Service Fuel Shop Guide
The way hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEV) generate electricity is very unique and requires special attention during maintenance. This blog will take you step-by-step through everything you need to know about how these vehicles work and how repair shops should handle them. What is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle? hydrogen power: These vehicles use hydrogen Store in pressurized jars. Zero emissions: The only by-product is water vapormaking them environmentally friendly. fuel cell stack: This is the heart of the vehicle, where hydrogen and oxygen react to produce electricity. electric motor: Like electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen-powered vehicles also use electric motor Powered by a fuel cell stack. How do hydrogen fuel cells work? Hydrogen input, electricity output: Hydrogen from the storage tank enters the fuel cell stack, passing through an anode with platinum catalyst. protons and electrons: Catalysts split hydrogen into protons and electrons. Protons pass through the membrane, and electrons create an electric current. oxygen reaction: Oxygen in the air…
Flash Drive: 2025 Honda CR-V e:FCEV
The First Plug-in Battery Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Goes on Sale This week Honda announced pricing for the CR-V e:FCEV, which is scheduled to go on sale in California (only) next month. In a first-ever technology pairing, Honda has mated plug-in battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric in the all-new 2025 CR-V e:FCEV. This breaks the norm of a fuel cell vehicle run solely on hydrogen. The e:FCEV advances the company’s zero emissions goals–100-percent of its vehicles will be battery electric or fuel cell electric models by 2040, and the company will reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Clean Fleet Report got a chance to give the model a short test drive recently ahead of the public launch. Getting To Know the CR-V e:FCEV 2025 CR-V e:FCEV, plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, is essentially a CR-V Hybrid with the addition of plug-in charging and with hydrogen replacing gasoline. With a 270-mile all-electric driving range (AER) from the 92.2 kW…
