Quick Reference Guide

How the Electric Vehicle Works

Instead of using gasoline to power an internal combustion engine, your vehicle uses

stored electricity to power an electric propulsion motor. When decelerating, or going

down hills, the electric propulsion motor also acts as a generator to recover a portion

of the electrical energy that was used to accelerate the vehicle. This regenerative

braking works in a manner similar to engine braking on a gasoline powered vehicle,

and is enhanced with the shift lever in .

As with a gasoline powered vehicle, the efficiency of an electric vehicle (and the

vehicle's range) is most impacted by the driver's driving style. Climate control system

usage also has a strong impact with heavy usage negatively affecting the vehicle's

range.

There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle, a standard 12 volt battery that

powers the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and other standard 12 volt

systems, and a high voltage lithium ion battery that is used to power the propulsion

motor and recharge the 12 volt battery.

High Voltage Battery

Learning about the High Voltage battery’s characteristics will help you get the best

handling and maximize the range of your electric vehicle.

(P181)

Charging the High Voltage Battery

You can recharge the High Voltage battery using a standard household outlet or at a

public charging station.

Safety Precautions

Do not touch the High Voltage system

As much as 400 volts runs through the High Voltage system. Attempting to take a system

component apart or disconnect one of its wires can cause severe electrical shock. If the High

Voltage system needs maintenance or repairs, it should be performed at an authorized

Honda Fit EV dealer.

If a crash occurs

• Be careful of electric shock hazard.

u If a severe crash damaged your vehicle’s High Voltage system, there is a possibility of

electrical shock due to exposed High Voltage components or wires. If this happens, do

not touch any of the High Voltage system components or any of its orange wires.

• Avoid contact with High Voltage battery fluid.

u The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of

a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact with the electrolyte as it is corrosive. If

you accidentally touch it, flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for at

least five minutes, and seek medical attention immediately.

•

Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.

u Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with a small quantity of water, from a garden

hose for instance, can be dangerous.

• Anytime the vehicle is damaged in an accident, have it repaired by an authorized Honda

Fit EV dealer.

Emergency Shutdown System for the High Voltage System

The emergency shutdown system may activate when the vehicle is impacted by some incident

such as a crash and a collision. When this system activates, the High Voltage system

automatically shuts down, and your vehicle no longer moves.

To recover the High Voltage system back in operation, consult an authorized Honda Fit EV

dealer.

Honda collects and recycles used High Voltage batteries used in its vehicles – consult an

authorized Honda Fit EV dealer for more information.
