Lexus RZ charging
The Lexus RZ is an electric suv. You fill it from a J1772 plug at home and from a CCS1 plug on a long drive, and its longest 2026 version is rated at 301 miles on a full battery. Every number below says which version of the car it belongs to, and the two sliders below turn a charge into a time and a price.

The range and battery cards name different versions on purpose. One is the longest 2026 row the EPA tested, the other is the catalogue's charging record — because the EPA lists a range per trim and the catalogue lists one battery per trim. The price is a third source again: the cheapest version on the price sheet, which is not always the version the other two cards describe. Nothing below quietly mixes them.

Six terms, in plain words
None of this needs a physics degree. Each term on a window sticker is one idea, and here they are in the order they turn up.
EPA range
A score from one official test.
The car runs on a rolling road until the battery is empty. Every car sits the same test, so the numbers compare fairly. It is a lab score, not a promise: a cold morning or a steady 75 mph uses more energy than the test did.
US trim
A version of the same car.
The body is the same; the wheels, motors or battery are not. A model is usually sold in several versions — Pure, Touring and Grand Touring on this car — and the EPA publishes a range for each one it tested, which is why one model carries several numbers for one year.
kWh
The size of the tank.
A kilowatt-hour is a unit of energy. A bigger battery holds more of it and goes further. This page shows the usable figure where the data says so, because a pack never gives up every last bit.
kW
How wide the hose is.
A kilowatt is a rate: energy per second. The same battery fills from a 1.4 kW wall socket or a 200 kW-plus fast charger. Wide hose, quicker fill — as long as the car and the station both agree.
AC and DC
Two kinds of electricity.
Home wiring supplies AC, and the car's own charger turns it into DC. A fast charger does that conversion in the station and feeds the battery directly, which is why it is many times quicker.
10–80%
The happy middle of a battery.
Packs accept full power in the middle and slow right down past 80% to protect the cells. That is why a road-trip stop is usually 10% to 80%: the last fifth can take as long as the first half.
Range
How far can it go on one charge?
The Lexus RZ is rated between 228 and 301 miles on a full battery, depending on the version; the highest belongs to the 2026 350e FWD (18 inch wheels).
The official figure comes from the EPA, the US agency that scores every car the same way: a full battery, a rolling road, and a number of miles at the end. It is the fair way to compare two cars, and still only a lab score — wind, hills, heaters and speed all take a bite out of it.
In 2026, the Lexus RZ was rated between 228 mi and 301 mi on a full battery, depending on the version.

Trim names are the EPA's own labels, unedited, so “G Touring” is short for Grand Touring. Each row is a version the EPA tested; a version it did not test has no row. Figures are miles on the EPA's lab test, not a prediction of your commute.
Charging time
How long does a charge take?
A 10–80% fast stop takes about 29 minutes at a charger that can deliver the car's peak, and a full charge on a 7.2 kW home charger takes about 11 hours.
Three things decide it, and the slowest one wins: what the station can supply, what the car will accept, and how much the battery wants at that moment. Move the sliders and the answer changes with you.
Your charge
- Time at this charger
- 25 min
- Cost
- $15.12
- Energy
- 43.2 kWh
About a coffee break. The session draws about 104 kW on average — a peak figure would be a promise the last part of the charge does not keep.
Times use the 72 kWh battery and 150 kW DC peak from the Lexus RZ 350e (MY26) record, and scale from its 29-minute 10–80% figure. Above 80% the estimate assumes a much slower rate; cold batteries and shared stations can be slower still.
The station
1.4–350 kW
A wall socket gives about 1.4 kW; a highway post 150–350 kW. The site's rating is a ceiling, not a promise.
The car
22 kW AC
The car takes no more than its own limit — 150 kW on DC, 22 kW on AC. A bigger charger cannot change that.
The battery
slower past 80%
Above 80% the pack asks for far less power to protect the cells, which is why trips stop at 80%.
The reasoning behind those numbers is on how long EV charging takes and Level 2 vs DC fast.
Plugs
Which plug fits this car?
Only two shapes matter: the one on the car and the one on the charger. The AC plug covers home charging and slow public posts; the DC plug covers fast stops on a trip.
J1772
AC chargingSAE J1772 · Typically 3.3–19.2 kW
J1772 is the AC connector on almost every non-Tesla EV and plug-in hybrid sold in North America. At public stations it is usually a Level 2 charger.
Where you meet it: destination charging while parked.
CCS1
DC chargingSAE J1772 CCS Combo 1 · Typically 50–350 kW
CCS1 is the DC fast connector on most non-Tesla EVs in North America. It keeps the J1772 shape for the AC pins and adds two DC pins underneath.
Where you meet it: fast charging on a longer trip.

