New Honda Clarity FCV Gets An EPA-Rated 366-Mile Driving Range, Longer Than Any Current EV

The 2017 Honda Clarity has the best range rating of any electric vehicle that lacks an internal combustion engine in the United States.

According to the Japanese automaker, the fuel cell model returns the gasoline equivalent of 68 mpg (3.46 lt/100 km) combined, which translates into an EPA driving range of 366 miles (589 km) on a single tank of hydrogen.

“Not only does the Clarity Fuel Cell fit five passengers and refuel in three to five minutes, it offers customers a driving range on par with gasoline-powered cars. The Clarity leads the pack with a 366-mile driving range rating, and with a growing network of hydrogen stations and fast fueling time, the zero-emissions family road trip is no longer science fiction“, said American Honda’s VP of the Environmental Business Development Office, Steve Center.

The Clarity comes with a fuel cell system and integrated powertrain almost the same size as a V6 engine, which fit entirely under the hood, thus allowing for more space inside. The North American model should have similar specifications to the Japanese market Clarity, which uses a 174 horsepower electric motor and has a fuel stack capacity of 100 kW.

Honda has yet to release pricing details for the hydrogen-powered sedan, but it’s expected to cost roughly $60,000.
