HOW IT WORKS

All Electric, No Emissions

In place of an internal combustion engine, Battery Electric Vehicles are powered by a large battery pack and high-output electric motors. Because they run on electricity alone, they emit no exhaust from the tailpipe.

Recharge stopping and going

The large battery allows you to travel further, recharging as you drive. While the regenerative braking system recharges when you brake by converting kinetic energy into electricity.

Charging

PLUG IN AND POWER UP

You can charge a Lexus Battery Electric Vehicle at home, at work, or at most public charging stations. How long it takes depends on the size of the battery and the speed or Level of charging point.

120-volt AC Outlet

Level 1 - Standard

For drivers with short commutes. You can charge anywhere there is a common household 3-prong household outlet.

240-Volt AC Outlet

Level 2 – Faster

The best setup for faster charging at home. You’ll find Level 2 chargers at public charging stations nationwide1. Level 2 Home Chargers like ChargePoint can be installed at home by a licensed electrician.

480-volt DC Fast Charging

Level 3 – Fastest

Under ideal conditions, it can be the quickest way to charge up on the go5. Currently only available at select public charging stations5.

Disclaimer

5 Level 3 - DC (Fast) Charging: Charging times will vary based on outside temperature and other factors. As temperatures decrease below 10 degrees Celsius, charging time will increase significantly. Drive battery level and condition, charger specifications and DC Charging more than twice per day also can negatively affect charging time. DC Charging may not work on AWD RZ when the temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius.

Public charging experience can vary based on charger level and other vehicle and environmental conditions. Level 3 charging may not be possible below 0 degrees Celsius.

BENEFITS

Punchier Performance

Combining an electric motor with a DIRECT4 AWD on a battery electric--specific e-TNGA platform allows the vehicle to respond to the driver’s intentions in any condition.

Streamlined Design

Without a combustion engine, there’s no need for cooling or exhaust system, the body of a BEV can be further refined for optimal aerodynamics. This styling evolution ushers in a new Lexus aesthetic and establishes a new design direction.

Zero Fuel or Emissions

With an electric motor and rechargeable battery there is no need to visit the pumps for a fill up. You can truly enjoy each spirited ride knowing your Battery Electric Vehicle is producing zero emissions.

Quiet Smooth Ride

The absence of an engine and transmission make Battery Electric Vehicles naturally quiet. Lexus ensures that other operation and ambient noises are quelled by insulating cabin style and sound design to ensure a smooth journey.

Roadside Assistance

Every Lexus Battery Electric Vehicle comes with standard Roadside Assistance that offers additional peace-of-mind for 48 months with services that stretch from emergency roadside assistance to personalized trip planning.

No Extra Maintenance

The maintenance schedule for a Lexus Battery Electric model is the same as a gas-powered model. With fewer moving parts, and less wear and tear, it can be less expensive to maintain over time.

Unprecedented
Peace of Mind

Lexus Battery Electric Vehicles come with the same warranty as every Lexus vehicle, backed up with additional Limited Warranty Coverage to inspire confidence.

faq

  • How does a battery electric vehicle work?

    A Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is powered entirely by a battery and single or dual electric motors. Like all electric vehicles, BEVs can also recharge their batteries to a limited degree through regenerative braking. To achieve a full charge, BEVs need to be plugged in.

  • Can I set the charging schedule?

    Yes. You can set a charging schedule to suit your preferences – selecting to have charging completed by a certain departure time or be carried out at the same time on specific days. With a charging event scheduled, you can also set the interior to be preconditioned – heated or cooled – to help ensure that the cabin temperature is comfortable when it is time to leave.

  • How do I know how long it takes to charge a BEV?

    Charge time depends on many things, firstly, the amount in your vehicle when you plug it in.

    Another key factor that affects charging is weather. As the temperature approaches freezing and below, we strongly recommend AC charging. DC Fast Charging times will increase as the temperature drops. For example, at -10 degrees Celsius, DC Fast Charging times can increase by approximately five times. As temperatures drop even further, DC Fast Charging may be considerably longer or not possible. In order to ensure effective charging and preserve battery health over the life of the vehicle DC Fast Charging should be limited to two sessions per day year-round.

  • Are battery electric vehicles safe?

    Lexus battery electric vehicles are designed and tested for Canada just like any Lexus vehicle, and adhere to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. BEVs cause no greater concern for passengers or rescuers in the event of a collision than non-hybrid vehicles. The batteries are sealed in a protective metal case and insulated from the vehicle body.

  • Do Lexus electrified vehicles require additional maintenance?

    Not only do Lexus battery electric vehicles follow the same maintenance schedule of every 6 months or 8,000 KM (whichever comes first), but the way the electric system works may reduce how often other areas of the car need servicing. Depending upon how the vehicle is driven, in an electric, the engines are off some of the time, the brakes are regenerative, saving pad & rotor life, there is no transmission fluid under load, and there are no starters, alternators or belts to be replaced.
