Honda's NSX factory is shifting to plug-in hydrogen CR-V production.
Conceptually, it's exactly what it sounds like. The CR-V-based vehicle will have a lithium-ion battery that can be charged at home, with enough range for daily commuting or short trips. For longer trips, it has a range extender, similar to a current plug-in hybrid. Except, instead of a gasoline engine, the CR-V-like SUV will use a compressed-hydrogen-powered fuel cell.
Honda is likely hoping that the ability to charge at home will help skeptical early adopters make the plunge into the immature hydrogen vehicle market. Hydrogen cars to date have been hamstrung by the extraordinarily limited fueling network. Because traditional hydrogen cars cannot run without the rare fuel, they're essentially unusable in broad swaths of the country.
With this fuel-cell vehicle, Honda is likely hoping for a similar trajectory. Getting more hydrogen cars on the road will incentivize companies to build more filling stations, which are costly to build and operate. Regardless, this will be the first hydrogen car capable of sustained operation outside of California, where all current U.S. hydrogen stations are.
