The Clarity Plug-In Hybrid has an onboard rechargeable battery that stores energy to power the electric motor. The battery can be charged by plugging your Clarity Plug-In Hybrid into an outlet at home, work or any public charging station. There are two ways to charge, and both are accessible through the port located on the front left fender.



• Level 1 charging can be done by plugging the vehicle into a 120-volt household outlet, and is convenient with the Level 1 120-volt adaptor that comes standard with the vehicle. It’s recommended that a dedicated 120-volt GFCI outlet (not shared) with a 15 amp circuit be used and that a licensed-electrician confirm the suitability of any outlet used.



• Level 2 charging is a fast and convenient way to charge, requiring a 240-volt charger, and available at public charging stations nationwide. You can also install a Level 2 charging station at your home. There are many choices for home charging, with equipment available from reputable manufacturers such as Leviton, Bosch, Clipper Creek, and many others. We recommend that a licensed electrician that has experience with these types of installations install it. A third-party article with good information can be found here.
