EV Plus
Research for a Honda electric vehicle initially began in 1991. After years of development, a prototype was produced in 1995 using a nickel-metal hydride battery – the first of its kind for a major automaker. The production version was manufactured between 1997 and 1999 and was available for lease in California.
Fit
The Honda Fit was introduced to the United States in 2006. It immediately earned rave reviews from various automotive publications for its smart interior, sporty handling and overall quality. In two short years, the second generation debuted in 2008, boasting new styling and a more rigid body structure.
FCX Clarity
This FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) was designed to set pthe transportation standard for the next century. A true testament to Honda’s pioneering spirit, the FCX Clarity is the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to be offered for lease to the general public. And make no mistake—the FCX Clarity FCEV is an electric car. The fuel cell combines hydrogen with oxygen to make electricity. The electricity then powers the electric motor (the same motor is used in the Fit EV), which in turn propels the vehicle. Water vapor is the only byproduct the FCX Clarity FCEV leaves behind.
Fit EV
Officially unveiled at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, this 100% electric Fit features cutting-edge technology, like a 20kWh lithium-ion battery, three driving modes and a smartphone app[1] to keep tabs on your battery’s state of charge. Plus, with an 82-mile combined (city/highway) driving-range rating (adjusted)[2], the Fit EV can handle all the urban excursions the car was designed for. Charging a battery from the low-charge indicator illumination point can take as little as three hours using a 240-volt circuit.
