What's this, for 1 point?:
Remember - solving puzzles using 'Google Search by Image' is BANNED on AutoPuzzles!

Looks like some sort of Honda fuel cell vehicle. An FCX?

It is an experimental fuel cell vehicle, yes, which is almost enough for the point as I don't actually know who built it..
All you'll need to do to earn the point is tell me what it's rather boringly described as... (Battery/Fuel Cell EV Design ***** ***** *****).
You can have a lock if you want it!

Honda EV Plus seems to be its complete name. Predeccesor to the Insight.

Not quite as the EV Plus is what this Battery/Fuel Cell research car is based on..
Locked for you to see if you can say what all those asterisks mean (and the number of them bear no relation to the number of letters/number...)!

How about Honda EV Plus Fuel Cell eXperimental Vehicle 1. There was also a V2 with a Methanol derivedfuel cell as opposed to V1s Hydrogen. I'm not sure its possible to tell which from the photograph.

Your're in reverse gear a bit..
It's the Battery/Fuel Cell Design ******* **
This time the asterisks represent the number of characters of the missing words/numbers.
Have another go!

Lithium EV?

Lithium EV?
No..

Is the initial Honda FCX Hydrogen Fuel Cell 'ZEV' car the name you are looking for (?), is this is what Honda originally called a prototype derivative of the car that shared its body shell with the production EV Plus, as sold in California from 1997-99.

Battery/Fuel Cell Design Concept EV ?

No, not that..

No, but you're not a million miles away..
-

So it's based on an Honda EV Plus, but it hasn't been built by Honda ?
-
I don't know if Honda built it or if it was some Institute or Ministry who did it using a Honda body.

Battery/Fuel Cell Design
Clarity Ballard EV?
-
Battery/Fuel Cell Design Clarity Ballard EV?
No; the missing word isn't really a name as such, more a designation about its place in the EV development programme.
-
Battery/Fuel Cell Design Seventh EV?
-
At last I've found the source of the puzzle picture and it's simply called Honda EV : see the decal next to the rear wheel arch. I don't know where the "Battery/Fuel Cell Design ******* **" designation is coming from.
Or are you looking for the word "package" ? The chapter where the snapshot has been taken from is entitled "Battery/fuel-cell EV design packages".
-
Actually that's not the site I got it from.
It came from a Japanese site about electric vehicles, where it was described as being part of a state programme for developing electric cars and was described as "Battery/Fuel Cell Design Package 12", so I'll call it solved as you have got just about all of it.
Oddly the site never mentioned Honda at all, but I took it that it was not a standard Honda EV as I don't think that would be described as a Fuel Cell vehicle. I may be wrong though, as the words were translated from Japanese using Google Translate, and maybe it's just a standard car. I'll try to find the site again and see if I can glean any further information.

Thanks for my 977th and first of 2019 point !
I feel Skut deserves a point too as he identified the car as an Honda EV.

Yes, you're right, he does.
I've been looking into this but haven't been able to find the Japanese site again.
I suspect the car is in fact a standard Honda EV so I'll change the title and give Skut his point.
