![]() ![]() I've been driving ours for nearly 4 years now. The suspension on the Clarity is also extremely well engineered, providing a very stable and smooth ride. ![]() It runs a bit loud though when the battery is fully depleted, so it's always best to think ahead and save sufficient charge for after you get off the highway. The Clarity is (for all intents and purposes) a serial EV, meaning that the drive axle is turned by the electric motor, with the ICE serving as generator to recharge the battery as well provide power for higher load, higher speed driving. Though it's still best if you have charging available at your destination (you can get a full recharger overnight using the included 120V L1 EVSE and a normal 15A outlet). When the distance you are travelling will exceed the EV range, switch to HV mode when you get on the highway and let the ICE operate in its most efficient configuration. That's one of the big advantages of a PHEV you have the ICE for long distance drives without having to pay the higher cost of entry for a BEV with similar range. ![]()
