You have to think of the Honda in terms of the Ford Model T. The Model T really was the birth of mass gasoline cars and the Honda really is the birth of Hydrogen powered cars. This is new technology much like the model T was a hundred years ago and now look how far petrol and diesel cars have come and now there in their final stages. Just think how much better and efficient hydrogen cars will be in 50 years.

I'll do it, but I'd like to see an FCHV AWD SUV, too.

@Bagadaboats yea but the engine would lock up because gasoline and diesel are lubricants and i you use just hydrogen in a combustion engine then you have no lubs in the cylinders

The advantages of fuel cell cars are obvious. But they have one big disadavantage compared to battery powered electric cars: They are much more inefficient.
Suppose, we have 10 kWh electricity from a wind turbine. Send it throug the grid in the battery of a electric car like the Tesla, you can drive about 40 miles with it.
If you produce hydrogen with it, compress the hydrogen and "burn" it in the fuel cell stack of the Honda FCX Clarity, you reach just about 10 miles.
A waste of energy.

U cud just put hydrogen on regular petrol engines or even diesel engines which results in much more power than a fuel cell with the same water exhaust
-
FUCK THIS CAR it could run on WATER ALONE!!

@thebigbaddog77 I was taught to do it that way! :D
But for you:
Ethane:
2C2H6 + 7O2 ----> 4CO2 + 6H2O
Finally, a great electric car, that actually looks like a car.

You run F1 team in 2040
You choose a heavy batter back that stays the same weight no matter what lap
or
You choose a tank of Hydrogen whos weight depletes lap after lap
There you go. Hydrogen > Battery
