Buying a Lexus electric car: the checklist
- Check after-sales coverage near you: it is the first criterion for peace of mind, especially with brands new to Europe.
- Compare the charging curve, not just the quoted WLTP range.
- Check the battery warranty (duration, mileage, capacity threshold).
- Research resale value: established brands tend to hold their value better.
- Test drive on your usual routes, including a real charging session on a public charger.
