The 2013 Honda Fit EV is the newest addition to Honda's long
line of efficient and edgy vehicles. This week the Fit EV received a combined
adjusted Environmental Protection Agency mile-per-gallon equivalency rating of
118 MPGe with a consumption rating of just 29 kilowatt hours per 100 miles,
according to Honda. What this means is the Fit EV would require 29 kilowatt
hours (kWh) of electricity to travel 100 miles. For this rating, the lower the
kWh per 100 miles, the more efficient the vehicle and the less energy used to
travel. The MPGe rating basically compares how far the Fit EV would travel on
one gallon of gas. In this instance, the Fit EV can travel an EPA estimated 118
miles on the energy equivalent of one gallon of gas. What it all really means
is less use of gasoline and fewer stops at the gas station.
The Fit EV was introduced in 2011 at the Los Angeles Auto
Show and will be offered next year. But for now, the tension builds for such an
efficient and fun vehicle.
“Just as important as the industry-leading fuel-efficiency
and fast recharging time, as a Honda, the 2013 Fit EV will be an absolute kick
to drive,” said Steve Center, vice president of the American Honda
Environmental Business Development Office, in a released statement.
Using a 240-volt circuit, the Fit EV can be charged in less
than three hours, but the smaller 20-kWh battery is used to its maximum
potential. The combined city/highway estimated driving range of 82 miles is
more than the Ford Focus Electric, Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-MiEV, according
to Honda. Don't let the numbers or new rating terms jumble your brain, just
remember the Fit EV had full EPA MPGe ratings of 132/105/118 city/highway/combined MPGe.
Honda says the Fit EV will be offered with a three-year
lease for $389/month, but the EPA rates the annual fuel cost at only $500. Look
no further than the Honda Fit EV for the most efficient and exciting electric
vehicle!
