A couple of months ago, Honda unveiled its newest electric offering – an EV version of the all-new Fit hatchback -at the LA Auto Show. The car, which will hit U.S. dealerships in 2012, will join the automaker’s already impressive lineup of eco-friendly cars, including three hybrids, a natural-gas Civic and the FCX Clarity Fuel Cell EV.

With its tiny scale and can-do attitude, the five-door Fit has proven to be an urbanite dream. The gasoline-powered car is small, but peppy, while offering respectable gas mileage (27 mpg city / 33 mpg highway), and best of all, it comes in at a price that’s appealing to everyone (starting at $15,100).

We’re expecting more of the same from the EV, which will get its go from a lithium-ion battery and quiet, electric motor that can reach speeds of 90 mph. As for range anxiety, don’t fret. The Fit predicts a roughly 100-mile driving range per charge. Like many models, drivers will be able to swap between driving in Econ, Normal and Sport mode depending on their mood – max efficiency or acceleration?

My favorite part? The car comes with a remote. Described as “pocket-friendly,” the remote will allow drivers connectivity to the car (to check charge status, start or stop charging, turn on the AC, etc.) without having to worry about Wi-Fi or finding a phone signal.
