The other day, Honda announced that they were drastically reducing the lease price of the Fit EV. Since then, people have actually started to recognize that the Fit EV exists! Yesterday, a woman stopped me at Trader Joe's. She had read about my car in the newspaper and wanted to get my opinion before she got one. People at work have also started to notice and ask questions.
I admit that I have been a little jaded about the Fit EV since seeing how fast the quick chargers were, but after talking to people about the pros and cons of the car, I have been reminded of why I leased it in the first place. Unlike every other EV (excluding Tesla Model S), this car is a lot of fun to drive! I love the acceleration, handling, and visibility. Plus, my daily driving rarely takes me beyond its range.
Would a quick charge upgrade be fantastic? Of course. Is it a deal-breaker? Not yet.
