For two decades, Lexus has led the way in crafting luxury electric vehicles. Today that heritage of heightened power and performance is married to the most advanced battery technology, in a range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) that are unmatched. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about your Lexus EV, and how to get the most from it.
Charging is the process of returning energy to the battery of an electric vehicle. There are a couple different ways to return energy to a battery, such as through the process of regenerative braking and plug-in charging.
Your electric vehicle has a maximum charging speed, regardless of how powerful the station is. Some stations may advertise a high power output (e.g., 150 kW), but that full speed may only be achievable on specific vehicles. Your BEV will only accept the power it can handle.
At Home
Level 1 charging is the simplest option, and it charges slowly. On the plus side, it uses power from standard wall outlets in homes. All Lexus BEVs from 2026 and beyond include a dual-voltage charging cable to facilitate Level 1 charging. 1
At Home and Public
Level 2 is like Level 1, but with twice the voltage and increased amperage. This means vehicles charge much faster. At home, this requires installing a Level 2 charger into higher voltage electrical outlets1 – like those that power large appliances like clothes dryers or ovens. In public, Level 2 is widely available at public stations. The dual-voltage cable can also be used for Level 2 charging.
Public
DCFC (Direct Current Fast Charging) provides even higher voltage in the form of DC power. Level 3 requires the use of specialized equipment and manufacturer-specific plugs, which are not available in residential homes. Charging time will vary widely depending on weather conditions and other factors.2
Installing a dedicated Level 2 charger at your residence can make a lot of sense, especially for electric vehicle owners. These chargers use a 240-volt outlet, the same amount of power used by home appliances like a stove, or HVAC equipment. There are a number of factors to consider before installing a Level 2 charger, including the best location, the type of connector, the length of cord, permanent or portable installation, and amperage. We recommend speaking to a certified installer about requirements, including the right plug head, and installation costs.
Lexus’ incorporation of the North American Charging System (NACS) port on certain vehicles offers convenient charging access to over 5000 public charging stations across Canada. And finding a public charger is easy! Simply use the Lexus App (Remote Connect or paid subscription required)35 and in-car navigation to help you find the nearest charger. And should you ever run out of charge, Lexus Roadside Assistance can tow you to the nearest charging station so you can get back on the road.
2026 model year BEVs adopt Plug & Charge capability, an industry standard protocol that allows automatic identification, authentication and authorization at select public charging networks, reducing the need for multiple mobile charging applications.
There are many ways that the Lexus App can help you maximize the use and enjoyment of your battery electric vehicle (Remote Connect or paid subscription required)35. These include:
Servicing and maintaining your electric vehicle is no more difficult than with a typical gas-powered vehicle. In fact, the maintenance schedules of both Lexus gas and electric vehicles are the same - every 6 months or 8,000 km.
In the event that you ever run out of charge, Roadside Assistance3 can provide towing to your home, or the nearest public EV charging station to help get you back on the road. With your new car warranty, Roadside Assistance is included for three years for unlimited kilometers. It can even be extended once expired.

Your Lexus Service representative is your go-to expert for selecting the right tires for your EV - ensuring optimal handling, efficiency, and comfort.
Keeping tires well maintained will help extend their life, so make sure to:
Avoid charging from 0% to 100% regularly and to keep the battery in a moderate charge range (10%-80%) for optimal longevity. After three 10-80% charge sessions, DC Fast Charging over the next 24 hour period may take longer and be less effective. Starting with the 2026 model BEVS, this limit increases to five charging sessions per day
Enabling software updates for your vehicle will ensure that it operates safely and efficiently. Over-The-Air Software Updates allow your vehicle to update its software wirelessly, with quality, capability and convenience updates that are made available for select vehicle systems, such as the multimedia system.
Cruise control helps maintain a steady speed, which uses less energy than constant speed changes.
Take advantage of your EV’s ability to slow down and recover energy when you ease off the accelerator.
Heating and cooling can draw significant energy. Use energy-saving settings, when possible.
Well-maintained tire pressure reduces rolling resistance and helps maximize range.
Pre-conditioning warms the battery to its optimal temperature—especially important in cold weather—you can boost charging speed (especially at DC fast chargers) and help preserve long-term battery health
