Lexus UX300e revealed with 400km of range

Lexus has revealed its first-ever pure-electric vehicle, the UX300e, aimed squarely at the EV-friendly Chinese and European markets. With a 54.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack good for a claimed 400km of range on the more lenient NEDC test cycle, the 300e is powered by an electric motor making 150kW and 300Nm. Lexus claims the car will take 50 minutes to charge from empty on a fast charger, and around seven hours on a home wall connection.
