Honda CR-V e:FCEV | Is this Hydrogen Fuel Cell the FUTURE?

[@blee016]

Thank you for providing content related to this innovative vehicle! Love to see how Honda, and hopefully, Acura approaches emerging technology. But I'm with you on this too, this FCEV looks way better than the ICE variants.

Wow! Thanks for the nice comment & feedback! Yes, it’ll be interesting to see where things finally land on the next generation of fuels! Hope you subbed to come back for more!

Thanks for sharing! I like the classic ambiance in the design! I really appreciate the EV / Hydrogen Cell blend! Look forward to the all wheel drive version and greater performance out of the fuel cell system! Thanks again!

Wow! Thanks a lot for the comment & feedback! Yeah it’s a really interesting package and I’ll be curious to see if hydrogen ever takes off as a leading fuel source!

[@windsolarupnorth7084]

Honda pulled the fuel cell Clarity out of the market but introduced this one instead. I think it is a smart move and larger vehicles are the way to go with hydrogen. There will always be a problem with hydrogen tanks taking up to much space in smaller cars.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, completely agree! The two tanks are quite big, but the packaging is quite good in the CR-V fuel cell where it doesn’t compromise too much! Hope you subscribe to come back for more!

Informative video - would recommend the reviewer add a section towards the end that summarizes the video and provides their personal thoughts or feedback. There are several reasons this could benefit yt viewers in the future. Thank you for your video!

Thanks a lot for the comment & feedback! I’ll definitely take that into consideration as I create future videos! Hope you subscribed to come back for more!

Sounds good on paper but the tiny 17kwh battery pack? Better off waiting for a Ram REV if one wants an electric hybrid drive.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment! Yeah the battery is really only there to supplement the hydrogen! It does give you nearly 30mi of range of EV driving though which is good for short commutes too! Hope you subscribed to come back for more!

Hydrogen is $36 a Kg which gets you about 55 miles of range per Kg. That is $0.65 per mile to fuel your car once the fuel card runs out. That fuel card won’t even last 23,000 miles of Hydrogen driving. It has pretty pathetic power too. Hydrogen is just too wasteful to be viable.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & detailed feedback! Hydrogen infrastructure seems like it’s one of the biggest barriers. The fact that this CR-V is also a plug-in, means you could offset some of the hydrogen usage, but I get where you’re coming from! It definitely wasn’t pathetic driving performance either! It was faster than the other hybrids and they’re pretty quick too!

[@LearningFast]

@ the problem is that other plugin hybrids are so much quicker. I just got a Volvo XC60 plugin Hybrid. It gets 39 miles of all EV range and over 500 miles of gas range. It has 450+ HP and does 0-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds. It gets the $7,500 tax credit and costs about the same as the Honda for a lease because there are so many incentives for it. It has more room. It is so much quicker and just better in every way for about the same amount of money.

As a proud CR-V Hybrid owner patiently waiting for a PHEV version of this car, the answer is... No. Or at least, not yet.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! I hear ya! What color & trim CR-V Hybrid do you have? We have a couple reviews here on the channel if you haven’t watched those already! Hope you’ve subbed to come back for more!

[@dabiri69]

Please don’t let this be the design they’ll use for the refresh for the regular crv

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! What don’t you like about the front fascia? I hear you though as the other CR-V trims look great! Hope you subbed to come back for more!

[@dabiri69]

@@Drive_Culture everything under the H. Just looks awful. Reminds me of the Kia soul

[@kprofitt32]

While I’m not interested in this particular vehicle, I am interested in the powertrain. I do think H2 systems will be much more viable than BEV. Still can’t replace pops, bangs, and burbles of a good ole ICE.

[@Drive_Culture]

Thanks for the comment & feedback! Yeah it’s an interesting powertrain indeed! As for the sounds, just watch every non-ice powertrain will do their best to pump in a variety of sounds! Anyway, hope you subbed to come back for more! 👍🏾
