The title of this Wired story pretty much sums it up: Honda Fit EV Is the Most Efficient New Car in the US. Set to get a mile-per-gallon equivalency rating of 118 MPGe, the battery supposedly lasts 82 miles, while Honda reports it can be recharged in less than three hours. I always worry about how we come about the electricity that powers our exhaust-free cars, but these are pretty impressive stats, and moving away from the gas pump is certainly mission critical. Science/environment writer Christopher Mims definitely got all excited at the introduction, writing giddily: “This could be the Model-T of the electric age.”
