I'm from a rural suburb of Montreal, Quebec and a PHEV newby, just received a 2019 Clarity Touring that is replacing a Honda Ridgeline, I commute everyday to work, about 140 km. It will be charged at home using a Level II charger and at work it will be charged using a 120 volts outlet (not the best), I try to have that changed.
Always been a Honda fan, from S2000 to Ridgeline, it will be interesting going green.
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your first PHEV. Thats quite the transition from a Ridgeline and I'm sure it will make commuting much more enjoyable and economical.
Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new car. I have had one since Sept 1 and have slightly over 6000 trouble free miles, I too like Honda products, I have owned or lease several Acuras, so I was comfortable with the transmission push button selectors and familiar with the LKAS system.
Never have been to Montreal before but I have a trip scheduled for mid April this year.
For the new buyers, if you purchase the 2019 Touring, it does not come with electric seats and memory, you still get Navi, leather, etc.
So not sure it's worth paying for the Touring package, the basic should be sufficient.
Being a northern resident, I needed winter tires, so I got the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 size 245/40-18, wider and better handling, the OE size limits your choices.
Congratulations on your Clarity purchase! Coming from a Ridgeline that probably barely saw 13L /100km you should see a huge drop in your gasoline bill, even with only a level 1 charger available at work.
Hi, I have a L2 charger and the most I get on a full charge is 55 km. Living in a cold environment (between -15 to -25), it will be hard to get more mileage out of the battery. Some mornings, when I start the car, it starts in the HV mode and has it gets warmer, the EV mode jumps in.
I look forward increasing the EV mileage with the warm weather on the way.
