Inefficient gasoline-burners make a poor base for EV-hood. But take a highly efficient – and super fun – Honda Fit and its EV version tops the charts. The Fit EV is (conservatively)-EPA-rated at a 76 mile range with an LA4 range of 123 miles. Nissan Leaf numbers are, respectively 73 and just a tad over 100.
Plus, the Fit EV does this with a 20-kWh battery pack (the Leaf’s is 32 kWh, as I recall.)
The Leaf is efficient and purpose-built as an EV. This Honda Fit EV displays an alternative approach to EV design, and one that’s just as rational. Plus, being a Fit it’s likely to be a ball to zip around in.
