Honda is making a significant move in the realm of hydrogen transportation by introducing the CR-V e:FCEV, the nation's first plug-in electric hydrogen fuel cell vehicle available for lease in California starting in July. The company will offer 300 CR-V e:FCEVs through 12 Honda dealerships in three metro areas, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento. The vehicle combines the fast fueling of hydrogen fuel cell technology with EV charging, providing a range of 270 miles. Three lease options are available, with monthly payments ranging from $389 to $489 and including hydrogen fuel credits starting at $15,000. In addition to promoting sustainable transportation, each lease includes benefits like rental car access, roadside assistance, and eligibility for the California Clean Air Vehicle sticker. The CR-V e:FCEV features a 110-volt power outlet for versatile use, similar to battery electric vehicles. Honda's long-term goal is to phase out fossil-fuel-powered vehicles by 2040, transitioning to 100% zero-emission models that include battery electrics and hydrogen fuel cell electrics like the CR-V e:FCEV. Furthermore, Honda is part of a select group of automakers developing hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, with plans to extend the use of their fuel cell system to power commercial vehicles, construction machinery, and stationary power stations. They have initiated testing of a stationary fuel cell power station at their North American headquarters for emergency backup power, with intentions to introduce similar stations globally. This initiative demonstrates Honda's commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and sustainable practices within the automotive industry.
