2013 Honda Fit EV Electric Car All New But For Few People
Honda’s latest electric car 2013 Honda Fit EV provides all necessary speed and excitement but Honda is building only 1,100 cars over two years, those will be leased in California and Oregon starting next month and then in six East Coast cities, including Boston and New York, in 2013 also grab some zero-emission credits in California . So advise is that, stop looking new 328i, this time Honda really wants you to participate in this electric car experiment Honda Fit EV, Or rather look for the Hybrid version already running in Europe.
Honda’s other hybrid and alternative fuel cars, the natural-gas-powered Civic and the hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity.
The Fit EV’s most obvious competitor is the Nissan Leaf, which is available nationwide in more reasonable numbers — nearly 10,000 sold last year — and which also has that benefit of actually being able to be purchased should you want one. (Remember that when you lease any EV, the manufacturer takes the $7,500 tax credit to reduce the monthly price; if you don’t buy it, you can’t claim it.)
Price and availability aside, the Fit EV feels like it’s ready to take on the entire country, not just a handful of states. Here’s what we thought, based on our rough hour behind the wheel.
