Honda FCX

http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity/
Honda has upgraded their hydrogen powered car to use a lithium ion battery instead of a capacitor.  I find this comical.  Now it's even more of an electric car than ever before.  Except, I still can't plug it into my outlet and charge, I have to let the expensive hydrogen system charge the battery using hydrogen that's not yet sold at any of my local gas stations.  How is that more convenient charging than plugging it into my garage?  Of course the battery isn't really the storage medium for energy.  The hydrogen system is.  Why would I want to pay for all that extra technology?  Save the space and just give me a bigger battery and a plug instead.
