The Only FCEV Made In America

We’ve hinted at this FCEV the past few editions (check those out here), but Honda has finally “broken ground” on the project. Production of the all-new 2025 CR-V e: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) officially began at Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio.

This FCEV is the only one made in America, and is the first production hydrogen FCEV in the US to combine an all-new US-made fuel cell system with plug-in EV charging capability.

Production Technicians at PMC are implementing various innovations to make this American-made FCEV the best possible. With new components, a new weld system, and paint system modifications, PMC is hoping to become the standard while laying the groundwork for American FCEV production.

America’s most popular vehicle with Gen Z, first-time buyers, and multicultural customers is getting a refresh. That’s right! The 2025 Civic builds on the success and hype of the 2022 North American Car of the Year, offering style and variety.

This refreshed Civic lineup comes with new technology, and available hybrid-electric powertrain. Oh, and did we mention the new hybrid-electric models are offered as a sedan or hatchback?
