Default World Debut of Honda Fit EV Concept Electric Vehicle

Honda Media Newsroom - Headlines - World Debut of Honda Fit EV Concept Electric Vehicle and Plug-in Hybrid Platform at Los Angeles Auto Show

The EV Plus from the 90s looked like a Geo Metro lol

3 mode drive system

100 miles per charge using a lithium ion battery in a normal mode

economy mode increases usage by +/- 17%

sport mode will leave it on the Top Gear track with the Stig walking away in disappointment

your smart phone can connect to the system to see your battery life

this is a short range vehicle for urban use

honda will launch a testing program

production est. in 2012

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Yeah I was just reading this today. 70 miles per 120 volt 12 hour charge or 6 hours per 220 volt we won't see one in Tampa due to the fact that we are so spread out. But places like new York might sell a few. But it does show use where our good ole gasoline engines are heading......the history books.

I look forward to the days of making bootleg gasoline in my garage when I'm an old man. "Back in my day, cars were fast, loud, and polluted like hell!"

In the first half of November nearly $200 was spent by me for Fuel and my EG and EF Hatch have good mpg. The CRX is more like a V8 right now until his tune happens.

I love to drive and I love to race and in order to race I'll drive around the state. If I could have an electric vehicle for my daily d around town stuff I would really like it. That way I could have more $ towards racing.

I totally agree but 70 miles is nothing 200 would be more practical to me. I drive nearly 70 miles if I just drive directly to my shop then home. Another thing is how long do the batteries last? The lithiums in my makita tools don't seem to last to long and are f-ing expensive.
