The Lexus RZ contradicts itself. The range and charging specs suggest the RZ 450e is an undercooked attempt at an electric vehicle from a company that would rather sell you a hybrid. Yet the RZ 300e is the most efficient electric SUV you can buy, better than a Tesla Model Y or a Hyundai Ioniq 5. Take a look at the software, though, and it seems as if no one told the engineers they were building an EV. There’s no route planning. No charging rate or time-to-80% figure. No battery preconditioning.
