Honda unveiled the Fit EV concept at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, an electric version of its popular Fit economy vehicle. This year, Honda revealed the production version as a 2013 model. Equipped with a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery and 92 kW coaxial electric motor, the Fit EV battery can be fully recharged in as little as 3 hours when connected to a 240-volt circuit.
American Honda will begin leasing the Fit EV to customers in select California and Oregon markets next summer, and will expand to six East Coast markets in early 2013. The Fit EV’s Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $36,625 with an estimated lease priced at $399 a month.
The Honda Fit EV packages the 92-kilowatt electric motor, driving the front wheels, and the power control electronics under the hood. Honda has not released specifications for acceleration or top speed.
