IHS expects that during the next 11 years, the number of available FCEV models will jump to 17 from the current three (Toyota Mirai, Hyundai ix35/Tucson and the Honda Clarity), as more OEMs add FCEVs to their product portfolios. This can be achieved using an electrolyzer and electricity from a renewable source (solar PV, wind turbine etc.).
