The first 2013 Honda Fit EV has been officially delivered to a couple in California, and we here at Brandfon Honda, serving branford, couldn't be more thrilled. While it may not be arriving on our lot specifically, the delivery of the first Fit EV is a significant step towards its bright future.
Before making it to the world of mass production, the Honda Fit EV will be limited to two markets: California and Oregon. From there, Honda intends to gauge the public's interest in its first electric car, and then make production and availability changes accordingly. If you ask us, though, it only takes one look at what the Fit EV has to offer to know that the public will definitely want more.
