phev

I'm looking to buy a new or used car which will primarily be used for around town daily driving but also needs to do a 300+ mile trip with >5000 ft elevation gain without stopping to recharge several times a year. Seems like I need a PHEV for this use case, so looking into PHEVs. Currently on my...

Apparently the price of gas is not enough of an incentive to charge and drive electric. I suppose the main issue is charging convenience for apartment dwellers or others with infrastructure challenges. I have heard that some just bought the PHEV because it was cheaper at the time given the tax...

I have a 2020 Kia Niro PHEV and for the last three months have only been able to charge it using an extension cord. I know this is not recommended but I have no choice as I am temporarily renting. I have the Type 1 charger plugged into a 14A outdoor extension cord just outside my front door and...

Hey all, been lurking on the forum for a few days, soaking up information since I'm thinking about buying a used Clarity when I get enough cash scrounged up. Found a lot of good stuff like how to keep the 12v battery from dying, not to let the traction battery drain completely before switching...

Hi everyone! I’m a market researcher from The Logit Group currently running a study on vehicle purchasing behaviour among consumers in the US, UK, Germany, and China. I am looking for respondents who currently own battery electric vehicles (BEV) . I would appreciate your participation as this...

Sorry if redundant - if posts or discussion exist, point me the right way! Living in Florida and (probably) not quite ready for full EV, but PHEV might well fit my travel needs for the near future and let me replace my (very good!) 2017 Subaru Outback. I have been treated like I was an idiot...

Would like to calibrate my purchase price to what others have recently paid for this PHEV.

Greetings everyone, I am trying to get a survey of the purchase price people have paid for a new 2021 TFSI-e. What I’ve researched suggests >$2k off MSRP. Hard data though, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I love the concept of PHEV. You can drive long-range with battery, and have gas a backup. That is the main reason why I bought the Clarity. But after I have driven Clarity for 2 weeks, I have never used a single drop of gas/oil. So I ask myself if I drive battery for 95% of the time, why I do I...

Hi guys, it's been a few years since I owned a hybrid so I thought I would catch up with the EV/hybrid/PHEV world. I've been reading about and watching videos on the Honda Clarity. I love the concept of the Clarity - an EV with range extender, which could work for me. I think the Clarity is...

I posted on the Toyota forum: https://insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/rav4-prime-phev-plug-in-for-2021-anyone-looking-at-this-new-39-mile-ev-range-cuv.7960/ Anyone here thinking of jumping ship or adding the RAV4 PHEV ???

Honda sounds like a corporation that has become dysfunctional at the boardroom level with no apperent clarity of vision nor direction. https://electrek.co/2019/12/26/honda-ceo-says-no-dramatic-increase-in-ev-demand/amp/ Factory workers n robots built a nice PHEV though...love the Clarity.

So guys, might seem funny but i'm young and really passionate about cars. Don't get me wrong i love my Clarity a lot, but i find it need a personal touch. Take this with a smile on your face and tell me WHAT DO YOU THINK? :) Is just a photo of the build i'm aiming for. Source ...

The dealers are supposed to keep the batteries charged, but let's say that the battery sat there low for the majority of a year in the dealer's lot. Would this be a concern of yours buying a new 2018 Clarity PHEV or would the battery management system protect it? I know others are finding great...

Bought a 2018 Touring PHEV a couple weeks ago and am loving it so far! Don't get to charge too often, but I do get free charging at Uni during semester. Now, I just did a full tank and noticed the HV range was marked at 219 miles. On Honda's website describing the range, it says: Combined...

Here’s an interesting article about the future of PHEVs as we drive down the road to a future of EVs over gasmobiles. https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2019/06/25/in-the-battle-against-co2-will-flawed-expensive-battery-power-lose-out-to-flexible-hybrids/#9be8a735f2de Can’t wait to hear...

I wanted to share my recent experience in the hope that it may help others. I charge using the 110V EVSE. I recently found my clarity was charging very slowly. Almost 24 hours to fully charge. I noticed that the charger was flashing orange, even though the charge door light was green. After...

Hi all! I'm considering a PHEV but I have a townhouse with no garage. My neighbor has a diesel truck that they plug in during the winter and they say they've never had issues. Is there anyone out there who has a PHEV and lives in a similar situation? Very interested in your experiences and...

Here is a link to a recent article by PluginAmerica on their take on the future of PHEVs. An interesting article, but their main points are that PHEVs are not new ground up designs and that they have ranges under 30 miles. Of course this ignores the Clarity (again!!) and they make no mention of...
