In a revolutionary leap for zero-emission travel, Honda has just pulled the covers off America’s first production plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle – the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV. This isn’t just a car; it’s a magic trick on wheels, making gasoline a thing of the past with a 270-mile (434 km) EPA driving range and still providing all the bells and whistles in power, space, and comfort.
Imagine zipping around town on pure electric joy with up to 29 miles of EV driving, and then, for those longer escapades, just pull up to a hydrogen station for a speedy refill. That’s the kind of versatility the CR-V e:FCEV offers. Plus, it proudly wears the badge of being the only fuel cell electric passenger vehicle birthed on American soil.
Honda isn’t just dabbling in the future; they’re driving it forward, committing to a 100% battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicle lineup by 2040. This compact CUV, with its all-new U.S.-made fuel cell system and plug-in capability, is more than a vehicle; it’s a vision of a greener, cleaner future.
Mamadou Diallo, senior vice president of Auto Sales at American Honda Motor Co., tips his hat to Honda’s fuel cell technology expertise as a cornerstone in their crusade for carbon neutrality by 2050. With the CR-V e:FCEV, Honda isn’t just making a statement; they’re carving a path to an electrified era.
Set to grace the Golden State by the end of the year through customer leasing, this trailblazer isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about making a statement. With features like HondaLink® providing real-time hydrogen station info, and the Honda Power Supply Connector that turns your car into a 1,500-watt power station, the CR-V e:FCEV is not just a car; it’s a powerhouse on wheels.
From its roots as the world’s first zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicle certified for everyday use, Honda’s journey with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has been nothing short of groundbreaking. The CR-V e:FCEV, assembled at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, is a testament to this journey, offering improved durability, efficiency, refinement, and cost-effectiveness.
Partnering with General Motors (GM), Honda’s next-generation fuel cell module is a beacon of innovation, slashing costs and elevating performance. This isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a fusion of minds and technology aimed at driving the future.
As for the ride itself, the CR-V e:FCEV is dressed to impress. With its distinctive styling, spacious and comfortable interior, and a plethora of high-tech features, it’s designed for the modern driver who values style, comfort, and environmental responsibility. The eco-friendly powerhouse delivers a sporty, engaging driving experience with a single-motor churning out 174 horsepower and 310 Nm of torque.
But Honda’s vision extends beyond just vehicles. Their “Triple Action to Zero” approach is a holistic campaign targeting zero environmental impact by 2050. This includes carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities, a sustainable lifecycle for resources, and a commitment to clean energy.
Honda’s hydrogen business isn’t just about cars. They’re envisioning a future where hydrogen fuel cells power everything from commercial vehicles to stationary power stations and construction machinery. With demonstration tests already underway and plans for wider applications, Honda is not just driving on the road; they’re paving a new path towards a sustainable future.
In summary, the 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV isn’t just a car; it’s a revolution on wheels, a magic show where gasoline disappears, and a testament to Honda’s commitment to a cleaner, greener world. Get ready to witness the future, and it’s arriving in style!
