Honda’s FCX Clarity - Honda has begun production for its next generation FCX Clarity fuel cell car. The FCX Clarity will be sold through a newly established fuel-cell vehicle dealership network in the United States from July, Honda said. According to Honda sales of the FCX Clarity in Japan will begin around October.

“Fuel-cell vehicles, which don’t use fossil fuels and don’t produce carbon dioxide, are necessary for the environment. We would like to make them more popular,” Honda Chief Executive Takeo Fukui said.

The main issue with fuel cell vehicles is the infrastructure for car owners to fill up and service their cars. As with any new technology this will take time to build out over the country.

Honda’s FCX Clarity uses a lithium-ion battery which allows it to run 385 miles on a single fuelling, and has a top speed of 99 mph. This is not bad considering I only get around 300 miles out of one take of gas.

With current gas prices, I am definetly looking forward to something like this. Only issue is, can you imagine the waiting list? And unless you are rich or famous, imagine getting one of these sometime in the year 2020!
