Gas-electric plug-ins and pure electric vehicles have struggled in the marketplace, even with generous government incentives. Sales of the Chevy Volt have been poor enough to cause GM to temporarily stop production this spring, and also to extend the usual summer shutdown for an extra week rather than be faced with a glut of vehicles it can’t sell. If any electric vehicle can attract the masses, though, perhaps it can be the Honda Fit EV, which will be available for lease on the West Coast this summer and spread to the East Coast by early 2013. The regular Fit has proven immensely popular with drivers and is a mainstay on “best value” lists. While many EVs are compared to golf carts for their lack of power, an early Autoweek review surprisingly says that the forthcoming electric Fit has “a newfound energy the conventional model lacks,” and drives “like a Fit on Viagra.”
