The wold might not be ready for EVs yet, but there are institutions and groups that want to say they were there when it happened. Joining the green revolution are Google and Stanford University, who have become Honda Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program participants to conduct real-world testing of the new Fit EV.
After the unveil of the 2013 Fit EV at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show last year, Honda has gradually introduced it as a lease vehicle to select customers in California and Oregon.
“The goal of the Honda Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program is to better understand the challenges and opportunities associated with the advancement in battery-electric technology,” said Steve Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office at American Honda. “Honda has a long history with electric vehicles beginning with the introduction of our first battery-electric car, the EV Plus, nearly 15 years ago. Honda’s experience and the unique feedback that Google, Stanford University and the city of Torrance will provide will be valuable to the future introduction of battery-electric technology.”
