Honda Fit EV
"Honda recently announced a new low lease rate for its Honda Fit EV, an electric car that's available in California. The Fit EV is being offered for $259 a month with no money down. That price includes insurance, maintenance and unlimited mileage. Plus, Honda (HMC) will provide a free home charging station. " as seen at GM offers big rebates on the Chevy Volt - Jun. 10, 2013
This would be a game changer for me if I lived in Cali..... |

why are these electric deals only in CA?
The fiance wants a fiat 500, and the 500e electric is supposed to be available only in CA for the same lease price as the regular version.

I'd be all over it at that price for an around-town runabout.

I am on the waiting list.
I registered last Monday, and the wait is a year long.

Wish those were offered in NYC and that businesses and the city would install charging stations. While you don't need a car to live in NYC (subway/bus/bike/taxi), that kind of thing would make the perfect light vehicle for tradesmen.
Not heavy construction people, but plumbers, residential electricians, locksmiths, delivery in less dense areas, etc. |

Could you lease the car in CA and "move out of state" within a week or two? If you have a leased car in CA and decide to move to TX, do you have to prematurely return it?

"zero" "partial zero"/Pzev(one of my favorite terms...) "super ultra low emmission vehicle"/Sulev "ultra low emmission vehicle"/Ulev and of course, the lowly "low emmission vehicle"/Lev So companies will at times offer vehicles at significant discounts in order to meet their quota(s). Sometimes there are even Zip code limitations. I knew quite a few people back in the '90s who were upset with Ford over some deals on half ton trucks. Seemed the trucks they wanted were available cheaper to socal city residents than to the farmers who needed them. Listen closely to the legalese at the end of some car commercials, you'll hear the phrase "Residency restrictions may apply" sometimes. MV |

If you really want the car, not hard to show them a signed lease and switch your license over. Then, a week later, "oops, job offer fell through."
(I'd actually consider doing something like that if I wanted an EV, since I do legitimately own property in CA, but don't live there. And NYC doesn't seem to give a flying flip about out-of-state plates. Problem would be (a) long trips and (b) finding a place to charge the thing. Plus I like my NY license since it doesn't get points off it for out of state tickets.) |

Problem is that the Fit EV is lease-only, you can't buy one (apparently), not even at the end of the lease.
If I ever went that route, the Fit would be rego'ed to a legitimate CA property address owned by me. On the plus side, looks like it will be available in NY soon: http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-autos-honda-fit-ev-pricing-20130530,0,4539192.story |

I still wish the Honda manager who made the "no purchase, lease-only" decision the very worst. I guess it makes sense with only 1100 vehicles, so they don't have to support them for 10 years, but not being able to OWN something cool like that enrages me. I guess that I'm a through-and-out materialist (and damn proud of it), not a "transumer."
