The FCX Clarity is powered only by hydrogen and electricity, emits only water. It is two times more energy efficient than a gasoline-electric hybrid and three times that of a standard gasoline car.

Only a small group of consumers the chance to learn sign a three-year lease for the new FCX Clarity. But it comes at a high price for some. $ 600 per month, however, the lease covers all maintenance costs and protection against collisions.

The fuel cell is based on energy synthesized through a chemical reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen in the air, and a lithium-ion battery provides extra power. The FCX Clarity has a range of about 270-miles per tank with the equivalent of the hydrogen consumption to 74 miles per gallon, according to the manufacturer. It has a top speed of 100 miles per hour. Not that anyone should be driving at that speed.
