Although we don't know much about it yet, one intriguing detail about the upcoming fuel cell-powered CR-V from Honda is that you'll be able to charge an onboard battery by plugging it in, similar to an EV. According to the company, this will give you enough power for "driving around town." It sounds like a PHEV, but instead of a gasoline engine as a supplemental power source, the CR-V continues on hydrogen power once the battery pack is depleted.
The new hydrogen CR-V is based on the newer generation of CR-V that was released this year. Although we all want more information, Honda says that additional details will be available closer to the vehicle's launch in 2024.
"Our associates at the Performance Manufacturing Center have really enjoyed the opportunity to successfully introduce several specialty vehicles into the market," said PMC plant leader Gail May. "This facility is perfect for production of a new Honda fuel cell electric vehicle, as our small-volume capability enables us to really leverage the skill and expertise of our team to produce quality zero-emission vehicles here in North America."
