Hello;
I am typically driving 80km( 50 mile) back and forth from work return trip and thus I am generally full on normal summer days and when I return , my battery is empty depending on weather.
Now that winter is coming and I am in Canada , so temperature has started dropping here , so now I...
Hello
I wanted to see if anyone else is only getting about 217-220 miles with a full tank of gas in the clarity PHEV. If so, what is the reasoning for such low mileage,
Below is an estimate of the CO2 emissions in metric tons saved by the Clarity PHEV over the highly efficient 2019 Honda Insight.
I have several disclaimers, notes, and cautions:
This is not a full Life Cycle Analysis study (LCA) that covers all environmental impacts, but rather just an...
Planning on getting a PHEV in the coming year.
Each one seems to have a drawback...and since I have not owned a PHEV before I'm trying to figure out what should be most important to me since it seems like I won't get everything i want in one car.
If you were buying one today, what would be...
Depending on your personal/family needs it may not worth to shell out extra money for a PHEV. Here is a quick study. A Honda Clarity or Chevy Volt PHEV sells in Canada in the range of C$39.9k and C$43.9k. A Prius is about $10-15k less. (With our new Ontario government - no more incentives to...
Hey all!
I was wondering if anyone knows what sort of weather the box portion of the 120V Charger (that comes with the Clarity) can handle. I know the front end (J1772 plug) can handle rain and such, but I don't have anywhere to hang the actual box part of the charger on the side of my house...
Some of us care about climate change and want to minimize our own carbon footprint. A year ago, in deciding which new car to buy, I decided to calculate which model would minimize my driving CO2, given my own driving pattern. You may think the largest EV range available in a PHEV would...
This car's styling is beautiful.
It's like a modern day, retro-futuristic styling.
A part of me really wishes it was a hatchback, with less of a sloped back.

Having just mocked Via motors a week ago, I noticed that just yesterday they announced a partnership with Geely to produce EREVs for China, Latin America and North America.
I was wondering why the company pretty much went radio silent for 8-10 months. At least they were doing something behind...
A couple websites have noted that during the Silverado reveal this week, GM discussed having 6 engines/powertrains for the Silverado. But at the event they only actually revealed 3 of them. ( 6- and 8-cylinder gasoline and diesel )
What are the remaining 3?
They didn't discuss the e-assist...
The Volt may become a crossover in its next incarnation. But it is looking like 2019 will bring a mid-cycle refresh.

What new features or changes would you like to see?
Personally I...
I wrote up a review to my new Honda Clarity PHEV. I will update it with more pictures when I get a chance, mainly need some interior shots.
Review at: https://wordpress.com/post/carswithplugs.wordpress.com/37
Overall, I really like the car. I love the standard safety features and size of...
The Fisker Karma was one of the first plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on the market. It offered an upscale electric experience, but the company suffered many misfortunes and eventually saw the departure of its founder Henrik Fisker (who has since gone on to start another company, Fisker Inc...
According to Green Car Reports, the standard C-Max hybrid will continue to be produced until next summer.
But the Energi has been unceremoniously killed. Despite the fact that nearly 50% of all C-Max’s sold were the plug-in variant. That will basically cut Ford plug-in sales in half next year...
Pamela Fletcher has been leading teams on various EV projects such as the Spark EV, Bolt EV, Volt, and ELR. But she also led the development of Super Cruise. There were several interviews with her last year following the CES reveal of the mostly-final Bolt EV.
The fact that she is now taking...
I bought a Prius in 2005 and had it converted to a Hymotion PHEV in 2009. Later I sold it to my granddaughter at a low price. I gave courses on hybrid cars for the local YMCA Open University.
I bought a Highlander Hybrid in 2009 and tried to convert it to a PHEV in 2014 and failed. I traded it...
The Outlander PHEV has a lot going for it, which Inside EVs discovered when we made it out to the first drive event. Decent price, that popular crossover size. four-wheel-drive, and CHAdeMO fast charging. But wait, there's more! >Read here<
