In developing the FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), Honda has managed to strike the perfect balance between futuristic technology and the very human desire for a thrilling ride. The result amounts to zero emissions and maximum driving experience.
Honda co-developed a compact lithium-ion battery that serves as a supplemental power source in the FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV).
The battery replaces the ultra-capacitor from earlier FCX models, which took up space behind the rear seat. The battery is small enough to fit underneath the rear seat—yet another contributor to the elegant design of the FCX Clarity FCEV.
Honda’s FCX Clarity FCEV is much more efficient than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles in converting chemical energy into power.
In gasoline-powered vehicles, fuel (gasoline) is used to heat and expand air, which then drives the engine’s pistons and crankshaft. Fuel cell vehicles, on the other hand, are much more efficient, because the conversion of fuel (hydrogen) to electricity, used to power the electric drive motor, is a more direct electrochemical process. Water is a by-product.
And since the FCX Clarity FCEV has significantly fewer components in the drive system, no pistons and no camshafts, the energy loss from these systems is eliminated.
