Honda Motor Co. announced a new version of its hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle (FCV) that can travel up to 400 miles and refuel in just three minutes.
The new Honda Clarity Fuel Cell's drive train technology is about one-tenth the cost of Honda's previous FCV the FCX Clarity. The fuel-cell technology is also smaller than in the previous vehicle. Pricing for the vehicle was not released.
"The fuel cell stack for this model was downsized by 33% compared to the previous version of the fuel cell stack and yet an output of more than 100 (kilowatts or kW)," Honda said in a statement.
The new smaller fuel cell stack is about a 60% power output improvement over the previous model, Honda added.

The Honda Power Exporter
...Acceleration aside, Honda has revealed another cool feature of the Clarity Fuel Cell. When plugged into another Honda gizmo called the Power Exporter 9000, the Clarity Fuel Cell can produce enough electricity to power an average home for approximately seven days — perfect during a natural disaster or run of the mill power outage. Granted, Honda likely means an average Japanese house, not an American home. So that number will likely come down a bit when the Power Exporter 9000 comes Stateside...

It's too expensive to build a Hydrogen infrastructure that would free us all of ever having to import oil again? Really?

The US spends >$2,000 PER SECOND bombing and invading lands 8,000 miles away. For shame. Count to ten- there's $20,000 gone- borrowed from your children. The biggest ripoff in human history. And no protests to speak of! Brilliant.
