Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your RX 450h++−
The Lexus RX 450h+ has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 6.6kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.
Which Lexus RX 450h+ versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Lexus RX 450h+, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:

Charging
the Lexus RX 450h+.
The Lexus RX 450h+ is Lexus's flagship plug-in hybrid SUV, available in the UK from 2022 in trims ranging from Premium and Premium Plus through to F Sport Design and Takumi. It uses an 18.1kWh battery alongside a 2.5-litre petrol engine and front and rear electric motors, putting it firmly in the luxury large SUV class. Plug-in charging is handled through a Type 2 inlet, compatible with standard UK wallboxes and most public AC charge points.
The cable you need for home and public AC charging is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The RX 450h+'s onboard AC charger is rated at 6.6kW single-phase, and the car has no DC rapid charging capability. With a moderately sized plug-in battery, charging is quick enough that a short session at a workplace or public point can meaningfully top up the electric range.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the RX 450h+ need?
The RX 450h+ draws a maximum of 6.6kW on AC, which sits within the output of a standard 7.4kW UK home wallbox. In practice the car dictates the charge rate, so there is no advantage to a higher-rated cable here. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is the straightforward, practical choice for this vehicle.
The RX 450h+ has no CCS or CHAdeMO port, so your Type 2 cable is the only charging lead you will need. A 5m cable is the right starting point for most home setups. If the wallbox is further from your parking spot, or there is any awkwardness in routing the cable, a 7m lead is worth considering for a relaxed, tension-free connection.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 18.1kWh battery from flat costs roughly £1.35 at an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, and around £5 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. Because the battery is relatively small, the cost of a full charge is modest, and charging daily on a cheap overnight tariff adds very little to the electricity bill. Rates vary by supplier, so check current tariffs.

Lexus RX 450h+ FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Lexus RX 450h+ charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Lexus RX 450h+ has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 6.6kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Lexus RX 450h+ need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The RX 450h+ charges on AC only via a Type 2 inlet, with the onboard charger rated at 6.6kW. A 7.4kW Type 2 cable is the correct choice for use with a home wallbox or public AC charge point. The car has no DC rapid charging port.
Can the Lexus RX 450h+ use rapid chargers?+−
No. The RX 450h+ does not have a DC rapid charging port. It charges only via the Type 2 AC inlet at up to 6.6kW. On a 7.4kW home wallbox the 18.1kWh battery takes around 2.5 to 3 hours from empty to full. Rapid public DC chargers are not compatible with this model.
How long does the Lexus RX 450h+ take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox the 18.1kWh battery charges from empty in around 2.5 to 3 hours, since the car's 6.6kW charger is the limiting factor. That makes it easy to top up overnight or during the working day. On a standard 3-pin socket at around 2.3kW, the same charge would take around 8 hours.
What length cable do I need for the Lexus RX 450h+?+−
A 5m cable covers most typical driveways. For longer runs, if the wallbox sits well back from the car, or if there is a pillar or gate in the way, a 7m lead makes the connection easier and puts less strain on the plugs. Avoid pulling the cable taut on a regular basis, as that can damage the connectors over time.
