I was wondering if Honda has made public the cost of their fuel cells for their FCX? There has been a lot of chatter about the cost of these cells ranging from about that of a gasoline to 10x the cost. Anyone have a link that says for sure? I know they are just leasing the cars now, but I wonder if there is a cost estimate for what they would cost if there were selling them.
We can only go by what similar cars were projected to cost. One rumor mill had a hollywood star buying one for over $100,000. Honda won't say either, why should they? Toyota has a Fuel Cell car for lease in Japan, see below. I can't believe the cost, it says $7,684 / month. I have to believe that may be per year. As for the fuel, Honda will sell or lease a Hydrogen generator for your house. It will be connected to your natural gas supply. So your car will not pollute going down the road, it will pollute while being filled at your house. The cost per mile will be about the same as with a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, so there is no savings.
