I’m shocked there isn’t much discussion here. I own a Honda Clarity Plug in Hybrid and there is a lot of activity here I am using this vehicle for Lyft. Cleveland OH area. any tips for this car ? Im confused why electric range goes down while in Hybrid mode. I thought that would be gas only? any way to save your electric miles?
Well if the 530e works like my i8. In town in comfort not sport my i8 uses the electric to get up to speed then switches to gas. I can set on the dash in the i drive settings a mimimum state i want the battery to reserve. So if i want to keep say 50% i can set the level it keeps the battery charged at. Also in sport mode it charges the battery to 70% for use in accel and sporty driving.
I'm not sure of the 2021 variant. My neighbor owns a 2018 Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. He often says that during high revs there is a heavy loss of power also there were times when the automatic braking malfunctioned.
