Combined PHEV & BEV numbers look strong 1234 Clarity 983 Volt 2050 Prius Prime Wonder what the split will be? Update: 881 PHEVs for Feb.
It seems like it has been about 2/3 PHEVs. The EV has a superb price though, Honda has to be selling those for a loss for emissions credits.
881 Clarity PHEV 104 Clarity Electric 243 Clarity FCV ...oh right, I almost forgot all about the Fuel Cell. Decent numbers for the PHEV though.
Perhaps Honda is losing on the EV but I wonder. They can leave out a lot of expensive hardware including the ICE, exhaust, transmission, radiator, etc.
. . . . and of course they don't have to include the "expensive precision" HV range display on the EV either.
I think long run EVs will be cheaper, batteries are the big hangup now. However, on Honda site they are showing the lease for the EV version is only $900 down and $200/mo for 36 months, which is maybe less than a Civic to lease. The Clarity is a much nicer car.
