From what i heard, the car is available only as lease. You can lease the car at $500(Rs20K) per month in the US. The price of 1 KG hydrogen will be equivalent of Rs60 but the car will go about 200kms from 4 KG hydrogen. If ever Honda brings this thing here, they will lease it at about Rs.50K per month.

Looks cool though.

hey ramie looks like 200kms come from 4KGs of Hydrogen and not one like you have calculated.

besides looks like your math skills don't match upto your photoshop skills .

cost per km = rs.60/200kms which is rs.0.30 a km. but of course we know that it takes 4KGs to get 200kms which is rs.240/200km = rs.1.20.

now even at rs.20k a month for the lease thats by far the cheapest way to get around at the moment!! and wouldn't cost of hydrogen production go down as more people demand for it?? surely they would have made some progress in the field of production and storage of hydrogen in the years to come.
