Honda Mall of Georgia: Honda Fit EV tops in efficiency


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!
