Honda is finally starting to move into electric vehicles with its Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, and just a few days ago, Honda brought the Honda Clarity Electric to dealerships in California and Oregon. We spent a week with the fully electric flavor of the Clarity family and came away loving some parts of it … and not so excited about other aspects. Let’s start with the specs.
The new 2018 Honda Clarity Electric is finally available in dealerships across California and Oregon, but only as a lease. Honda’s second modern electric vehicle follows the Honda Fit EV, which was also only available as a lease to prospective drivers.
The Tesla Model 3 appears to have been the top selling fully electric car in the United States in the first quarter of 2018. If you believe my estimates (see more on those below), #2 and #3 on the list were the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X.
A couple of weeks ago, we announced the 2018 CleanTechnica Car of the Year finalists. The results were resounding. This was the full description of the winning car: “Well, it’s a car. It does car things.”
It’s time to vote on the electric car released between Q3 2017 and Q2 2018 that you think will have the most positive impact on the world. This is our 3rd annual CleanTechnica Car of the Year award, with the first two winners being the Tesla Model X and Chevy Bolt.
A CleanTechnica reader has owned a Honda Clarity PHEV for about 2 months and writes to tell us what he likes about his car and what he thinks Honda could improve.
A CleanTechnica reader has purchased one of the first Honda Clarity PHEVs in America and shared his impressions with us. There are a lot of questions about this car. Here are some answers.

The Honda Clarity PHEV is here and it’s a pretty nice car. Good enough to buy? Watch these three videos, then decide.
As just noted in the first part of this two-part series, we decided to take a look at the most fuel efficient (i.e., gas efficient) cars on the market in the US (that article) and then take a look at the most energy efficient cars in the USA (this article). There are both similarities and differences that stood out after doing so, but there’s basically one key take-home point. We also came away with some automotive suggestions for buyers with different needs. Without further to do, let’s jump in.
