Honda has started deliveries of their affordable proposition for the electric market, as the first 2013 Fit EVs have been shifted to the city of Torrance in California yesterday. The move is meant to demonstrate the merits of the car while also gradually rolling it out across California and Oregon starting this summer.
As a reminder, the Fit EV has an electric motor developing 123 hp and its 20 kWh lithium-on battery offers about 120 miles of range on a full charge. rices for the 2013 Honda Fit EV start at $36,625.
“This is an exciting day as we take another important step toward Honda’s comprehensive vision for reducing CO2 emissions while at the same time advancing our relationship with the city of Torrance,” said Steve Center. “Honda has a long history with electric vehicles starting with the introduction of our first battery-electric car, the EV Plus, nearly 15 years ago. With Honda’s extensive experience and the real-world feedback from the city of Torrance, we will be even more prepared for the further customer adoption of electric vehicles.”
