TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, the only version distributed nationally, is spacious, comfortable, competitively priced, and offers excellent electric range.

The 2018 Toyota Mirai, according to its maker, is the future of cars; we strongly suggest waiting to see whether the future is powered by hydrogen or electricity.
