Honda rolls out the FCX Clarity Hydrogen Car

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

The new Honda FCX Clarity zero-emission hydrogen vehicles Honda has left the production line Monday in Japan and is headed to Southern California.

The FCX Clarity is powered only by hydrogen and electricity, emits only water. It is two times more energy efficient than a gasoline-electric hybrid and three times that of a standard gasoline car.

Only a small group of consumers the chance to learn sign a three-year lease for the new FCX Clarity. But it comes at a high price for some. $ 600 per month, however, the lease covers all maintenance costs and protection against collisions.

The fuel cell is based on energy synthesized through a chemical reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen in the air, and a lithium-ion battery provides extra power. The FCX Clarity has a range of about 270-miles per tank with the equivalent of the hydrogen consumption to 74 miles per gallon, according to the manufacturer. It has a top speed of 100 miles per hour. Not that anyone should be driving at that speed.
