Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
Oh, that are these electric cars with the much larger range and the unfavorable supply situation, between Frankfurt and Hamburg no gas station. Promised more than 500 km range is not enough in this situation. And
in practice less than 500 km mostly remain.
Not only because of this, Honda initially will lease 200 of these cars to authorities in Japan. In Europe, one gets use of the vehicle probably only within certain projects. Striking is the similarity of the data sheets and
prices at least compared with Hyundai.
21 public filling stations (Germany) |
Refuelling takes not much longer than usual and the inside space is not significantly smaller than in a pure electric car. Weight and acceleration behave similarly, difficult to reach higher speeds above 120 km/h. No
wonder, from the fuel cell is significantly less power available than required at full throttle. And the battery can supply only a limited time.
So it is an electric car, just as quiet, too. Operated with hydrogen produced from green electricity. In the end there are only water vapor and no harmful emissions. The pure fuel costs are more in petrol as in the diesel
range. 05/16
