Honda CLARITY Plug-In Hybrid 2020 Owner's Manual page 14

There are three drive modes: ECON, NORMAL, and SPORT
Regardless of the drive mode that is activated, when the accelerator pedal is depressed past a certain point, the engine starts. When this
occurs, electrical power generated by the engine combines with electrical power from the battery to provide greater driving force. If you
select ECON mode, the threshold for the engine to provide additional power is higher than it is when the vehicle operates under either of
the two sources. Note that if the accelerator pedal is depressed past the point at which you feel a click, the engine will start in the ECON
mode.
To maintain fuel efficiency, keep steady pressure on the accelerator pedal and avoid aggressive acceleration and deceleration.
