There is no actual transmission, CVT or otherwise in the new Honda Accord Hybrid. The electric motors do the job: How It Works
The power computer decouples the engine from the wheels and directs its power to the motor-generator. The electricity produced by the spinning generator is then delivered to the drive motor, which turns the front wheels while any excess power is stored in the battery.
At highway speeds, when the gasoline engine is at its most efficient, the power controller shuts down the electric drive motor and lets the i-VTEC engine do its thing.
