Which is the mainstream of the future? This is a hotly debated topic, with different brands and countries having different perceptions and strategies. But Honda seems to have found a compromise solution, which is the just-unveiled Honda CR-V e:FCEV, which is a new energy vehicle that combines hydrogen fuel cells and batteries, which can use both hydrogen and charging, realizing the flexible switching of the two energy sources.
The CR-V e:FCEV is Honda's first mass-produced plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle in the U.S. and is expected to be launched on a lease basis in California in 2025. The exterior of the car is not much different from the regular CR-V, except for some minor changes to the front and rear bumpers and taillights, as well as the absence of tail exhaust pipes.
Of course, the biggest highlight is its powertrain, the new car uses a new second-generation fuel cell module, which can be used in 4Hydrogen is stored in a 5-liter hydrogen tank and can travel up to 434 kilometers when filled with hydrogen. At the same time, the car is also equipped with a 177kwh battery pack, can provide 46It has a pure electric range of 7 kilometers and has a charging port, which can be used to charge the battery at home or at a charging station. Users can choose to use hydrogen or electricity to drive the vehicle according to their needs and road conditions, enjoying more flexibility and convenience.
The Honda CR-V e:FCEV is not only an eco-friendly new energy vehicle, it is also a functional and practical SUV with a maximum power of 174 hp and a peak torque of 310 Nm. Configuration-wise, it has 10A 2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch HD touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, wireless phone charging, four selectable driving modes, and the Honda Sensing system.
In addition, this car also has a special function, that is, it can provide up to 1500 watts of power to the outside through a 110V power outlet, which can supply power to small household appliances, power tools, camping equipment and other equipment, expanding the outdoor lifestyle to a certain extent. The birth of the CR-V e: FCEV can be said to be a major breakthrough for Honda in the field of hydrogen vehicles, which demonstrates Honda's exploration and innovation of new energy sources, and also provides a new possibility for the development and popularization of hydrogen vehicles.
Write at the end:
At present, the car is still in the experimental stage and is only available to users in a limited number of leases in California, USA, and there are still many problems with the production of hydrogen and the construction of refueling stations. At the same time, whether hydrogen vehicles can stand out from the competition of electric vehicles and become the mainstream in the future remains to be tested by time and the market.
