GUANGZHOU -- Honda is putting the pedal to the metal in China, where the Japanese automaker has just launched the electric-only e:N line that shows its pricing strategy in the world's largest electric-vehicle market.

The series debuted in April, and more models will be gradually introduced as sales and production are beefed up.
