2012 Fit EV
Introducing our latest electric marvel, the Fit EV. Officially unveiled at the
2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, this 100% electric Fit features cutting-edge
technology like a 20kWh lithium-ion battery, three driving modes and a smart
phone app[1] to keep tabs on your battery’s state of charge.
Sometimes you’re zipping around town running errands, other times you’re slogging through
traffic on the way to work. But either way, you never have to burn a single drop
of gasoline. With an estimated 123 city miles[2] to play with, the Fit EV has
more than enough range to handle the kind of urban excursions the car was
designed for. Charging a depleted battery can take as little as three hours
using a 240-volt circuit. And now that charging stations have become more
commonplace, you could top off the battery and get your shopping done at the
same time.
The Fit EV will be available for lease in select California
and Oregon markets next summer and is expected to expand to six East Coast
markets in early 2013. The Fit EV’s Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price[3]
(MSRP) is $36,625. A monthly lease payment is estimated around $399.
