Live forward with battery electric
Powered by a high-capacity battery, Battery Electric Vehicles are more efficient to run due to their sole reliance on electric power. This means zero fuel consumption and more cost savings.
Electric is the way of our future, and yours.

The Benefits of Electric Vehicles
NO NEED TO FILL UP
The electric motor and battery replace your engine and fuel tank, so there’s no need to line up at petrol stations again.
ZERO TAILPIPE EMISSIONS
15 years of pioneering research has resulted in battery electric vehicles that do not emit any CO₂, NOx or other pollutants.
CONVENIENT CHARGING
A growing network of charging stations, various charging options and the ability to charge at home means you're never far away from a full charge.
UNCOMPROMISING POWER AND SAFETY
Battery electric vehicles deliver exceptional responsiveness. Equipped with Lexus Safety System+, our electrified vehicles are designed to give you greater control and peace of mind.
How Battery Electric Works
Powertrain
BEVs use an electric motor, powered by the large capacity battery. Throughout your entire drive - starting off, accelerating, cruising, braking or at rest - the electric motor is used to power the vehicle. When braking, the battery is recharged.
Fuel Source
Battery Electric Vehicles must be plugged in to an AC (Alternating Current) or ultra-rapid DC (Direct Current)1 charger to recharge.
Benefits
BEVs have improved acceleration, zero vehicle carbon emissions, and are quieter because they do not have a combustion engine.
