When Kelley Blue Book gives a high rating, you know you've done something right. That special something is the Honda Fit EV which the widely-used new and used car online resource named one of the "10 Best Green Cars of 2013."
Efficiency and power caught KBB.com's attention. The all-electric vehicle is powered by a 20-kWh Lithium-Ion battery and a 92-kilowatt (123 horsepower) AC synchronous electric motor enabling 189 ft-lb of torque. The estimated Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating of the combined city/highway is 82 miles.*
Here's another perk DCH Honda of Temecula finds useful: the onboard charger makes the EV capable of being plugged into any household-type 120-volt outlet (activate with remote control or phone app) or a 240-volt AC power supply (can charge under three hours from low charge indicator illumination point**
If you live in California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey or New York, you could be in luck; the Fit EV is offered for lease-only at select dealers in these state at a price of $389 per month over the course of three years, or an MSRP of $36,625.
