Honda Delivers First Fit EV to City of Torrance, California

A new Post "Honda Delivers First Fit EV to City of Torrance, California" was written on the January 23, 2012 at 11:36 pm on "AutoParts Marketplace - Automotive and aftermarket Auto Parts Information".

The first of Honda's electric hatchbacks has officially [1] been
delivered to the city of Torrance, California. Honda delivered a
single Fit EV to the city of Torrance on Friday as the first step in
the Honda Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program, a prelude to the
"retail market launch" of the Fit EV to customers (actually, only to
lessees) in California and Oregon starting this summer.

Steve Center, vice-president of the Environmental Business Development
Office at American Honda, described the Fit EV hand-off, stating:

"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... 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."

Honda unveiled the production-spec 2013 Fit EV at the 2011 Los Angeles
Auto Show and announced it will lease the 76-mile-range electric
hatchback to US customers in the summer of 2012. Unfortunately, Honda
has no intention to outright sell the car to the general public.

At some later point, the city of Torrance will receive a Honda plug-in
hybrid for testing and demonstration purposes. The carmaker's current
plug-in hybrid drivetrain is designed to be fit to a mid-size sedan
platform, with a range of 10-15 miles and a top speed of 62 mph in
electric mode.
