Remember Honda's Clarity, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell car other than Toyota Mirai. We also reported that Honda's current Clarity has begun to be rented and sold in Japan and the United States. Recently, Honda released the 2017 Clarity. We noticed that the 2017 model has made a lot of changes, more like an ordinary family car, the experience is closer to an Accord, which gives people a familiar feeling of driving a traditional vehicle, but it is more intense than some test. The electric car will return to the original, but only from the future.

Where is the 2017 new?

First of all, its complete system certainly does not have a traditional gasoline engine, but a group of hydrogen fuel cells, about the size of a desktop host, plus a motor and a set of lithium batteries. Simply put, in the entire hydrogen fuel cell stack, hydrogen and oxygen react chemically to generate electricity to drive the vehicle. Then, like a hybrid model, the motor and lithium battery pack can increase his speed, energy recovery and so on. And if you remember the chemistry knowledge of middle school, the only product after the reaction is water, without any emissions that increase air pollution or damage the climate.

Of course, these principles are the same as before, so what is the difference? This time Honda used a new fuel cell voltage control unit (FCVCU) on Clarity. According to official sources, FCVCU uses a new four-phase drive (Four-phase Drive) technology based on a four-phase silicon carbide integrated module (SiC-IPM), but staggering it by 90 degrees will eliminate current fluctuations caused by current conversion. The resulting ripple current is minimized, reducing the capacitance required to mitigate the ripple current, and a smaller capacitor can be used.

The old or current Clarity electric motor, gearbox, and PCU power control unit are under the so-called hood, but the fuel cell is placed vertically between the two seats in the front row, and that is used to store hydrogen. The huge hydrogen storage tank can be in the trunk. Therefore, sitting in the car, the space and the travel experience on the car are affected by the parts and connection structure.

However, in the 2017 Clarity, all the components previously placed under the hood were tilted forward by 90 degrees, so that smaller fuel cells could be placed horizontally between these components and the FCVCU. This set of structures can now be placed under the hood, the entire volume is almost the same as Honda's V6 engine. Although the lithium battery pack is still placed under the front seats, the volume has been achieved to almost no effect on the height of the seat. More importantly, after a series of structural simplifications, the current Clarity can sit as many as five people in a family car, instead of four on the old Clarity and Toyota Mirai. Oh, yes, its measurements are 4915 & TImes; 1875 & TImes; 1480mm, wheelbase 2750mm, um, is an Accord.

In addition, for that bulky hydrogen storage tank, Clarity first used the updated H70, which can increase the hydrogen compression standard by 10,000 PSI instead of the previously used 5000 PSI H35. This means that the hydrogen storage tank used in the trunk is smaller, or you can bring two hydrogen storage tanks and one under the rear seat. Of course, even this will still occupy a certain storage space, but the luggage space of more than 334 liters is already similar to an ordinary mixed intermediate car.

Another important improvement is the use of a new electronic turbine air compressor to draw more oxygen into the fuel cell. The old compressor is a bit like a supercharger. When you need to accelerate it, the supercharger will turn to a louder noise, just like the current Toyota Mirai. However, after switching to turbocharging, the noise generated is like an ordinary fan, and the feeling of driving is no different from that of an ordinary electric car.

In addition to these black technologies, Clarity also uses decorative materials like wood and leather in the interior, and it is top-notch in workmanship and materials, even more than NSX. The central control uses Honda's standard infotainment system, the 8-inch LCD screen supports Carplay and Android Auto, and SiriusXM Radio, HD Radio, Pandora and other Internet radio stations and audio books. Although it has not been able to use the updated interior of the latest CR-V on the overseas, Honda Sensing has not updated to the latest version of the driver assistance like adaptive cruise and front anti-collision warning, but the overall feeling is enough home, no that A kind of chilly feeling of science fiction. Of course, in this connected era, Honda also equipped Clarity with HondaLink's mobile phone application, which can remotely view the vehicle's fuel status, cruising range, nearby hydrogen facilities, and more.
