Honda Debuts All-New FCX Clarity Advanced Fuel Cell Vehicle

[PatriotAr15]

How would the performance, or should I say, POWER behind a FCV compare to EV? What will we use, those of us in the country who sometimes need the horsepower that all those environutbags say we dont need???

What about people who need to haul flab-bed trailers to haul necessary farm supplies around? What about people who live at the top of a steep hill, with a steep dirt road leading up to it? It seems most of these enviro-friendly and WALLET friendly cars,...unfortunately are designed for metros

[ceriman]

Of course it's designed for "metro" use. Like most sedans, it doesn't have a trailer hitch, and doesn't do well on rutted dirt trails or offroad, and it isn't very good at hauling big heavy loads. Most of all, you need to be near an H2 filling station, and those are only found in a few major metropolitan areas like LA.

[Rickdeckard2020]

H fuel cell is a scam!

The energy used to produce the hydrogen could be used directly to recharge your electric car without a whole outrageously wasteful middleman industry to make hydrogen on an industrial scale, store it in huge pressurized tanks, transport the compressed gas on roads and transfer it in hydrogen $tation$ to fill your car, OR a garage contraption that uses GAS and electricity, its a red herring

EVs with solarpanels on your house would make you independant

[blindunion]

u should read once in awhile because honda has had an idea to put hydrogen contraptions in homes to refill your car = power your house

[Rickdeckard2020]

Thanks, as if,

but heres the difference;

The Nihm EV technology and solar panels exist TODAY. Hydrogen cars are years away from being anywhere near affordable.

Solar panels provide energy, hydrogen contraption requires energy.

For a valid comparasion with an EV you would have to add the contraption's price to the price of the car.

I heard that the FCX Clarity goes 0-60 mph in 9.2 seconds. That's better than my Prius (0-60 in 10.5). I hope it is available outside of California before I consider buying a third-generation Prius or the New Honda Hybrid coming out in 2009...

[initialdluvr]

wow, even for a pollutionless car, my bike can go faster than that.

[MusicMan0007]

let's see your bike go 100mph...the top speed this car can reach, and let's see you do 0-60 in 7.7 seconds.

[initialdluvr]

im talking about this video retard. why would you think that i said ill ride a bike faster that a car? =_=

[Ridinbenz888]

this video is a "pollutionless car" ammit you cannot listen right. Get your facts straight!

[initialdluvr]

I KNOW THIS CAR EMMITS NO POLLUTION. IT DOESNT RUN ON GAS. i was talking about bikes and you bring up pollution? admit you cant read right.

[Ridinbenz888]

Then maybe you should learn how to write commments. If i cannot read then all of these people there that gave you a thumbs down cannot reaid either. I doubt people looking at a "polutionless" car on Youtube, out of all the other interesting things, canot read. It is obvious you are trying to cover yourself. And "cant" is "can't" you illiterate bike ridin, self shaming, bed wetting, sap sucking, no good drop out!

[initialdluvr]

sorry im not writing an essay or anything. its just youtube. you retard who cant spell admit right. whats ammit? and im not covering my self up. i dont know why i got thumbs down. all i said was, in THIS video, the car seemed to be going slow so i said my bike can go faster than that. then someone else thins i said my bike can go 100+ mph. i never said that. and you bring up pollution.

[Ridinbenz888]

So you do think it is true. your "bike can go faster than that" Okay already. We all know you are trying to cover your ass. it's okay we all make dumb remarks about things that we are not comfortable with. But you are the only ass hole that denies it!

[reasontolivetoday]

... your misunderstanding me. i said in THIS note* this, i said in this video, i can ride faster than that. THIS video. THIS

[bermuge]

Following it since the last year's model. You think you might know how much is costs? I heard last year's model is 1 million, and this one is for lease with a subsidized 500 dollars

[MusicMan0007]

leased for 600$ but that includes insurance and a bunch of other things. This car is enexpensive once you see everything you get plus the cheap hydrogen: around $1.25. I wish I could buy one in NYC

[ceriman]

$600 a month for 3 years, and yes that is subsidized. Honda isn't selling these, but only a billionaire could afford it anyway.

H2 currently costs about $8 per Kg, and the FCX Clarity can go about 65 miles on 1 Kg of H2. That makes the per mile cost twice that of a Prius running on gasoline, and 4 to 6 times more than an electric car. Cheaper than driving a Hummer, though...

[timbilly7]

H2 is only about $4-$5/kg, isn't it? And hydrogen reformed from a natural gas home filling station would probably be around $2-$3 per kg, I think.

[SRL5689]

if you install some solar panels at your house, and an electrolysis machine to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. All you need next is a compressor (5000psi). then you can spread the cost of it all over your life to make the cost of fuel almost nothing.
