Honda will launch a hydrogen fuel cell version of the CR-V in 2024. The electric model will be built at the automaker's Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio.
Honda is one of a few automakers that sees a future for hydrogen vehicles as an option to battery-powered electrics as the industry shifts to zero-emissions vehicles. It previously offered the fuel cell Clarity for sale in California but discontinued it last year.The main advantage hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have over battery-electrics is that they can be refueled in just a few minutes like a gasoline-powered vehicle. However, there are only a handful of public stations in the U.S.
The CR-V will also have a small battery that can be recharged like a plug-in hybrid's, but Honda hasn't released any information on the electric driving range or any other specifications.The all-new CR-V that launched this fall is available with either a conventional four-cylinder or as a hybrid with a combined fuel economy rating of up to 40 mpg.
