Staying true to its quick-product-launch plan, Honda unveiled the 2013 Honda Fit EV at the 2011 L.A. Auto Show and has already delivered its first production version of the model.
The lucky owner is the municipality of Torrance, Calif., also home to Honda’s U.S. headquarters. Technically, the first Fit EV is part of a test program to get real-world feedback before the model’s official on-sale date this summer.
The 2013 Honda Fit EV is an all-electric vehicle that’s solely focused on poaching potential Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i and Ford Focus EV customers.
Like the Focus EV, the Fit EV is based on its gas-powered cousin, but there are subtle styling changes (such as the absence of a front grille vent) that distinguish the model.
The Fit EV has an average expected range of 76 miles and can get a full charge in as little as three hours on a 240-volt charger.
