Honda Clarity Battery Electric Car (BEV)

Honda strives to electrify two-thirds of global automobile unit sales in 2030. As zero-emission vehicles (ZEV),

Honda will strengthen the development of electric vehicles (battery EV) in addition to fuel cell vehicles (FCV).

The Clarity Electric is launched in December 2016 in U.S.A.

The Clarity Electric sedan is powered by a 161-horsepower (120-kilowatt) electric motor producing 221 lb.-ft. of torque and drawing power from a 25.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The vehicle can be fully charged in just over three hours at 240 volts and when using DC fast charging with the SAE Combined Charging System, it can achieve an 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes.

The model is anticipated to have an anticipated EPA fuel economy rating of 120/102/111 MPGe (city/highway/combined). Like the Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, the Clarity Electric features three selectable driving modes – Normal, Econ and Sport. The Clarity Electric will launch later this year, starting with an attractive lease program in California and Oregon.
