All-Electric

With an All-Electric Lexus, you have options to maximise your range. You can precondition the cabin, which optimises the battery and cabin temperatures while plugged in. Maintaining a mild ambient temperature is also effective, as excessive heating or cooling can reduce range by using a higher amount of battery energy. Travelling at low to medium speeds helps to maximise range through lower energy demands and regenerative braking, whereas travelling longer distances increases energy demands.

The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) are standardised test procedures that are used to test the energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

NEDC was introduced in the 1970s and was last updated in 1997. NEDC includes the Urban Driving Cycle test (designed to represent typical driving conditions in a city environment), the Extra-Urban Driving Cycle test (designed to represent typical driving conditions in a high-speed driving environment) and produces a Combined driving cycle result. The test cycles use fixed speeds, fixed gear shift points and fixed acceleration. Ancillary loads, such as the climate control, fan, and lights, are turned off. The test duration is 20 minutes and covers 11km.

WLTP was introduced in Europe in 2017. WLTP includes the Worldwide harmonized Light-duty vehicles Test Cycles (WLTC). The European WLTC includes testing at low, medium, high, and extra high speeds representing stop-start traffic, city driving, suburban driving and higher speed driving respectively. The average test speed and the maximum test speed are higher compared to the NEDC. The test duration is 30 minutes and covers 23.25km.

WLTP is considered to be a better representation of real-world driving than NEDC.

The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) are both standardised laboratory test procedures that are used to measure energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and produce results that can be compared between different vehicle manufacturers and vehicle models.

The conditions of the driving cycle tests conducted within NEDC and WLTP are different.

• NEDC has lower average and maximum speeds than WLTP.
• WLTP includes a wider range of driving conditions than NEDC.
• NEDC indicates fixed gear shift points, whereas WLTP does not.
• WLTP simulates a longer driving distance than NEDC.
• NEDC comprises of lower acceleration and deceleration rates than WLTP.
• WLTP tests consider additional optional equipment that could impact energy consumption and range of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).

With an All-Electric Lexus, you can recharge at home through a household outlet or charger, or at a public charging station.

Experience the luxury of safe, daily charging with an All-Electric Lexus. Every vehicle has been designed without ‘memory effect’ so it’s beneficial to plug in each night regardless of the current charge level. In fact, we encourage overnight charging to ensure you start every day with maximum range so you’re ready for any journey with complete confidence.

Generally, the cost of charging a BEV tends to be cheaper than filling a car with petrol or diesel. Similar to petrol, prices for charging electric vehicles can vary between different charging stations.

Prices will vary depending on your electricity provider. It is best to contact your provider directly.
