On today’s high-powered episode of Quick Charge, we’ve got Honda fuel cell manager David Perzynski here to talk about Honda’s forty year history developing hydrogen powertrains, and the role Honda sees for HFCEVs in a battery dominated world.
Top comment by George Kafantaris
Honda’s divorce from GM is a sign that it sees the Trump Administration (and Elon Musk) as an obstacle to hydrogen development. Honda is thus looking elsewhere. This is unfortunate because the rest of the world is moving forward with hydrogen, and we might soon find ourselves on the outside looking in.
In the course of the conversation we talk about several hydrogen articles posted in 2024, as well as some Honda projects related to CES. You’ll be able to read more about those, below. Enjoy!
