Honda says that the Fit EV will be available for lease to customers in selected markets in California and Oregon in the U.S. starting from the middle of 2012, with six additional U.S. markets set to receive the car on lease in 2013. The Japanese carmaker adds that it will produce around 1,100 Fit EVs over the next three years, but may increase the production numbers if there is enough interest.The Fit EV is powered by a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 124bhp coaxial electric motor sourced from the Honda FCX Clarity. It also features a 3-mode electric drive system adapted from the CR-Z Sport Hybrid that allows the driver to select between Econ, Normal and Sport to either maximise efficiency or improve acceleration. Honda says that in Econ mode, driving range can increase by as much as 17 per cent compared to driving in Normal mode, while Sport mode is claimed to "significantly" improve acceleration.
Other energy-saving features include a highly efficient electric air conditioning system and new regenerative braking system. According to Honda, with a 240-volt charger, the Fit EV can fully recharge in about three hours, which gives it a driving range of 198 kilometres in the city and 122 kilometres in combined city and highway driving.
The Fit EV will be available in one bespoke colour, Reflection Blue Pearl, while other special exterior features including the EV badges and decals, redesigned front and rear bumpers and a unique chrome front fascia plus distinct five-spoke alloy wheels. Inside, the seating surfaces are covered with bio-fabric while the EV comes with a different instrument panel incorporating a central screen.
All Fit EVs will also come with a standard telematics system that allows the driver to stay connected through a smartphone, personal computer or interactive remote, through which he or she can view the vehicle's state of charge, initiate charging and activate the air conditioning and heater, to pre-condition the vehicle while connected to the electric grid.
