Honda Fit EV 2013, Blue Power

Today there are a number of different options to choose from - plug-in electric vehicles, natural gas, hybrid and more, and as part of this growing fleet, recently we tested the new 2013 Honda Fit, Honda's latest offering in its wide range of alternative fuel vehicles. Based on the popular Fit and Fit Sport five-door, five-passenger, the new Fit EV joins the Civic Hybrid, Civic Natural Gas, the hybrid Insight and CR-Z and FCX Clarity fuel cell electric. One hundred percent electric Fit EV technologies highlights highly useful and user-friendly as a battery of 20 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium ion (Li-Ion) and a compact AC power of 92 kilowatts (kW) synchronous like the unit that powers the Honda FCX Clarity. The 2013 Honda Fit boasts energy efficiency leader in the world of 29kWh per 100 miles, the equivalent of 118 mpg (EPA combined city / highway, adjusted). The result is a range of 132 miles per charge in city, with a range set by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to manage 82 miles in combined city / highway. Three selectable modes allow the driver to choose between the handling characteristics NORMAL, ECON and SPORT, altering the driving experience to maximize efficiency or enjoy the exciting side of the electrical control. From a management perspective we had little time behind the Fiat EV, just half a day and less than 100 miles which does not really have a chance to achieve a true sense of the vehicle. But during that time we could take to the highway for a short period and the car responds surprisingly well. It has a ton of end torque which makes it very fast acceleration 0-60, so there is no concern about being able to integrate into highway traffic or vehicles reviser in low and medium speed. We also had the opportunity to launch a tour of a short way to compare their mobility with another model that plugs - the Nissan Leaf. Now with all that said the final question is - would buy this car or recommend it to a friend. The answer has to be no - for one reason - money or a C Class or a number of other cars. So, really, the only reason a person decides to buy the Fit EV instead of a Mercedes C Class is reduced power consumption. It is wrong to assume that the Fit EV consumes no energy. Because the Fit EV and any other connected car powered by electricity, these vehicles also leave a carbon footprint, not to mention the amount of hours it takes to "fill the tank". More importantly, in large metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Portland have to question whether it would be prudent to place additional pressure on the already overloaded power grid.