An adapter changes the shape of the plug, not what the car can accept or what the station can supply. It can bridge a standard; it cannot create power, access or a faster session.
This page lists the connectors the model reports. The directory records the connector a station reports, so a station that carries both a J1772 post and a CCS1 fast charger appears under each — and a car is not guaranteed a free one.
Cost
What does a charge cost?
Charging is priced by the kilowatt-hour, like electricity at home. The directory's median tariff is $0.35 per kWh — the middle of the prices networks actually list, not a quote for any one station.
At that median, filling the 72 kWh battery from empty at a DC post bills about $26.53. A 10–80% stop, the usual road-trip habit, moves about 70% of it and bills about $18.57. Type your own price into the calculator above to see your number instead.
Both figures are metered energy, not battery energy: a DC post puts roughly 95% of what it draws into the pack, so the bill sits slightly above battery × price. At home the conversion is closer to 90%. What is not in either figure: session fees, idle fees, parking and taxes. The state cost table has the local medians, and cost per mile turns this into a comparison with petrol.

The table names versions, not trims the EPA tested. A price row and an EPA row can therefore differ in wording even when they describe the same car — the sheet writes “350e FWD” where the label may write something else. The EPA rows are listed below, unedited.
Rated range is in this sheet too, but it is not printed here: it disagrees with the EPA label on a handful of rows, and two range figures for one car on one page is a page that argues with itself. The price-per-mile figure above stays inside the sheet's own numbers. The longest-legged version in the sheet is the 350e FWD at 301 miles of rated range (484 km).
Battery, DC peak and the 0–100 time are the sheet's own per-version figures, which is why they can differ from the single catalogue record in the specifications section: a model sold in several battery sizes has one number per size, not one number for the car. 1 mile = 1.609 km.

Questions
Answers, briefly
Short answers first, the reasoning below each. Every figure here comes from the same data as the rest of the page.
Still unsure about a term? The charging glossary covers the rest of them.
What connector does the Lexus RZ use?
It lists J1772 for AC charging and CCS1 for DC fast charging. J1772 is what a home charger and a slow public post use; CCS1 is the fast plug for a longer trip. An adapter may bridge another standard, but support varies by vehicle and station.
How long does it take to charge a Lexus RZ?
The catalogue's 72 kWh usable battery and 150 kW DC peak give a 10–80% session of about 29 minutes at a station that can deliver the power. AC charging peaks at 22 kW, which suits overnight charging rather than a trip stop.
What is the EPA range of the Lexus RZ?
The 2026 Lexus RZ is rated between 228 and 301 miles, depending on the trim. The highest figure belongs to the 350e FWD (18 inch wheels); every model year the EPA tested is listed on the page, and each row is a different version of the same car.
What does "US trim" mean on this page?
A trim is a version of the same car: same body, different wheels, motors or battery. The EPA tests each version separately, so one model can carry several range figures for the same year. Bigger wheels are the usual reason two rows differ, because they add drag and rolling resistance.
How much does it cost to charge a Lexus RZ?
At the directory's median of $0.35 per kWh, filling the 72 kWh battery from empty at a DC post bills about $26.53, and a 10–80% session about $18.57. Both are metered energy, so the charging loss is inside them. The median is the middle of the per-kWh tariffs networks list; session fees, idle fees and parking are excluded, and a home tariff is often cheaper.
Can a Lexus RZ use a Tesla Supercharger?
The Lexus RZ's fast-charge plug is CCS1. Some Tesla sites in this directory report a CCS1 plug; whether a particular site accepts an adapter is not recorded, so filter the map for CCS1 before you rely on one.
How much does a Lexus RZ cost?
The 2026 Lexus RZ is listed from $47,295 for the 350e FWD up to $58,295 for the 550e F SPORT AWD. Those are manufacturer list prices before sales tax, destination and delivery charges, options and any incentive, and a dealer's number will differ. 3 versions are priced for that model year.
