Although pure electric has become the mainstream of new energy vehicles, it seems that it has reached a bottleneck from the perspective of the entire technical architecture, and battery life and safety issues have also become the key to restricting the development of pure electric vehicles, so another branch of new energy was born in this context, that is, we want to talk about hydrogen power battery vehicles today. According to the news from the front, the first hydrogen-fueled version of the Honda CR-V has officially rolled off the assembly line in Japan, and it is reported that the new car is expected to officially meet everyone by the end of this year.
In fact, we are no strangers to this hydrogen power battery car, including Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, and many other car companies already have hydrogen power battery models, and this CR-V can be regarded as the official landing of this technology, narrowing the distance between us and this technology! Let's start with a brief introduction to this car. The overall appearance of the new car is not significantly different from the traditional fuel version, but in terms of size, this hydrogen battery version will still use a large seven-seat layout, the entire side body is covered with smooth line layout, the front and rear vertical wheel arches also bring a good sense of power, and the blackened wheels and standard side skirts have not changed from the current model. On the front of the new car, it is not as three-dimensional as the gasoline version, with a slight angle of inclination, which does look more beautiful. The headlights are simpler, using two groups of LED light sources, and the gap between the light sources is very large, including the upper running lights are also stretched.
The traditional middle grid, the new car has also become more complicated, especially the front envelope is also perfectly matched with the whole car, which also ensures the integrity of the new car! At the rear, the hydrogen version offers the same LED taillight clusters as the petrol variant, with the elimination of the lower exhaust layout. And unlike the front of the car, its rear end is completely upright, which also guarantees the feeling of power of the new car.
Regarding the interior, there is no official news yet, but according to Honda's habits before, the probability of change is not large, of course, it is only speculation at present, and the details will not be revealed until the official announcement! The picture above is the technical introduction of this hydrogen power battery version of the CR-V. Unfortunately, Honda has not yet announced the battery capacity or the size of the hydrogen tank.
The system, which was developed by Honda in collaboration with General Motors, costs one-third of the fuel cell of the Honda Clarity model, but is twice as durable as the Honda Clarity fuel cell. In addition, the new car will offer bidirectional charging and allow the use of reserve power to power other electronic devices. At present, the car has been officially announced in Japan, and it is expected to be launched within the year.
