The most important electric vehicle since the Tesla Model S? — via drivingdotca NewVehicles FamilyVehicles ElectricVehicles
. Unlike every other FCEV sold — or even proposed — the CR-V will be a plug-in. That would appear to mean that like, again, the aforementioned RAV4 and Outlander PHEVs, it will have a larger battery — probably between 10- and 20 kWh — that will allow perhaps up to 60 kilometres without using the main engine… er, fuel cell stack. In other words, it appears that this new CR-V will provide the battery autonomy required for urban driving with the fuel cell simply reserved for longer trips.
The advantage of such a combination is manifold. For one, inner-city travel retains the same low-cost, off-peak charging costs as BEVs. Eliminating range anxiety, once extra-urban refuelling infrastructure is developed — probably to be led by the needs of the trucking industry — becomes the same quick, easy process as refuelling a conventional automobile. And since it is powered by a combination of fuels, the need for multiple recharging infrastructures would disappear.
There will, of course, be compromises to this seemingly idyllic solution, especially with this new Honda. Finding room for both a high-pressure hydrogen tank as well as the considerable bulk of lithium-ion battery will be a challenge. That’s doubtless why Honda is starting with a roomy sport ute that can afford to accommodate certain volume considerations before taking on a tightly packed sedan.
