The 2013 Honda Fit EV has Been Named one of the 10 Best Green Cars

BARRINGTON, Ill. - April 25, 2013 - PRLog -- The 2013 Honda Fit EV continues to rake in the accolades and awards. The latest comes from the auto industry experts at KBB.com, who have chosen the exciting new Honda electric vehicle as one of the 10 Best Green Cars of 2013. This was great news to the team at Motor Werks Honda (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/index.htm) in Barrington, Illinois. They have been as impressed as everyone else by the exceptional performance capabilities and the outstanding fuel economy of this subcompact electric vehicle.

Powered by a 123-hp electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack, the 2013 Honda Fit EV provides quick acceleration, capable of going from zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds, and an EPA-estimated driving range of 82 miles.* The horsepower may not seem all that impressive up front, but it is among the fastest subcompacts on the market today, and one of the most powerful all-electric vehicles on the road.

The fully independent suspension and 3-mode selectable drive system contribute to the nimble and responsive handling, making this small 4-door a joy to drive.

Featuring an onboard charger that can work with either a common household 120 V outlet or a dedicated 240 V AC power supply, the battery pack can be completely recharged in as little as 3 hours.

At present, the Honda Fit EV is only available for lease, and only in selected markets in Oregon, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. But with the wide recognition this electric car has been receiving, it is expected that it will be made available to a wider market in the near future.

As one of Kelley Blue Book’s 10 Best Green Cars of 2013, the new Fit EV is sure to draw even more attention from consumers looking for an affordable and high-quality green solution to their driving needs.
