    All-Electric Step into the future of driving with a fully electric Lexus, where power, efficiency, and luxury come together for an unparalleled experience. With lower fuel costs compared to conventional cars and zero tailpipe emissions, every journey is smooth, quiet, and environmentally friendly.

    An all-electric vehicle (EV) runs solely on electricity, using a rechargeable battery to power an electric motor instead of a fuel tank. Recharging is easy—simply plug into a charger at home or at one of the many public charging stations across the country.

    Charging at home offers unmatched convenience, and we can assist with the installation of a dedicated EV charger for faster charging. While plugging into a standard three-pin plug is possible, a dedicated charger is much quicker. For longer trips, planning recharge stops is seamless with the growing network of public charging stations, making it easy to adapt to a new, smarter way of traveling.
    Self-Charging Hybrid For over 15 years, Lexus has led the way in luxury car electrification, with more than a million Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids on the roads worldwide. Our extensive range of models is renowned for its elegance, exceptional quality, and award-winning reliability, offering a driving experience that goes far beyond just batteries and motors.

    Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids combine a petrol engine with an electric motor, operating seamlessly like a conventional automatic—no need to plug in. Advanced technology automatically selects the ideal power source (petrol or electric) for a smooth and efficient drive.

    Every Lexus hybrid comes with a 3-year, 60,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty and an additional 5-year, 60,000-mile warranty on hybrid components and the battery. Service your Lexus annually or every 10,000 miles, and enjoy a complimentary hybrid health check with each service.
    Plug-in Hybrid A Lexus Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) combines the power of a petrol engine with a rechargeable electric battery. When fully charged, it can operate in pure electric (EV) mode, providing a quiet, zero-emissions drive. Once the battery is low, the vehicle seamlessly switches to a combination of petrol and electric power using our renowned Self-Charging Hybrid technology.

    A Plug-in Hybrid offers a convenient bridge to fully electric driving, without the concern of “range anxiety.” When the battery depletes, the petrol engine takes over, making it ideal for both short trips and longer journeys.

    Charging a Plug-in Hybrid is easy and can be done at home with a dedicated charger for faster charging or at numerous public charging stations. Alternatively, a standard household plug can be used, though it charges more slowly. By recharging regularly, you can enjoy electric-only driving for short distances, with the petrol engine ready to take over whenever needed.
