Honda's Solar Power Charging Station for its FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Car

摘要

Honda has unveiled a solar-powered hydrogen station for use by drivers at home which can produce enough fuel to power its FCX Clarity fuel cell car for 25 miles of driving each day. Honda's website boasts that its new FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle has twice the driving energy efficiency of a standard compact hybrid-electric vehicle and three times the efficiency of a compact internal combustion engine vehicle fueled solely by gasoline.rnHydrogen can be used as a fuel for electric cars, thereby doing away with the need for a battery - these so-called fuelrncell vehicles can travel longer distances than electric vehicles that need to be re-charged directly from a mains supply.
