Honda electric vehicles

The battery-electric Honda covered on this page is the Honda Clarity Electric, a front-wheel-drive electric sedan sold for the 2017 through 2019 model years. Honda ended Clarity Electric production after the 2019 model year.

That matters when you sell because this is a specific, limited-market EV, not a generic Honda sedan. Honda offered the Clarity Electric primarily through leases in California and Oregon, so many examples began ownership in markets with established EV charging and demand. Honda's 2017 press material identifies it as a 161-horsepower electric vehicle with a 25.5 kWh battery and an 89-mile EPA range.

If you are selling one, start with the details that distinguish your particular car: model year, mileage, current battery behavior, charging performance, overall condition, and any equipment or updates shown in the vehicle. An 89-mile EPA rating gives a buyer useful context, but the condition of your own battery and drive unit still matters. Mileage is part of the picture, not a gas-car formula applied to an EV.

We buy your Honda EV directly from you, wherever you are in the United States. Most sellers receive an offer in under 15 minutes, based on EV transaction data from vehicles we have actually bought and sold. There is no obligation to accept it.

The offer is designed to give you a clear next step before you decide whether selling now fits your plans. If you accept, you complete a guided smartphone self-inspection on your own time, and one EV buying expert supports you from the offer through free pickup at your home.

What distinguishes the 2017 to 2019 Clarity Electric

The 2017, 2018, and 2019 Honda Clarity Electric are straightforward to identify because each year uses one electric configuration, called Clarity Electric. There are no electric sub-trims to sort through. The core hardware remains consistent across these model years: a front-wheel-drive electric motor and a 25.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

For a buyer, the practical distinction is not a trim badge. It is how this particular vehicle performs and presents today. These are the details worth having ready when you request an offer:

The battery is especially important because the published range is modest by modern EV standards, and real-world range changes with battery state of health, driving conditions, and charging history. If you have noticed a change in displayed range, charging behavior, or an EV-system warning, include it in your vehicle details. Clear disclosure lets us assess the car accurately from the start.

Warranty information is useful background for you and a future buyer, although it is not an input to our offer. Honda's Clarity Electric warranty materials list coverage for the high-voltage battery, battery control module, power management control module, power inverter, and electric motor for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. That coverage transfers with the vehicle for any remaining time and mileage.

The original basic coverage was three years or 36,000 miles, while the original powertrain term was five years or 60,000 miles. For a 2017 to 2019 Clarity Electric, those shorter original terms have generally elapsed by time. The high-voltage coverage is the term to check, using your in-service date and current mileage. Honda's booklet also states that normal battery degradation is covered within the eight-year or 100,000-mile term, subject to Honda's evaluation.

There is little evidence of separately transferable paid, software-enabled upgrades on this EV. However, software updates can still matter to the vehicle's operation. Service information referenced for the Clarity Electric includes updates and diagnostics related to battery management, charging control, infotainment, and EV-system messages. During the inspection, we will ask about any active warnings, charging interruptions, or recent service so the offer reflects the vehicle you have.

Why people sell the Honda

Owners sell for reasons specific to this vehicle and to where they are in ownership:

01

Your lease is ending, and you want a direct sale instead of arranging the next step yourself.

02

You are replacing a short-range commuter EV with a vehicle that better fits your current driving routine.

03

Your Honda EV is a second car that is no longer getting enough use.

04

You are moving, and transporting or re-registering the vehicle does not fit your plans.

05

You want to sell before putting more time into explaining the Clarity Electric's range and charging setup to private buyers.

06

You have noticed charging, display, or range behavior that you would rather disclose clearly to an EV buyer.

If any of that describes your situation, the next section is the answer.

A direct way to sell your Honda EV

Handing over the keys after selling to Plug

Selling a Clarity Electric privately can work if you want to manage the process yourself. It also means arranging messages, test drives, charging logistics, and questions about an EV with an 89-mile EPA range. A prospective buyer can check a vehicle's history and service records, but you still have to spend time walking them through battery condition, charging behavior, and any EV-system messages.

A dealer trade is another route, but an older, limited-market EV can be treated as a wholesale unit that needs to move quickly. Some dealers rely on pricing methods built around conventional vehicles rather than the battery, drive unit, and EV-specific configuration details that matter here.

We buy your Honda EV directly. Our offer uses real EV transaction data, then accounts for the details that affect this individual vehicle:

  • Battery condition and reported range behavior.
  • Drive unit condition and any dashboard warnings.
  • Mileage, alongside the EV-specific condition details.
  • Vehicle configuration and software-enabled equipment shown during inspection.

You receive our best number first. We do not build in padding for a negotiation, and there is no back-and-forth. Your offer holds for seven days and changes only if the guided self-inspection finds something material that does not match what you reported.

The amount you accept is the amount you take home. We charge no paperwork, transport, closing, or processing fees, and nothing is deducted at pickup. The self-inspection takes about 15 minutes by smartphone, on your time, and pickup from your driveway is free nationwide.

If your Honda EV has a loan, we pay the lender directly. If it is leased, we coordinate the payoff with the leasing company, which typically takes two to three weeks. Once we receive the title, payment is sent by wire or ACH, with funds reaching you at or before pickup.

How the price on your Honda gets to be accurate

Get my offer
Confirm the configuration

Tell us the model year, confirm that it is the Clarity Electric, and share its front-wheel-drive configuration and mileage. The 2017 through 2019 electric model uses one main equipment level, so accurate vehicle details matter more than sorting among electric trims.

Assess the condition

We assess overall condition alongside battery state of health and drive unit condition. Tell us about current range behavior, charging interruptions, warning messages, cosmetic condition, and any recent EV-related service.

Check software-enabled features

We confirm the vehicle equipment and relevant system updates shown during the self-inspection. For this EV, report any infotainment, instrument-display, battery-management, or charging-control concerns.

Compare to real sales

We compare your exact Honda EV configuration, mileage, condition, and location with real transactions involving EVs we have bought and sold. We do not use a national average or a gas-car mileage formula.

Make the offer

Most sellers receive an offer in under 15 minutes. It is our best number, with no negotiation, holds for seven days, and changes only if the self-inspection finds a material difference from what you reported. There are no fees or deductions.
