Honda has officially ceased production and sales of the CR-V e:FCEV, a plug-in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The company confirmed that no 2027 model year will be released, with the final unit delivered to a customer in July 2026. Over its entire production cycle, only about 300 vehicles were leased to consumers.
Launched in February 2024, the vehicle was produced at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio. It featured a fuel cell system developed in partnership with General Motors. The car offered a 29-mile electric-only range and a total range of 270 miles, and it was available exclusively in California through a leasing program.
Honda will continue to provide maintenance, parts, and warranty support for existing lessees until their contracts expire. The company previously announced the end of production for the joint fuel cell system with General Motors and is now shifting focus toward developing its own next-generation hydrogen technology.
The market for hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles remains limited due to a lack of infrastructure, with refueling stations concentrated in specific regions of California. Low sales figures for competitors like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo further highlight the challenges facing the segment against the backdrop of growing electric vehicle adoption.
