[W]hat will Honda develop to take the place of hybrids if it doesn’t go electric? The company is looking at hydrogen and has developed working prototypes (the FCX shown above), as well as home hydrogen station prototypes. Fukui says that in 10 years hydrogen will be closer to a mass-market reality, and obviously the company doesn’t think it needs a stop-gap like plug-ins.
