The Clarity Fuel Cell launched in December 2016, followed by the Clarity Electric on August 1, 2017. The Clarity Plug-in Hybrid is slated to arrive later in 2017.
The 2017 Honda Clarity Electric sedan is geared toward consumers who desire a spacious, comfortable and affordable sedan that suits their daily driving needs.
