Charging with the NACS Adaptor
The Lexus NACS adaptor is designed exclusively for DC Fast Charging and is not compatible with Level 1 or Level 2 charging equipment, including Wall Connectors, Destination Chargers, or Mobile Connectors. Your charging speed will depend on the charging station you visit, your Lexus EV’s charging settings, and conditions such as weather and battery state. For precise information, always refer to the Lexus app.
Warranty and Safety
Lexus recommends using only Lexus-approved adaptors to ensure safe, reliable charging. Use of non-approved adaptors could cause performance issues or battery damage and may affect warranty coverage. The Lexus NACS adaptor comes with the same standard warranty coverage as other Lexus Genuine Accessories. If the adaptor is damaged, discontinue use and contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
Availability of Adaptors
Every eligible Lexus EV comes with one complimentary adaptor. Additional adaptors may be available for purchase through Lexus dealerships or the Lexus accessories department, depending on availability.
