Everything You Need to Know About Lexus Electric Vehicles

As the world moves closer to an all-electric future, the popularity of Lexus electric vehicles continues to grow. Whether you're looking for an expansive SUV or a stylish small sedan, there's an electrified option that's perfect for your needs. The Keyes Lexus team helps you get acquainted with Lexus EVs, including how to charge them.

Electric Lexus Options

Lexus offers several electrified vehicles to choose from. For example, there's the fully electric Lexus RZ with a futuristic exterior design and available all-wheel drive for enhanced capabilities. If you're not quite ready to move away from your gas-powered engine, there's a plethora of plug-in hybrid vehicles like the Lexus NX 450h+ and the Lexus TX 550h+. These cars let you experience the thrill and efficiency of electric travel while still having your gas engine as the main driving force.

When you select an electrified Lexus vehicle, you can expect the same expert craftsmanship that's found across the manufacturer's lineup. The integrated electric motors allow for confident acceleration and immediate torque delivery. The DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system results in improved driving posture and a more linear response.

Charging Your Vehicle

There are three main ways to charge your electrified vehicle. Level 1 charging is the most simple process, allowing you to regain battery life with a standard household outlet. Level 2 charging requires a specialized home station to be installed, but it charges your vehicle much more quickly. Finally, there's DC fast charging which is only available through public stations. The Lexus RZ supports a network of 20,000 DC fast chargers across the country.

What Affects Electric Range?

While the multi-information display in your car displays an estimated range, this may not always be accurate. The range of your vehicle will depend on several factors, including where and how you drive. Your expected range may vary based on:

• Vehicle speed
• Outside temperature
• AC usage
• How often you charge your vehicle
