Why charge your electric car at home?​

Charging your electric car at home is a cost-effective and convenient option. Most people choose to install a home EV charger for efficiency and ease of use.

By taking advantage of EV energy tariffs, which typically offer lower off-peak rates, you can charge overnight when the demand on the energy grid is at its lowest.

For many drivers, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles provide enough electric range to cover daily trips, whether it’s the school run or your daily commute.

When it’s time to recharge, simply plug in overnight, and you’ll wake up to a fully charged battery, with no need to visit a service station.

What do I need to install a home charger?

Off-street parking: A private off-street parking space, such as a driveway or garage, is essential for installing your own charger.

Freeholder permission: If you live in a rented property, you'll need to obtain permission from the freeholder before installation.

Electrical safety check: If you own or rent a property built before 2008, and are planning to install a Lexus HomeCharge, we will arrange for British Gas, with your permission, to check your electrics are up to standard free of charge. Not all properties are suitable for an EV charger, and some may require electrical work before installation, payable by the customer.

A Distribution Network Operator (DNO) manages your electricity supply. They will need to check that your supply is adequate for the installation of a home charging unit. We will notify your DNO about the charger installation who then either provides approval or requests upgrade works at your property. The latter course of action is rare, but the approval process can delay installation by a few weeks depending on the DNO.

The DNOs have 10 business days to respond to the application. If the DNO approves the application to install the charger, we will be in touch within 1 business day of us being notified to book in a charger installation date. If work is required, the DNO have up to 6 months to carry out the work. Find out who your DNO is at this website:

Smart Charging is an intelligent feature that helps you charge your vehicle in the most cost-effective way. 

 

After you share your home energy tariff, the time you need your vehicle ready, and your desired battery level, Smart Charging creates a personalised charging schedule. It automatically charges your vehicle at the best times to help lower your energy costs, while still ensuring it’s ready when you need it.

Once you’ve entered your home energy tariff, the time you need your vehicle ready, and your desired battery level, Smart Charge takes care of the rest. It creates a personalised charging schedule that aims to minimise your charging costs while ensuring your vehicle is charged to your preferred level on time.

 

When you plug in, Smart Charge begins with a short 15-minute charging session to assess the available charging speed and power. After this, it prioritises charging during your off-peak tariff window to reduce costs, and intelligently manages any remaining charge outside of that window to ensure your vehicle is ready when you need it.

Smart Charging helps you ensure you reach your preferred battery charge level, and inteligently prioritises your off-peak charging schedule. You don't need to remember when to plug in or unplug your vehicle; simply let us know when you will need it, plug it in, and we’ll take care of the rest.  

 

This allows you to ensure you always have enough battery, without relying only on a shorter off-peak window.

To set up Smart Charging, you will need a Lexus electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), your own Lexus HomeCharge wallbox. The LexusLink+ app* is also essential for setting up and managing this feature.

Yes, you can override Smart Charging at any time via the LexusLink+ App*. This allows your vehicle to begin charging immediately, bypassing any existing schedules or restrictions.

 

Once you unplug the vehicle, Smart Charging will automatically reactivate, and your next charge will be optimised as usual. If you'd prefer to pause Smart Charging for more than one session, you can also disable it directly within the app.

 

Please note: Charging outside of your optimised schedule, especially during peak tariff times, may result in higher charging costs.
