $30,000 (est.)
- 144% - Accord hybrid cost to build - $45,000 (above + 50%)
So according to CNW Marketing, it takes 50% more energy to make an Accord Hybrid but it didn't cost $15,000 more dollars over the regular Accord. The internal inconsistencies of hybrid skeptics is a thing of both wonder and horror.
