Hello, just joined a few weeks ago as I am considering the purchase of a Clarity. I would like to get a 2021 new one, but will probably end up with a used Clarity. I did a test drive in a used one about a month or two ago and really liked the concept of a PHEV and liked how the Clarity drove. I also test drove a Bolt, a Volt, and an Ioniq. The Volt was an instant "NO", the Ioniq has a rear vision problem which scares me a bit, and the Bolt was really fun to drive. The Bolt scares me also with the battery fire/recall thing.
Finding a used Clarity is a bit of a challenge for me living in Florida (a non-ZEV state) as there aren't many around. I am considering using a company called Car-Pal to find me one at a reasonable price.
A bit of trivia that some may find interesting. My first (and only so far) exposure to EV's goes back maybe 30 or 35 years ago. There was an enthusiast group that met monthly. I attended a few meetings because I considered making my own EV. Back then they took a VW bug and removed the engine, transmission, and back seat. An electrical jet engine starter motor was installed and a bunch of 12 volt batteries went where the back seat was the end product was a VW bug EV. I never started the project as it required the enthusiast to have auto mechanic skills and tools, although I have been interested in EV's ever since.
