About Honda Clarity Electric

The Honda Clarity Electric is an all-electric front-wheel drive sedan. It came out in 2017. Honda stopped making the Honda Clarity Electric in 2021.

The Honda Clarity Electric has a 25.5 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 89 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 27.2 kWh per 100 miles (or 272 Wh/mile) — ranked №533 out of 566 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Honda Clarity Electric

The Honda Clarity Electric is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 120 kW (161 hp) of power and 221 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 8 seconds (ranked â„–367 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 100 mph.

Real-world range of Honda Clarity Electric

The estimated real-world range for Honda Clarity Electric falls between 80–98 miles, ranking it №539 out of 572 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

  • Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
  • Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
  • Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
  • Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

Honda Clarity Electric charge port type?

The Honda Clarity Electric in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 6.6 kW, which translates to roughly 22 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Honda Clarity Electric supports a maximum DC charging rate of 80 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use our Charging calculator.

Honda Clarity Electric dimensions and weight?

Here are the dimensions and weight for the Honda Clarity Electric:

  • Length: 192.7 in
  • Width: 73.9 in (including side mirrors) or N/A in (excluding side mirrors)
  • Height: 58.2 in
  • Wheelbase: 108.3 in (distance between the center of the front and rear wheels)
  • Curb weight: 4023 lbs (weight of the empty car, no people or cargo)
Honda Clarity Electric cargo capacity?

Here's a breakdown of the Honda Clarity Electric cargo space:

  • Trunk capacity: With the rear seats up, you get 14 cubic feet of cargo space in the back (ranked â„–360 out of 572 electric vehicles).
  • Max cargo capacity: Fold down the rear seats, and you open up N/A cubic feet of total cargo space (ranked â„–N/A out of 572 electric vehicles).
  • Frunk capacity: The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).
Honda Clarity Electric towing capacity?
The car isn’t officially rated for towing.
