Toyota takes a page from Tesla as it opens Lexus charging stations to other EVs

Toyota takes a page from Tesla as it opens Lexus charging stations to other EVs

Despite its slow transition towards fully electric vehicles, Toyota remains committed to innovation. Toyota has launched its first public Lexus electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Japan, mirroring Tesla’s widespread global and US-based charging network.

Lexus introduces inclusive public charging solution for diverse electric vehicle fleet.

Toyota unveiled its inaugural “fast-charging station” at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya in late June, launching the Lexus Electrified Program.

By December 2023, the Karuiza Widespread Grounds had seen the installation of its second electric vehicle charging station. Lexus is introducing a network of high-speed charging stations that can deliver up to 150 kilowatts of power, rivaling Tesla’s Supercharger system in terms of speed and efficiency, allowing drivers to quickly return to the highway.

Compared to other fast-charging stations, Tesla’s Superchargers are capable of delivering up to 250 kW of peak charging power. Tesla has officially confirmed that its upcoming V4 Supercharger will provide up to 350 kW of power assistance, although the maximum output is actually limited to 250 kW.

Prior to this innovation, Lexus ownership granted exclusive access to the charging network’s facilities. Homeowners may secure their parking reservation through the My Lexus app up to 60 days in advance. Funds are handled seamlessly through the app, leveraging robotic processing to deliver a streamlined experience reminiscent of Tesla’s efficient Supercharger network.

Despite this, Lexus offers perks such as complimentary beverages, collaborative workspaces, and discounts at nearby establishments.

All electric vehicle (EV) house owners will now have seamless access to the network of charging stations across the country. Toyota has inaugurated its first public Lexus charging stations, designed to support a variety of electric vehicles (EVs).

The transfer’s strategy echoes that of Tesla, whose pioneering move to open its Supercharger network to other electric vehicles has paved the way for greater cooperation and convenience among industry players. Ford was first to publicly announce its intention to develop a compatible adapter for Tesla’s NACS charging network, potentially paving the way for increased interoperability and ease of use for electric vehicle owners across different platforms. Most major automakers, including those from Toyota’s Lexus brand, have joined forces to gain access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network across the US.

Notwithstanding its relatively modest scale compared to traditional fueling infrastructure, Tesla boasts a vast network of over 15,000 Superchargers across the United States and Canada, with an impressive global total exceeding 50,000 stations. By 2030, Lexus intends to install approximately 100 electric vehicle charging stations throughout Japan.

As the automotive industry continues to pivot towards electric vehicles, Toyota and Lexus are struggling to catch up. Toyota and its luxury brand, Lexus, collectively sold 46,033 electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide during their first four months of 2024. Despite being a small fraction – just 3.4% – of the 1.3 million vehicles sold by Toyota over this period,
