Honda’s FCX Clarity may be the most promising hydrogen fuel cell vehicle today, but good luck getting one. They’re only leasing 200 this year, and even those will only be offered in Southern California. It appears they’re being very selective about who they allow to pay $600 a month for the cars, instead of a first come first serve system.
It’s not easy to lease a new FCX Clarity
I just saw that the 2nd of only 200 people to receive the world’s first automobile engineered specifically for hydrogen fuel cell power will be Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband. She hasn’t starred in anything I’ve enjoyed since she did a very memorable strip tease in that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Does anybody remember what it was called?
I’ll dance in my underwear for a FCX Clarity!
Is that what it takes to be allowed the opportunity to pay $600 a month to lease this car? A strip tease for a future governor? If so, most of us stand little chance of ever driving one. At least now I understand why they’re only leasing them in Southern California.
Hydrogen Filling Stations Please!
Unless you live in Washington DC, New York State, or Southern California you’ll probably only be able to see the FCX Clarity on youtube. Hydrogen is getting cheaper and the amount of filling stations and infrastructure will expand, but when? I want one now!

With hydrogen and electric cars beginning to be put on the market, we are still in the “innovators” stage of product development.

Supply will be low and demand will be high, and unless you’re uber rich, a celebrity, or happen to have known someone on the management team since child-birth, you’ll have to wait.
It seems like California is the place to be to get one of the new hydrogen or electric vehicles coming out. It’s no surprise since there are a large number of alternative auto companies in California (plus gas prices are highest there)
Once they’re able to mass produce some of these vehicles, not only will prices come down, but they’ll be more readily available.
I know some of these companies don’t want to offer their vehicles outside of California until they are able to set up servicing stations across the US.
I think it’s really interesting because we are watching the transportation industry change in front of our eyes.
