You can now lease a Fit EV for $259 a month with no down payment, unlimited miles, and included collision insurance. Not bad Honda. Not bad. Link from Autoblog.

So two and a bit weeks ago, I went to Grand Designs Live. I never actually intended to go there, but unfortunately it had absorbed the show I normally go to - Eco Velocity - in only the eco car show's third year.
