TORRANCE, CA -- June 6, 2012 : The 2013 Honda Fit EV, with a combined adjusted EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) mile-per-gallon-equivalency rating of 118MPGe, received the highest fuel-efficiency rating ever given by theEPA. Further, with an unprecedented low consumption rating of just29 kilowatt hours (kWh) per 100 miles and low EPA rated annual fuelcost of $500 , the fun-to-drive 2013 Honda Fit EV can help consumers get moremiles for each charging dollar. With such an efficient drivetrain, the Fit EV's 20-kWh lithium-ion(Li-ion) battery provides the capacity to earn an EPA combinedcity/highway estimated driving range rating of 82-miles, allowingthe Fit EV to surpass the EPA efficiency and range ratings of theFord Focus Electric (105 MPGe, 76-mile range), Nissan Leaf (99MPGe, 73-mile range), and Mitsubishi i-MiEV (112 MPGe, 62-milerange). The Fit EV's exceptionally efficient design -- encompassingeverything from savvy powertrain design, weight-consciousengineering and effective aerodynamics -- makes the most of the FitEV's smaller battery. Additionally, the Fit EV battery can berecharged in less than 3 hours from a low charge indicatorillumination point when connected to a 240-volt circuit. "Just as important as the industry-leading fuel-efficiency and fastrecharging time, as a Honda, the 2013 Fit EV will be an absolutekick to drive," said Steve Center, vice president of the AmericanHonda Environmental Business Development Office. The Fit EV's 92 kilowatt (123 horsepower) coaxial electric motorgenerates 189 ft-lb of torque, and is teamed to a chassis with afully-independent suspension and a driver-selectable 3-modeelectric drive system adapted from the CR-Z Sport Hybrid. Honda debuted the 2013 Fit EV at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show andannounced plans to begin leasing the battery-electric commutervehicle to customers in select California and Oregon markets during the summer of 2012, followed by an East Coastrollout in 2013. Honda Environmental Leadership The Fit EV is a part of Honda's portfolio approach, which includesthe development of battery- electric, hydrogen, natural gas, andgasoline-electric powered vehicles, to improve fuel-efficiency andreduce C02 emissions. Honda has led the Union of ConcernedScientists (UCS) rankings of overall vehicle environmentalperformance since 2000, and a Honda vehicle has topped the list ofAmerica's greenest vehicles, from the America Council for anEnergy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), for eleven consecutive years. In 2006, Honda became the first automaker to announce voluntary CO2emissions reduction targets for its global fleet of automobile,powersports and power equipment products and its global network ofmanufacturing plants. Today, the company is striving for evengreater reductions in CO2 emissions that contribute to globalclimate change, while also working to minimize waste, water use andthe total environmental footprint of its operations worldwide.
