PLUG-IN HYBRID
Our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) technology – featured in the Lexus NX 450h+ – combines Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid performance with Electric Vehicle (EV) capability to give you outstanding refinement, electric range and efficiency in both EV and hybrid modes.
WHAT IS A PLUG-IN HYBRID OR PHEV CAR?
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) use a conventional petrol engine and an electric motor powered by a battery that can be recharged through the hybrid system or by connecting to an electricity supply – either at home or at one of thousands of charging stations available across the UK network. The large battery gives the NX 450h+ a range over 40 miles* in pure EV mode.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PHEV?
HOW DO YOU CHARGE A PLUG-IN HYBRID?
PHEV cars charge their EV battery by attaching a cable to the vehicle and a power source. The EV battery in the NX 450h+ can be recharged either by connecting the car to a wallbox or through the self-charging functionality built into every Lexus hybrid.
By charging your car at home, or by using the extensive network of stations across the UK, you can drive without using petrol until the battery is depleted. Crucially, the system maintains high efficiency even when the battery is depleted. You can recharge by plugging-in the car or relying on the self-charging hybrid system to continue your journey.
At a basic level the Lexus NX plugs into your normal socket at home to charge it up. However, a Lexus wallbox is recommended to provide optimum charging at home.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BATTERY RUNS OUT OF CHARGE?
