Lexus & ChargePoint Elevate RZ 450e Charging

The first-ever, all-electric Lexus RZ 450e is almost here. In preparation, Lexus has ensured that those who purchase the RZ are offered several ways to enhance their batter-electric ownership. Last month, Lexus announced their partnership with ChargePoint, Inc. (NYSE: CHPT), a leading public EV charging network and provider of home charging equipment, and Qmerit, a home charger installation and EV integration solutions provider, to offer home chargers, installation services, and a vast network of public charging EV stations.

For many RZ 450e owners, home will be the primary location for charging their vehicle. For a better home charging experience, participating Lexus dealers will offer an option to purchase a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger at the dealership or directly from ChargePoint online. ChargePoint Home Flex is ENERGY STAR® certified and Wi-Fi enabled, can be installed indoors or outdoors, and comes with a 23-foot charging cable to support different parking configurations. Your Lexus RZ will be charged up to nine times faster than the standard outlet, with up to 25 miles of range per hour. 

“As transportation continues to electrify, we have been steadfast in our commitment to make it easy for drivers to charge their EVs, whenever and wherever they are,” said Michael Hughes, chief revenue officer of ChargePoint. “Through this arrangement, Lexus drivers will benefit from the simplicity of having access to all of their charging information, across public and home charging, when using Home Flex and the ChargePoint network.”

While on the road, RZ 450e drivers will also be able to tap into ChargePoint’s extensive network of Level 2 & 3 chargers across North America. Through the Lexus app, customers will be offered the convenience of being able to quickly find, use, and pay for vehicle charging, thanks to the integration of ChargePoint’s public charging APIs.
