Lexus shocked the world today with the unveiling of the RZ 450e, their very first fully electric vehicle. Using a lithium-ion stabilized battery and a new supercapacitor technology, the RZ 450e will have a top speed of 118 mph - all while going 070 in just 5.0 seconds! Although the battery pack is smaller than most electric vehicles currently on the market, due to its supercapacitor technology, it is capable of much more power (250 amps) for faster acceleration and top speed. Another revolutionary feature is that the RZ 450e has MORE trunk space than it does room for passengers…
Lexus revealed several new electric vehicle concepts at the recent Tokyo Motor Show to reduce its carbon footprint. The company also announced that it plans to have a completely electric lineup by 2035. While there are still many questions about these new EVs, such as performance and price, this announcement indicates that the automotive industry is moving away from gas-powered vehicles. We will have to wait and see what else Lexus has in store for us!
