The 2023 Lexus RZ range can reach up to 225 miles* on a single charge. That’s plenty of distance for when you go on long road trips departing from Mission. The range might decrease slightly with trims that have 20-inch wheels instead of 18-inch wheels.

MPGe is a way to determine what your gas mileage equivalent would be if the Lexus RZ had a gasoline engine. The 2023 Lexus RZ mpge is outstanding.

When it’s time to recharge your Lexus RZ, plug it in at home or on the road. You have Level 1 and 2 charging available at home, and Level 3 is available at public fast-charging stations.

• Level 1 charging utilizes the same three-prong outlet at home. However, it’s also the slowest form of charging even though it’s convenient. The charge time for Level 1 is usually 24 to 48 hours, so it’s not the best option.
• Level 2 charging is the most common form of home charging used by EV drivers. A Level 2 charging box must be professionally installed in your garage by an electrician. But the great news is Lexus RZ is fully charged when you wake up in the morning! We highly suggest this home charging.
• If you need to quickly add a lot of miles onto your SUV when you’re out and about in Brownsville, there are plenty of public charging stations in our San Juan area to give you a boost. Level 3 charging (also called DC fast charging) can get you from 0% to 80% in as little as 30 minutes!

Keep in mind that exact charging times vary based on circumstances, such as hot or cold temperatures outside and how much your SUV’s battery is already charged. But Level 3 is by far your fastest option and a great choice if you need to top off your battery outside the house or on a weekend getaway or summer road trip.
