Honda has
decided that hydrogen fuel-cell power has a mainstream, everyday future. The car company's
2008 FCX is a fuel-cell vehicle specifically for the consumer market. The FCX come with
more interior space, accessories and features. The FCX sported comfortable and stylish
seats made from what Honda calls bio-fabric, made from specially grown plants.
This Honda FCX able to hit 100mph and easily hit 74mph, and
showed no strain or sign of tapering off. Acceleration was reasonably quick, as generally
is the case with an electric car. Honda hopes to disseminate the 2008 FCX to users who
have access to hydrogen. That includes consumers in Las Vegas, Detroit, and California.
Honda anticipates a gasoline-equivalent rating of
about 68 miles per gallon in the Environmental Protection Agency's combined city-highway
driving cycle.
