because both the civic hybrid and accord hybrid use the same basic ima technology, i would think that you could run the accord hybrid on gas only too.

however, if your intent is this, simply buy an accord v6 instead of a hybrid. one of the liabilities of having a hybrid is the life of the battery pack, and i believe if you take out the battery after using it for a little bit, its charge will deplete to nothing within two weeks and it won't recharge to what used to be its full potential again
