The hydrogen-controlled Toyota FCV, reviewed by a strangely styled idea by the same name, will cost what might as well be called about $69,000 in Japan when it goes at a bargain as ahead of schedule as not long from now. Toyota executives said they had reduced from an introductory focus of 10 million yen ($98,000 at current trade rates) and that the most recent value would be aggressive with other option fuel displays available (read: Tesla's Model S). In the wake of hitting the Japanese business, Toyota's FCV will go marked down in California by next summer.
Toyota hasn't set a U.s. cost yet, albeit given the brand's present lease program for its Highlander-based FCHV displays in the U.s. also Japan–which have secured more than 1.2 million miles, by the way–we'd anticipate that the FCV will go with the same pattern. Indeed at Lexus value levels, Toyota ought to have some difficulty offering a couple of dozen autos to the early hydrogen adopters ready to pay the premium. (Honda has demonstrated that early-adopter hypothesis with its $600-for every month FCX Clarity that will be supplanted one year from now by another hydrogen vehicle.) Other than the Japanese estimating data, Toyota did not uncover any new details or insights about the FCV; we knew it has an expected 300-mile go and will brag the capacity to go about as a generator to power holders' ho
