Honda Shows Off Its Fit EV

@techcrunch / 6:25 pm PST • November 17, 2010

We heard a little while back that Honda was beginning to go public with its new hybrid and EV line for 2012, and sure enough, today at the LA Auto Show they unveiled the concept electric Fit. It doesn’t sound particularly original, and the Leaf and Volt will be beating it to market by a year, but hey, the more the merrier.

Here are some basic stats and facts:

~100mi range
90MPH top speed
Coaxial electric motor provides ~2.0L performance
12hr charge at 120V, 6hr charge at 240V
Compatible with Honda-branded “charging stand”
Normal, Econ, and Sport drive modes
Smartphone and computer applications for monitoring battery, assistance, etc.

So the usual. No pricing or anything like that, but it’s supposed to go into production in 2012. More information at Honda.
