Discover an electrified driving experience like no other. One tailored to your needs. Distinguished by the driver-inspired craftsmanship, thrilling performance and intuitive technology that continue to set Lexus apart. All supported by an expansive dealer network that's world-renowned for its unrivaled care and unparalleled expertise. Because while anybody can make an electric vehicle, only Lexus can make an electrified Lexus.
Plug-in Hybrid
A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) pairs a battery-electric powertrain with a gas engine, offering electric-only driving for short trips and gas/electric hybrid efficiency for longer journeys. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles can be charged at home or at public Level 2 charging stations and fueled at any gas pump as needed.
Easy
LEVEL 1: Home
Use your home's standard 120-volt power outlet to charge up at home. No additional installation required. Averaging up to four miles of replenished range per hour of charge,* Level 1 home charging is ideal if you have a short commute.
Faster
LEVEL 2: Home + Public
Offering faster speeds, Level 2 chargers can be found at thousands of public charging stations nationwide. And for added convenience, Level 2 charging capability can be professionally installed at your home by a licensed electrician.
Fastest
LEVEL 3: Public
The fastest way to charge on the go. Available only at public charging stations, Level 3 Direct Current (DC) fast chargers can replenish your EV's range by up to 3 miles per minute under ideal conditions.*

Lexus offers three types of electrified vehicles: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric (referred to as Battery Electric, Battery EVs, BEVs, or simply EVs).
All-electric vehicles can offer drivers convenience, potential savings, and eliminate CO2 tailpipe emissions. They’re also fun to drive, courtesy of the immediate torque response from the electric motors, available DIRECT4 all-wheel drive technology, as well as the smooth acceleration and quiet cabin.
All-electric vehicles can also be conveniently charged at home, overnight and on-demand, as well as at public charging stations when out and about. No more trips to the gas station required. In addition to potential fuel savings, drivers may also be able to enjoy a state tax credit,* as well as the routine maintenance savings typical of an all-electric powertrain compared to those of an internal combustion engine vehicle.
Of course, an all-electric Lexus is designed to provide owners even more. In addition to the driver-inspired craftsmanship, attention to detail and intuitive technology that have always set Lexus apart, every electrified Lexus is supported by an expansive dealer network that’s world-renowned for its unrivaled care and unparalleled expertise.
Thanks to the use of electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, all-electric vehicles provide smooth acceleration, immediate torque response and a surprisingly quiet ride experience.
The driving range rating of an all-electric vehicle will vary depending on how/where you drive, charging habits, accessory use, outside temperature and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use, which will reduce range.
Gradual acceleration, flat terrain, and even pre-conditioning* the temperature of your Lexus while it’s plugged in can potentially have a positive effect on driving range. However, please note that all-electric driving range may decrease significantly depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, how/where you drive, charging habits and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use, which will reduce range.
2026 ES DC charging* times will increase as the battery temperature decreases, with significant increases possible at temperatures below freezing. For example, at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, DC fast charging times can increase by approximately 1.5 to 2 times. Charging times will vary based on various factors including accessory use, battery level and condition, and charger specifications.
For the Lexus RZ and electric ES models, in order to help ensure effective charging and preserve battery health over the life of the vehicle, no more than three DC fast charging* sessions a day are recommended. After three DC charging sessions, a threshold can be reached which may result in reduced DC charging speed.
Over time, the battery will gradually recover. One additional high-speed DC charge can be completed after approximately 6 hours, with complete recovery occurring over the next day. During the recovery time, vehicle driving performance and Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging capabilities remain unchanged.
In general, please keep in mind that over time, use of DC fast charging will degrade the battery more than Level 1 or Level 2 charging.
