Not just golf carts

"It's a good day for fuel cells and electric drives," said Steve Ellis, manager of U.S. sales of Honda Motor Co.'s FCX fuel- cell car. "It proves electric drives don't have to be golf carts."

He declined to say whether Honda would try to break Ford's record. Honda leases more than a dozen fuel-cell cars in the U.S. to city fleets and two individual owners in California.

A new sports-car version of Honda's FCX will be leased to U.S. customers in 2008 with a top speed that's electronically limited to 100 mph, Ellis said.
