Why did Honda discontinue the Clarity PHEV?

Honda stopped making the Clarity Plug-in Hybrid due to low sales demand, which was influenced by factors like the car's high price point, poor market reception, and Honda's shift in strategy towards a new generation of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). Production officially ended in August 2021 as part of Honda's larger plan to transition its portfolio to focus on future BEVs and hybrid models, such as the Insight and CR-V Hybrid.
 

• Low demand: Sales for all Clarity models had been declining, with only a small number of units sold in the years leading up to the discontinuation. 
• Strategic shift: Honda decided to end production to focus resources on its upcoming, next-generation line of electrified vehicles, including those developed in partnership with General Motors. 
• Focus on BEVs: The discontinuation was part of a long-term goal to have 100% of its sales be either battery-electric or fuel-cell electric vehicles by 2040. 
• Market reception: The Clarity's high price point and polarizing exterior design contributed to its poor market acceptance compared to other electrified options.

Can I charge my Honda Clarity at a Tesla charging station?

Yes, the Honda Clarity can use Tesla chargers, but it requires an adapter, and the method depends on the specific model. The Honda Clarity EV can use a Tesla Supercharger via an official Honda-approved NACS-CCS adapter, available starting in June 2025. For Tesla Destination Chargers and slower AC charging at a Tesla-style charger, you would need a third-party adapter, like a NEMA 14-50 adapter, to connect the Tesla's charger to the Clarity's J1772 port.

• For models starting in 2025: Honda vehicles will adopt the NACS standard and gain access to Tesla Superchargers using the new Honda-approved NACS-CCS adapter, reports North Shore Honda and Honda Newsroom. 
• For models before 2025: You will need the Honda-approved NACS-CCS DC fast-charging adapter, which can be purchased at Honda dealerships or the Honda DreamShop website for approximately $225. 
• For Tesla Superchargers with a Magic Dock: Some Tesla Superchargers are starting to have a built-in "Magic Dock" which includes both a Tesla connector and a CCS connector, allowing a non-Tesla vehicle to charge directly from the station. 

For AC charging (e.g., a Tesla Destination Charger) 

• For Tesla Destination Chargers (Tesla's AC charging stations): You will need a third-party adapter, such as a third-party NEMA 14-50 adapter, to convert the Tesla's plug to a J1772 plug. 
• For other adapters: There are also third-party adapters available for Tesla AC chargers that can be used with a J1772 port.
