How many miles does a Honda Clarity go on a full charge?
The short answer depends on which Clarity model you have. The battery-electric Clarity goes about 89 miles on a full charge, the plug-in hybrid about 47 miles in electric mode, and the hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Clarity delivers roughly 360 miles per full hydrogen fill. Real-world range varies with temperature, driving style, and terrain, and the Clarity lineup has been largely retired from new-car sales in the U.S.
Honda Clarity Electric (BEV)
Understanding the all-electric variant requires noting its EPA-estimated range and the context in which it was sold. The Clarity Electric offered a modest range relative to newer BEVs, but it served as Honda’s entry into battery-electric driving during its brief U.S. availability window.
Key figures for the BEV include the following:
- EPA-estimated range on a full charge: about 89 miles
In real-world use, the BEV range can vary with temperature, battery health, and driving conditions. The model years produced and sold in limited markets are now rare on the used-car market.
Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)
The Plug-in Hybrid version combines a battery-electric drive with a gasoline engine, extending total range after the battery is depleted. Its electric-range capability is what buyers typically consider when asking about a “full charge.”
Key figures for the PHEV include the following:
- Electric-only range on a full battery charge: about 47 miles
With a full tank of gasoline and a full battery, total range clocks in around the low-to-mid 300s miles (roughly 340 miles in typical EPA estimates). Real-world results vary with factors such as speed, climate control use, and driving terrain.
Honda Clarity Fuel Cell (Hydrogen)
The Fuel Cell variant operates on hydrogen rather than a stored battery charge. Its range is a function of how much hydrogen is in the tank, and it is typically advertised as miles per full hydrogen fill rather than per charge.
Key figures for the FCV include the following:
- Range per full hydrogen fill: about 360 miles
Availability for the Fuel Cell Clarity has been limited to select markets with hydrogen fueling infrastructure, and production for this variant has remained very restricted in recent years.
Current availability and market status
Honda gradually phased out new Clarity models in the U.S., and as of the current market landscape, the lineup is no longer sold new in most regions. Used examples may still be found in some areas, particularly with limited hydrogen-fueling networks remaining in place in certain markets.
Summary
In summary, the Honda Clarity family offers three distinct range profiles: BEV around 89 miles per full charge, PHEV about 47 miles on electric power (with a total range around 340 miles when including gasoline), and FCV roughly 360 miles per full hydrogen fill. Availability has diminished in recent years, but the range figures provide a clear view of what each variant could deliver under typical conditions.
