Lexus Electric Vehicle Guide
The future of Lexus Electrified has arrived with the introduction of the all-new, all-electric Lexus RZ 450e.
The RZ is the latest electrified vehicle in the Lexus lineup, which includes seven hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
How Does it Work?
The 71.4 kWh battery delivers with a total system horsepower rating of 308 and a manufacturer-estimated 0-60 acceleration time of 5.0 seconds. It has an EPA-estimated range rating of up to 220 miles.*
That all sounds exhilarating, but if you’re a first-time electric vehicle driver, you might be asking – how do I charge my RZ?
Lexus is working with ChargePoint, Inc. and Qmerit to offer home chargers, installation services and a vast network of public charging EV stations to make sure you have a seamless charging experience both at home and on the road.
At Home:
- Purchase a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger from Scanlon Lexus
- Financing options are offered through Lexus Financial Services and Lexus Financial Savings Bank.
- Purchase through ChargePoint’s website.
- Install indoors or outdoors
- Comes with a 23-foot charging cable
- Charges your Lexus up to 9 times faster than with a standard outlet

To learn about installation options for the ChargePoint Home Flex, Lexus has selected Qmerit to help guide RZ 450e guests through the process.
