dstrauss, enjoy your new car! jdonalds, I don't see any relationship between a 150 mile range error and hypermiling? I think that is what you say anytime you want a conversation to end, okay, so BYE guys, enjoy your forum.

Someone said that the huge error in HV miles seems to be caused by or related to EV miles vs gas miles. Apparently, the Clarity HV range error might be related to miles per gallon on EV (Is that right?). So, if someone is driving almost exclusively short ranges, EV only (except for the odd...

That's almost as good as Mr. Fusion on the Delorean. I had to log into to see the picture, almost choked on my coffee laughing.

At the Destiny Mall at Syracuse the other evening, mostly just for fun, I used one of the chargepoint chargers in the basement parking. It cost $0.65 per kWh! The highest I've seen here at this forum is $0.36/kWh on peak. Even before the solar panels I only paid $0.15/kWh including surcharges...

If there is a reason you need EV miles, it makes sense. For example, nearing a destination, you would rather be on battery in EV mode for local driving and the EV side is already down to two segments (what seems to be full allowed discharge). Or, someone cannot charge at home and they just...

yea, I'm totally confused about this engine-off business too. I thought the warm up aspect would explain why the engine stays on so long sometimes, but I also see it stay on for what seems like way too long. I think we have another commonly observed issue for the Honda chat (if it can happen)...

To the extent you can do so safely, just glance at the power meter when braking. The Clarity can be driven efficiently like any other car. Honda did a superb job with the blended braking (electromagnetic braking transitioning to friction brakes). I've noticed a nice amount of regen as I brake...

I guess I'm an outlier on this one, it doesn't bother me so much. Given the relatively light regen, it's kind of funny how strong the warning is in the manual about engaging paddle regen too quickly. I bet they were worried about accidents, with the typical Honda driver being less familiar...

Agree (number of bars), but there should also be a numeric display at least of the number of bars, or percentage is fine too. The segments are so small, I cannot get an accurate number with just a glance. Or, maybe different marks or colors every few segments, maybe with some extra long lines...

I've noticed the same thing here, two have been at the local dealership for a while now, with a third on order. I don't think EVs do well here (central NY between Syracuse and Albany). Some time back when I made some inquiries about the LEAF, the local dealer said no one around here wants a...

yes, in the NE, many of us were down to 30-31 EV miles (actual) in the very cold weather, completely normal for EV batteries combined with use of electric cabin heat. However, the reset question is interesting. It will be really interesting to see if we go above 47 EV miles in the summer, and...

funny, I haven't seen that one yet (I like it). Curiosity either kills us, or it keeps us young.

The home version of the chargepoint 32A L2 240V EVSE gives a nice display on the imac (also, I finally found it on the iPhone app too): It's not perfect in the sense that there are some losses between what is supplied by the charge cord apparatus, the electric vehicle supply (or service?)...

Similar problem here. Bought it on a Saturday (early Dec), and by around Monday looked it up at the NYSERDA website to see if I had the right paperwork for the NY tax forms. My heart fell through the floor when I read the part about day of sale and realized that it might be too late and that...

NY has an interesting "point of sale" system (underline is link to NYSERDA page). The dealer deducts the rebate amount from the final purchase price the day of the sale.
