Honda Fit EV

Although we have not had the Fit EV in at CNET for a full review, during a day's driving in Los Angeles it showed nice handling and excellent power. Instead of merely retrofitting a Honda Fit with an electric drivetrain, Honda made bigger structural changes to fit the battery low in the chassis. The EPA gives the Fit EV a range of only 82 miles, but a stellar efficiency rating of 118 mpg equivalent.
