What it sounds like Honda *actually* engineered is a sort of "standby" mode in which engine activity is greatly reduced. That's not the same as pure EV like the Prius can do.

I would explain it but the video illustrates it better and the video is just cool. It takes some time download. It's not full EV mode in the same sense as the Prius.
