Thank you all for the info - it's good to have a work-around to get what I was trying for, even if the designers didn't make it easy.

Haven't seen any discussion of this, so I'll ask... Is there a way to get the climate control to operate in a "vent" mode, where the fan is bringing in fresh air but not heating or cooling it? Now that we're into cooler weather, there are times I'd like a little fresh air but don't really want...

Absolutely! Offer more combinations, or at least swap the black for a lighter gray. I really don't get the appeal of black/very-dark-gray - even here in New England, the summer sun on a black interior makes it thoroughly unpleasant. Wanting a light interior seriously limits the outside color...

I would love to be able to do this, as it's well within my abilities, but my town does not allow homeowners to pull electrical permits. :(

So I just got my first estimate for EVSE installation here in MA: $650. This is in an attached garage; the charger and disconnect are already mounted, so it amounts to about a 30' run of 8g cable through unfinished space to an existing subpanel in my basement, for which I already have the new...

Here's from when the plates were first announced: https://blog.mass.gov/transportation/rmv/rmv-electric-vehicle-plate/ My dealer tried to resist providing one, but I insisted (as I do think the first-responder safety aspect is significant, especially on a less-common vehicle that may not be...

To answer the other questions - Sport Mode does not engage the gas engine "by default" but it does lower the point at which it will come on. You absolutely can drive in Sport Mode using electric, but it's pretty easy to trigger the engine when accelerating - much easier than in ECO mode...

Low fuel light came on at 2 bars for me - stopped for gas almost immediately and it took 5.93g, so there was only a gallon or so left at that point. This is based on a sample size of one since that's how many times I've added fuel! (Though it was nice how fast I was in and out of the gas...

After a round of shampooing gunk from some messy cargo out of the felt-like trunk carpet, I decided I needed a trunk mat. None of the aftermarket brand names had a custom fit one, and the Honda one doesn't cover enough, so I ended up ordering one of these inexpensive cut-to-fit ones...

I had an interesting day of Clarity driving today. I have a little over 2k miles on the car, nearly all of which has been electric, so that's the personality of the car that I know and love. Today brought two different alternate experiences: the good and the bad of the ICE. 1) Since I was at...

I just discovered that mine were also over-inflated. Hopefully no harm done. From the comments here, dealers seem to have an amazingly hard time correctly executing the pre-delivery checklist. Very disappointing, makes me wonder what else they're missing...

Here in MA, I think our numbers are growing, if slowly. Seems like I'm seeing several around here with some regularity lately. OTOH the MOR-EV stats still show only "1-5" Hondas in all but 2 (!) ZIP codes in the state, so maybe it's just a handful of us that happen to pass one another regularly!
