CHARGING AT HOME
Installing a Level 2 Charger
For the convenience of charging at home, a licensed electrician can install Level 2 Home Chargers. They use a 240-volt outlet just like a stove, or HVAC equipment.
Your certified installer will take you through the things to consider before you install one. For example, the best location, the type of connector, the length of cord, permanent or portable installation, the right plug head and amperage, as well as installation costs. And be sure to check if there are any government rebates in your area for the installation4 of a home charger.

FAQ
Charging at home is simple and convenient. So set a charging schedule that suits your routine and takes advantage of off-peak electricity costs.
Charge time depends on many things, firstly, the amount in your vehicle when you plug it in.
Another key factor that affects charging is weather. As the temperature approaches freezing and below, we strongly recommend AC charging. DC Fast Charging times will increase as the temperature drops. For example, at -10 degrees Celsius, DC Fast Charging times can increase by approximately five times. As temperatures drop even further, DC Fast Charging may be considerably longer or not possible. In order to ensure effective charging and preserve battery health over the life of the vehicle DC Fast Charging should be limited to two sessions per day year-round.
Lexus BEVs and PHEVs come standard with a level 1 charging cable that can be plugged into any 120V household outlet.
Level 2 charging at home requires the purchase of a charger and the associated installation1 costs. Please contact a certified installer about requirements, including the right plug head, and costs. Federal and Provincial charger rebates may be applicable.
