I own a 2018 Honda Clarity and I absolutely love it! Living in upstate NY, I get 55 miles in the summer on the battery then in winter I get around 35 miles on the battery. I live the styling of the it exterior and interior and if you know the function of the exterior styling it helps you like it more. The car is so well made and the quality interior is miles better than the Prime or Ioniq. I would highly recommend looking at the Clarity. It is a mid-sized sedan, but I think the one size bigger than compact isn't too different and isn't a deal breaker. Crazy good looking, fuel efficiency, and spacious vehicle.

I own the Prius Prime. I think these are necessary vehicles to help most of us transition into the electric world. Also, there are not enough plugs to charge at in my area to commit to a full electric vehicle. I asked my job (which is a major corporation across the USA) if they could install a charger and they said no. We are even being penalized for driving plug ins. Extra at registration and possibly later if they vote for it. Apparently we are not contributing enough because we don't use gas and gas tax goes towards road repairs

Nobody seems to be talking in detail about Hyundai's hybrid implementation. You can find several sources explaining Toyota's planetary gear drive train which can operate both as parallel or serial hybrid, or Honda's pure serial hybrid, but absolutely none on Hyundai's solution. Yours is the closest to explaining it but still no specific details on how this purely parallel hybrid is assembled. Could you elaborate?

Really appreciate Alex s altruistic perspective on vehicle fuel consumption when talking about PHEVs. Thank you for reading between the lines - helped to shift my perspective on them. They re not for everyone, but they definitely could serve a lot of consumers with certain use cases well. I d take an Ioniq plug-in over a Prius Prime on looks alone. Probably my favorite affordable plug-in.

I m kinda looking forward to more performance oriented plug-ins to come about on the market (at least more reasonably priced ones. After seeing the RAV4 plug in, I started to lust after a similarly powered Corolla plug in with 300hp on tap and a small pure EV range.

The Ioniq PHEV is very good if you're travel distance is within 30 to 40 miles a day. You'll never have to use the gas engine other than very long drives. This is not currently offered in the Philippines. Only hybrid and electric versions.

Thank you Alex, for another insightful review. My question is, what are the current manufacturers hybrid battery warranties for first owners?
