Second clarity owned and still my favorite. Not an Escalade big bulky and tons of room BUT I would say my 5’10” /280 lb. Fits well. Only issue is wipers they do not spray as most do they “trickle” and require mor fluid to clean. Ride comfortable trunk can carry Portable Power Wheel chair. Now for the best part—- most of my driving miles are less than 70 miles a trip — in the spring and fall average MPG over 95 MPG. Summer over 60 MPG - winter over 55 MPG… I use excel spreadsheet to track. My last Clarity on 35,000 miles averaged 90 MPG. Only future issues will be AVAILABILITY— this car is driven on the EAST END OF L. I. NY. Where electricity costs from .22 to .24 cents per Kwh.

Great vehicle

We love this car. If you live within 20 to 25 miles of your work this is a great vehicle. Until the pandemic, my wife drove this to work every day and in a year’s ownership we only bought gas twice and one of those was because we pushed it so the gas engine would kick in so we could see how that worked. It works great. The Clarity charges overnight in our garage on a regular 110 V outlet and we get 50 miles on a charge. In a few years we will have charging stations everywhere and more electric vehicles but for now this fits the bill.

ELECTRIC MILES PER CHARGE

Overall, I found the car to perform nicely, very comfortable, roomy, and storage space is adequate. My problem with the 2020 Clarity hybrid is when I purchased the car I could charge to 46 miles and get 46 miles travel, 8 months later it only charges to 35 miles and 35 miles travel, ( I am not a lead foot). I have taken the car to the dealer 2x , and they report NO PROBLEMS.

I wanted to get an electric car but had a bit of range anxiety. I decided to get a plug-in hybrid with a long electric range and luckily I discovered the Clarity. I have had the car for almost three months and love everything about it. It is so quite on the highway and comfortable - and I have only filled it up once after a long drive to our cabin.

Last September 2023, I bought a used 2020 Clarity Touring, with 45,000 miles. The car's MSRP shows it has Tire Pressure Monitoring System. True, but only gives a warning when 1 of its tires is low. It doesn't show the tire pressure to each tire. The car is only 3 years old. The main battery only allows 39-40 miles after fully charged. Not 48.

Runs quiet, good acceleration. Quite a lot to fiddle with on the displays. Getting 43mpg in hybrid mode.
