With deliveries of the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV to start July 9, there are a whole three hydrogen-powered cars on the market (the other two being the Hyundai Nexo and Toyota Mirai). That is, there are a whole three hydrogen-powered cars on the market so long as you live in California — and, in the case of the CR-V e:FCEV, are comfortable with leasing.
The CR-V e:FCEV is a CR-V powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Fuel-cell vehicles are similar to electric vehicles, but instead of drawing energy from a battery, they use hydrogen stored in on-board tanks to generate the electricity to power their motors. The CR-V e:FCEV differs from the Nexo and Mirai in that it has a battery capable of supplying an additional 29 miles of electric-only driving range.
