Cars updates: 2012 Honda Fit EV Concept Wallpapers

The Fit EV is a derivative of the company's five seater Fit hatchback, but lacks little in terms of range or power. The high-density electric motor used in the concept vehicle has been borrowed from the FCX Clarity fuel cell. It delivers a top speed of 90 mph (145 km/h), which should be more than adequate for commuting purposes. More importantly, its driving range is also adequate – estimated at around 100 miles (160 km) range per charge using the US EPA LA41 city cycle and 70 miles when applying EPA’s adjustment factor.

The Fit EV will be able to seamlessly switch between different driving modes, a system adapted from the 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid. The system allows the driver to optimize efficiency in Econ mode or improve acceleration in Sport mode. While in Econ mode, practical driving range can increase by as much as 17 percent, compared to driving in Normal mode and up to 25 percent compared to driving in Sport mode.
