The arrival  of the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle. 


There is one electric vehicle technology that refutes range anxiety; the FCEV. 

The market for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) is still quite niche and the vehicles are typically only available for sale or lease in specific regions (like California in the U.S., parts of Europe, and East Asia) where hydrogen refueling infrastructure exists.

The primary mass-produced FCEV models available on the market today are:

  • Toyota Mirai:

    • Currently in its second generation, this sedan is one of the most widely recognized FCEVs.

    • It's available in select markets globally, including the US (primarily California) and Japan.

  • Hyundai Nexo:

    • This is an SUV/crossover FCEV.

    • It is available in markets such as South Korea, California, and Europe.

  • Honda CR-V e:FCEV:

    • A newer entry for the 2025 model year, this is notable for being a plug-in fuel cell electric vehicle, meaning it can be charged via a plug like a standard EV in addition to being refueled with hydrogen.

    • It is being marketed in limited quantities, mainly for lease in California and available in Japan.

Other Models and Context:

  • Toyota Crown (FCEV variant): This fuel cell version of the Crown is marketed only in select regions like Japan and China.

  • Discontinued Models: The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell was a significant model but was discontinued after the 2021 model year.

  • Future/Limited Fleets: Other manufacturers, such as BMW with the iX5 Hydrogen, have small pilot fleets or are developing concepts for potential future mass-market release.

In summary, the passenger FCEV market is currently dominated by the Toyota Mirai, Hyundai Nexo, and the new Honda CR-V e:FCEV.

Would you like to know more about the driving range or refueling time for any of these specific models?
