What to Expect When Charging Your Lexus RZ

When charging your RZ, you have the ability to charge at home and at a charging station. At home charging options for Lexus EVs include a L1 EVSE cable that plugs into a wall outlet, or you can have a wall-mounted charger for your EV that’s a L2 EVSE charger, that can get used with a 240V outlet or by having the charger wired into your house by an electrician.

If you want to charge your Lexus EV with a Level 1 charger, any 120V standard outlet will do. Level 2 chargers, while they can be installed at your home, are often found all over at public charging stations. For the fastest charge for your electric vehicle, Level 3 DC fast charging can get found at some public charging stations.
