"  2013 Honda Fit EV The Honda Fit EV has earned the equivalent of 118 mpg in official tests conducted by the EPA., making this 5-door subcompact the most efficient electric vehicle presently on sale. That gives Honda bragging rights over competition like the Ford Focus EV, Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i. The Fit&amp;#039;s official 82-mile range between charges also places it at the top of the class. But are you wondering how an electric car registers an mpg rating when the car doesn&amp;#039;t actually use gasoline? Without giving you a migraine, the basic rule to remember is that the number revolves around how much energy is provided in one gallon of gasoline. Tech geeks and people in white lab coats then determine how far the vehicle travels on electric power with the same energy equivalent. During our time behind the wheel of the Fit EV, we complemented the car&amp;#039;s stout 92-kW electric motor and &amp;quot;its instant application of torque.&amp;quot; An available Sport mode sacrifices some range for peppier performance, but we like the idea that an EV can be eco-friendly and still fun to drive. We did note the car is not for anyone wanting to stand out from the crowd, since the Fit EV looks almost identical to its gasoline-powered sibling. The only catch here is that the Fit EV isn&amp;#039;t actually for sale. Honda will begin leasing the Fit EV for $389 per month in California and Oregon this summer \u2013 at the moment there is no option to purchase the car once the lease is up. Additional markets will be added in 2013.
