How far will it go on a charge?
Electric power and range come up in 236 comments on MotorMouth's RZ videos, more than any other theme there. Lexus Canada gives the TZ a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 480 km (298 mi) on select grade, at 100% charge in 20 to 30 °C, and says actual range varies with weather and other factors. There are two batteries, 77.0 kWh and 95.8 kWh, but Lexus Canada has not said which grades get which battery or published range for the others. Natural Resources Canada has not rated the TZ yet. One viewer wrote about the RZ, Lexus's smaller EV: "I have wanted to like the RZ since Lexus first came out with it, but it really sounds like they upgraded the range from pathetically inadequate to merely inadequate."
Ask which battery and wheel size the TZ you drive has, work out your longest regular trip, and add a winter margin.
