The 2017 Honda Clarity fuel cell electric sedan is expected to go on sale in the United States at the end of calendar year 2016. Honda has a three-prong plan related to the Clarity sedan. The hydrogen fuel cell version of the car will go on sale first. This car uses Hydrogen as a fuel to generate electricity for the car’s electric motors. It will be followed by an electric Clarity you can simply charge, and a plug-in gas/electric hybrid.
