Which Lexus car is electric?
The two fully electric Lexus models currently on offer are the RZ 450e and the UX 300e, with the RZ serving as Lexus’s first dedicated EV and the UX 300e available in select markets. In addition, Lexus sells plug-in hybrids for customers seeking electric-assisted driving.
Current fully electric models
Here are the pure-electric Lexus options that have been available in various regions. Availability varies by country and year, so check with a local dealer for the latest details.
- Lexus RZ 450e — the brand’s first dedicated electric SUV, built on the e-TNGA platform, with a battery roughly around 71.4 kWh and all‑wheel drive.
- Lexus UX 300e — a compact electric crossover offered in select markets, equipped with a about 54 kWh battery and slower charging capabilities compared with the RZ.
Beyond these pure-EV models, Lexus also markets plug-in hybrids that offer electric driving for short trips with gasoline back-up for longer range.
Market availability and plug-in hybrids
Because Lexus’s electric rollout varies by region, buyers should verify what’s available locally. The following plug-in hybrids supplement the pure-electric lineup in many markets.
- NX 450h+ — a plug-in hybrid that provides electric operation for shorter trips and gasoline power for longer range.
In practice, customers often encounter the RZ 450e as the main all-electric option, while plug-in hybrids like the NX 450h+ fill in where BEVs are less prevalent or as transitional choices.
Charging and performance basics
RZ 450e charging and range
The RZ 450e is designed as a true battery-electric vehicle. It uses a large pack (about 71.4 kWh) and supports DC fast charging up to around 150 kW, enabling quick top-ups on compatible networks. Real-world range depends on factors such as climate, driving style, and wheel fitment.
UX 300e charging and range
The UX 300e employs a smaller battery (about 54.3 kWh) and typically offers faster charging at lower power levels (roughly up to 50 kW DC fast charging in most markets). Its EPA/WLTP range is more modest, reflecting its compact crossover design and battery size.
Summary
In brief, Lexus’s electric lineup currently centers on two models: the RZ 450e and the UX 300e, with regional availability affecting which vehicles you can buy. The brand also provides plug-in hybrids such as the NX 450h+ for customers seeking electric driving benefits with gasoline backup.
