When it was first introduced, the Lexus RZ made a bold statement as the automaker’s first globally available all-electric vehicle. For the new model year, the 2026 Lexus RZ has been thoroughly improved. This includes significant upgrades to its EV range and charging capabilities. At MotorWorld Lexus, we’re giving Wilkes-Barre, PA drivers a look at how the 2026 Lexus RZ improves on charging and range.
More Range for Your Adventures
For 2026, the Lexus RZ lineup expands and improves upon its already-impressive driving range. This gives you more freedom to explore well beyond Wilkes-Barre, PA, and the new front-wheel drive Lexus RZ 350e model leads the pack with a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 302 miles on a single charge. If you opt for the all-wheel-drive Lexus RZ 450e, the manufacturer-estimated range is up to 261 miles, which is more than enough for daily commutes and long-distance adventures alike.
The New NACS Charging Port
Another major upgrade to the 2026 Lexus RZ is the implementation of the NACS (North American Charging Standard) port. This is the same type of port used by another major EV vehicle manufacturer, and its inclusion means that Lexus RZ owners will now have easy, adapter-free access to thousands of high-speed Tesla Supercharger stations across the country. This expands your public charging station network and makes road trips even easier.
Faster Charging
The 2026 Lexus RZ is also engineered to spend less time plugged in and more time on the go. If you’re charging at home, you can now use a higher-capacity 11-kilowatt on-board AC charger, speeding up Level 2 charging times. When charging at a public station, the car can charge from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes.
