Battery life expectancy and cost to replace

[baggyjp]

These are quite likely the BEV Clarity's. They were only available as leased vehicles and once the leases ran out, Honda took them off the road (this is a good use for their remains). They had a larger battery than the PHEV's (25.5 kWh instead of 17).

I think there were only around 1000 BEV's produced.

Thanks for the quick reply. Makes sense.

Follow up to original post. Article in Autoweek covered the B2U Solutions re-use of EV batteries. In English.

Does anybody have insight as to why so many Claritys are being dismantled for their battery packs.

Definitely BEV (all electric) Clarity’s.

The badge on the back also identifies it as an Electric model. Nearly all BEV Clarities were removed from service at the end of the original 3 year lease.

The modules in the Clarity, 14 in the PHEV and 21 in the BEV, are 48V each. This is a commonly used voltage for solar energy storage that falls within the parameters of many charge controllers and inverters.
