Setting aside the even more ridiculous “reducing carbon emissions” excuses for running cars, taxis and buses on electricity, there is one clear benefit to electricity: clean air. Imagine how much nicer London and big cities would be without diesel exhaust fumes from taxis and buses.
Some are imagining just that, as London recently debuted two hydrogen fuel cell-powered taxis, soon to be followed by five hydrogen fuel cell buses.
Not wanting to miss the bus, so to speak, Honda has decided to bring the FCX Clarity to the UK.
Powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, it is the first car designed and built from the ground up and is refueled at gas stations just like a conventional car, with the only waste product from the process being water.
The Clarity has a top speed of 100 mph and a range of 270 miles.
