As noted above multiple times, it really does depend on each owner's circumstances. Having two Claritys continues to be very convenient and cost effective for us. High electricity costs here in California ($0.47 per kW average last year for our household) have minimal impact because we have a net-zero rooftop solar system, so charging both cars costs nothing. Our first Clarity (bought in December 2018 and used occasionally for cross-country trips) has been driven 66% EV over 63k miles; the second Clarity (bought in February 2025) is 88% EV over the 8k miles we've put on it (53k total on the odometer). Of course, we did have to pay for our rooftop solar but, based on my calculations, we'll hit total return-on-investment for that sometime in the next few months. Given our circumstances, both PHEVs and solar have been exceptionally cost-effective. As an added bonus, the Claritys have been exceptionally comfortable, efficient, and easy to maintain cars. While it certainly won't be the case for everyone, it sure hit the sweet spot for us
