Toyota’s FCV is an all-electric, four-door sedan that makes its own electricity on board. As described by Toyota, it utilizes the same hybrid technology developed for its hybrid synergy drive systems found on vehicles like the Prius, but replaces the gasoline engine with a fuel cell stack.

The Toyota FCV is expected to be available in California late 2015.
