I need your knowledge for my survey! Comfort Charging Survey (https://goo.gl/forms/MAFodndOpAT0gehB3) There, I said it, no sugarcoating it. As annoying as some of us (me including) might find surveys sometimes, they are important for going forward and developing improvements for our future...

Three years ago, I installed a 240 volt dryer outlet (with 40 amp service) at the head of my driveway, so my brother-in-law could charge his Tesla when he came to visit. Now I may buy a Chevy Bolt. It appears, however, that to home charge the new beast, I will also need to buy an EVSE (hate...

I've read numerous other posts about people who are wondering about why the ICE is coming on in different situations (going down a hill for example) but I thought I'd share my experience because I haven't seen anything about my specific case happening. Forgive me if I missed a previous thread in...

Raining day yesterday, so I thought I would show my home charging setup.

Hello, I have a Gen2 17 Volt. During the warmer months I can get 2 daily commutes in with a full charge. Is it better for the battery pack to charge each night when there is still about 50% of the charge remaining, or do it every other night after depleting the battery? In winter I deplete...

If this has been addressed before please disregard, but having only owned the car for 2 days, I’ve been frustrated by the HondaLink app’s inability to give me “real-time” charging information. Have tried numerous actions on the app such as: Swipe-down refreshing (the information disappears...

Hello Everyone, I'm interested in optimizing my battery charging routine to maximize the life of the battery. Through the research I've done, it's my understanding that there are several significant variables that need to be considered in order to avoid undo degradation of lithium-ion cells...

Flashing back to your very first drive in an EV - do you ever still feel like you have range anxiety? Here's what a few other drivers had to say :)

I have an XC60 that came with a 240v, 16amp charger (Aerovironment TurboCord) that does about 3.6kW (max rate for the XC60 I believe). I'm about to get a bolt which comes with its own 120v J1772 charger. The question is, can I use the charging cable that came with my XC60 on the Bolt? I...

Hi All, I am a very happy Clarity owner. I am very lucky to have a free level 2 charger at work (chargePoint) and also installed a level 2 charger at home. Is there anyway to tell what kW the car is currently charging at via the car dash or Honda app? I ask as I installed a non-wifi...

Only has my Clarity for 6 days and just got my ChargePoint. I think I have the definitive (hopefully) answer for the folks whose charging handles are hard to insert and remove. It’s clear that the o-ring is there to seal out moisture and engages toward the end of the insertion travel. This it...

Our Clarity has been great. One concern is an odd smell when using the feature where you hold down the HV button to charge while driving. We have only done this twice, but each time has led to an odd smell. Any one experience this or have any advice? Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and a new owner of a 2018 Clarity PHEV. I'm about to embark on a long road trip and am wondering what a good Android app is that will show me locations for charging stations across the southern states. Do people have a favorite app? Also, what kind of connector does the...

I can't seem to charge my new clarity electric fully. The charge indicator light goes off and the car is only charged to 51-mile range using the level 1 charger. I was expecting it to be fully charged to show 89 mile range. When I plugged into the the new level 2 charger, the charge indicator...
