HOW IT WORKS

Best of Both

Lexus Plug-in Hybrid Electric combines a gas engine with a powerful electric motor to seamlessly alternate deliver acceleration and power according to your needs.

Recharge on the Stop and Go

The large battery allows you to travel further, recharging as you drive. While the regenerative braking system recharges when you brake by converting kinetic energy into electricity.

EV Mode

EV, or electric-only mode, maximizes battery use, allowing you up to a 61 km range using only electric power. With its advanced 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, you also enjoy instant acceleration, near-silent driving, and the ability to reach speeds of up to 135 km/h.

Auto EV/Hybrid Mode

In Auto EV/Hybrid mode, simply press the accelerator, and the powerful gas engine springs to life, delivering rapid acceleration, capable of carrying you to 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds.

CHARGING

Convenient Charging

You can charge a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PHEV) at home or work – no special equipment is required. Or you can use most public charging stations. How long it takes depends on the size of the battery and the speed or Level of charging point.

FAQ

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEXUS HYBRID AND PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

They are very similar. They can both be driven in electric vehicle mode, but the biggest difference is the distances that you can drive using just electric power alone. With the self-charging hybrid, you can only drive a few kilometers at a time on pure electricity before the gasoline engine kicks back in to provide additional power. Whereas the larger battery of the plug-in hybrid allows for a greater range of EV driving, even at highway speeds.

HOW FAR CAN I TRAVEL ON ELECTRIC POWER ALONE?

Lexus NX 450h+ has an estimated Electric Only (EV) mode range of 59 km. Once EV range has been depleted, the vehicle automatically switches from EV mode to Hybrid Electric Vehicle mode (HEV), and operates like a regular hybrid electric.

HOW FAST CAN I TRAVEL ON ELECTRIC POWER ALONE?

The NX 450h+ can travel up to 134 km/h in Electric Only (EV) mode. When combined with the power of the gas engine, the NX 450h+ can travel from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds.

CAN I DRIVE A PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC WITHOUT GAS IN THE TANK?

You should never drive an NX 450h+ without gasoline in the tank. Under certain conditions, you can drive on electric power alone. However, the vehicle always requires gasoline to operate properly.

DOES COLD WEATHER AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE HIGH-CAPACITY BATTERY?

No. NX 450h+ has four battery heaters located beneath the high-capacity Lithium-ion battery. These help to warm the battery up before charging, and improve cold weather performance.

DO I NEED TO PLUG IN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY?

No. Like Lexus’ self-charging hybrid electrics, NX 450h+ recharges on the go. However, without plugging in to charge the vehicle, you can only restore up to 80 percent of your Electric Only (EV) driving range.

WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED TO CHARGE THE HYBRID ELECTRIC BATTERY?

No special equipment is required. The NX 450h+ is equipped with a 6.6 kWh onboard charger. capable of Level 1 (120 volt) or Level 2 (240 volt) charging. Which means you can plug the vehicle into a typical household outlet (120 volt). However, it will charge significantly faster using a Level 2 source, such as a stove or dryer outlet. You can also choose to install a Level 2 charging station to take advantage of the faster charging times.

Level 2 Home Chargers like ChargePoint can be installed at home by a licensed electrician.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FULLY CHARGE THE HYBRID ELECTRIC BATTERY?

NX 450h+ is capable of both Level 1 (120 volt) and Level 2 (240 volt) charging. Using a Level 1 source with a 12 amp charging rate, it will take approximately 12 hours to fully charge the battery.
Using a Level 2 source set to the maximum rate of 32 amps, the battery can fully recharge in 2.5 hours. At 16 amps, it will take 4.5 hours.

DO I NEED TO FULLY CHARGE THE PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC BATTERY?

No. NX 450h+ will run on a partially charged battery that also recharges as you drive. However, by fully charging the battery, you get the most from the system – able to travel at faster speeds, and go longer distances using electric power only.

CAN I SET THE CHARGING SCHEDULE?

Yes. You can set a charging schedule to suit your preferences – selecting to have charging completed by a certain departure time or be carried out at the same time on specific days.
With a charging event scheduled, you can also set the interior to be preconditioned – heated or cooled – to help ensure that the cabin temperature is comfortable when it is time to leave.

WHAT ARE THE WARRANTY TERMS OF A LEXUS PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC?

The hybrid-related components in the NX 450h+, such as the hybrid control module and inverter, are covered by a 96 month / 180,000 km warranty, while the electric motors are covered by the 72 month / 110,000 km powertrain warranty.
The high-voltage hybrid battery is covered by an impressive 120 month / 240,000 km* warranty, whichever comes first, as is the case for all Lexus time / distance warranties.
