What's New for 2025?
The CR-V Fuel Cell debuts this year with a novel "plug-in hydrogen" powertrain, by which we mean there's a plug-in battery pack that can provide the energy on its own, and then there are twin hydrogen tanks that back the battery up, just like the gas tank backs up the battery in a plug-in hybrid. Intrigued? Don't get your hopes up unless you live in California and don't mind leasing.
