2017 Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Latest Update:

The Honda Clarity is the first of three unique vehicles got ready for the hydrogen-electric car platform. The other two will be a standard hybrid and a module hybrid both of which are anticipated to be released in the last part of the year.

For decades, making a hydrogen-electric car have been a hotly debated issue in the business. What's more, a few automakers came up with prototypes. Toyota was the main automaker to showcase with the Mirai. Presently, Honda delivers the Clarity.

The Honda Clarity is a five-passenger car controlled by a hydrogen fuel cell. The fuel cell makes power which charges a battery and powers an electric engine. There is no need for fuel or gasoline, and there will be no internal combustion motor of any sort. There will also be no need for charging cables or need to look for the closest charging station. It's the best of both worlds.

As indicated by DigitalTrends, the Clarity will also be accessible as a totally electric vehicle and as a plug-in hybrid with a gas engine. With respect to the design, the Clarity is noticeable and unique. The back wheels are partially bordered by the bumpers, making it look full. It also clears a path to a bigger passenger compartment. The Clarity's roofline slides back the distance back to the storage compartment too; this gives it a four-door coupe look.

Digital Trends released a report in regards to the estimating for the 2017 Honda Clarity as well. The numbers pencil out like this - Honda will rent you the Clarity for 36 months for $2,848 down and $369 a month. That is $16,132 out of your pocket. But, Honda will also purchase your first $15,000 worth of hydrogen at the accessible stations in California. A total refill costs about $90, so that is around 167 fill-ups, and at the EPA-evaluated 366 mile go per tank, that is more than 60,000 miles. It's not an accidental or coincidence event that the rent accompanies a 60,000-mile limit. The net cost is as of now down to $1,132 to drive the Clarity for three years.
