5 reasons to buy the 2019 Honda Clarity Electric

1. Fast-charging EV  

The 2019 Honda Clarity Electric has Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities. It's also equipped to accept DC fast charging which means it can reach an 80% electric charge capacity after 30 minutes at a charging station. The 2019 Honda Clarity Electric has an EPA-estimated total range of 89 miles on a full charge.

You can easily power up your ride while you shop for groceries at an EV-friendly store or when you park at a hotel, event center parking lot, or mall with chargers. Download the HondaLink® app to easily find nearby charging stations, check the battery's charging status, and learn your current electric driving range. 

2. Ample trunk storage 

With seating for five in the 2019 Honda Clarity Electric, it's important to know there's 14.3 cu-ft of space in the back for all your things -- from weekend luggage to daily school backpacks -- even with the car's battery in the rear. If you don't have backseat passengers, the 60/40 split folding rear seats open up even more space for bringing home supplies from the home improvement store or stocking up on plants from your favorite garden nursery. 

3. Helpful driver-assist features 

Whether you're a seasoned driver or handing your keys to your teenager for the first time, rest assured the 2019 Honda Clarity Electric will make the driving experience as easy as possible. You'll also appreciate the cameras watching for the car to go over the road lines. If you drift, you'll be alerted to correct your driving. 

4. Provides a quiet ride 

Thanks to the battery, and no gas combustion, the 2019 Honda Clarity Electric sails down the road without making much sound. And, from inside the cabin, you barely hear any wind noise. The most you'll notice is some road noise when traversing a gravel road or bumpy construction zone. Simply crank the stereo and you won't hear a thing except your favorite tunes. 

5.  Stocked with tech 

There's only one trim level for the 2019 Honda Clarity Electric, so there's no need to scout around for variations. In this EV you'll discover an eight-inch touchscreen, an eight-speaker audio system, Apple CarPlay® connectivity, Android Auto integration, and a real-time navigation system, with a live search function.

There's also keyless entry so you don't have to fumble for keys when carrying a baby car seat or several bags from your takeout dinner order for the family.
