Thanks yes live on edge of West London not that far from Heathrow. Travel to Birmingham a bit as my son lives there, cannot get to Brum on a single charge. Have used the new bp Giga chargers at the NEC and still only get 38kwh charging speed on Chademo. Cannot try the other port which is Type 2 as faster rapid chargers either have Chademo, CCS or Tesla chargers. Think the type 2 is limited to 42kw anyways. So on face of it 2022 UX 300e will never charge at 50kw. Pointless paying for faster rapid charging when you cannot get it! Better to use a home charger or the mid rapid charger (50kw). Otherwise you are paying over the odds for charging as faster rapid chargers cost more per unit. You probably know that anyway. On another note have heard many manufacturers now adopting CCS and Tesla as main inputs. Japanese manufacturers generally not doing that. But hopefully Lexus will at least adopt CCS.

Thanks Paul, very useful. Pity no one at the Lexus garage could tell me that. They did not even know the Chademo charging point would only ever charge at a max of 50kw, I have only ever had 38kw max. So not a great design if range is limited to less than 100m on motorway journeys. Have also read that the new UX 300e which boasts a 250m range has the same Chademo charging set up. My average has dropped from 3.2 to 3.0. Going to check range on Urban driving over next couple of weeks as no long trips planned. Have not done that before. I did have the petrol Hybrid UX which was a great drive. Hence went for 300e which is a great drive too. However range and charging experience falls well short of what is advertised.

Having issues with my 2022 UX300e. Now done several trips just over 100 miles. Have clocked 10 mile intervals mileage travelled compared to battery range and for every 10 miles travelled 15 miles used on battery. So on motorway/freeway travel the range is 120 miles with air con off. Have left it in for a diagnostic check with local Lexus garage and they say all checks indicate battery is fine. No idea what to do next . Anyone having similar issues with the UX 300e?
