World Debut of Honda Fit EV electric vehicle concept and plug-in hybrid

Description

On November 17, 2010 at the Los Angeles Auto Show Honda unveiled the all-new Fit EV Concept electric vehicle and the platform for a mid-size plug-in hybrid vehicle. American Honda Motor Co. Executive Vice President John Mendel discusses the company's comprehensive approach to reducing CO2 emissions through innovative products. The Fit EV will achieve an estimated 100-mile driving range per charge using the US EPA LA4* city cycle (70 miles when applying EPA's adjustment factor). Driving range can be maximized by use of an innovative 3-mode electric drive system, adapted from the 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid. The system allows the driver to select between Econ, Normal, and Sport to instantly and seamlessly change the driving experience to maximize efficiency or improve acceleration.
