It’s hard to believe that it’s already been more than two years since we first covered Q’orianka Kilcher’s acceptance of a Honda FCX hydrogen-powered car. At that time, at 17, she was the youngest person ever to lease the green vehicle. Two years later, with her lease up — the actress has upgraded to the new Honda Clarity. Last week, she took delivery of the new car in Santa Monica, California. Quite possibly, she’s the only driver in the United States to never own a car that was not powered by hydrogen fuel. Amazing.

“Since my first car was the Honda FCX, I am proud to say that I have never pumped a gallon of gasoline,” said Kilcher. “As a young person, I feel it is my responsibility to always try my best to think about the consequences of my actions and choices as a consumer, and the impact they have on our planet.”
