Are Alternative Fuels Only for the Rich and Famous?
When I read the news, my first reaction was, âCool! When can I get one?â It turns out that I canât. Honda is delivering about 200 of these babies to folks in Japan and California who were specially selected. Hondaâs criteria included more than just a credit score: Customers had to live near an existing or planned hydrogen fueling station, have certain driving patterns and storage capabilities, and pass an interview with the folks at Honda. Sheesh! Iâve seen Ph.D.s that were easier to get! And Hondaâs not selling the Clarity, either. Itâs available only with a lease. Honda wants to make sure that these cars are well taken care of and not chopped up by some hack mechanic. I guess that makes sense, but it sure seems like a lot of work to drive this wonder of environmental friendliness.
