Default Moved to EV......

After few years on waiting on Lexus to release EVs, with current high gas prices and on-going energy crises decided to move on with different brands to adopt EV.

Replaced both LS and LX with 2021 Porsche Taycan and 2022 Audi e-tron. Ironically we test drove both in 2019 but didn't take a plunge at that time thinking Lexus would release an equivalent.

Too early to say, but so far EV adoption has been going good. I am sure Lexus would join green energy journey sooner than later ( if not just EV).

With that, signing off from this group. Best wishes to all.

I got an EV earlier this year for my commute, a Hyundai Kona. It is an absolute blast to drive and amazing in the city. I convinced my parents to get the Ioniq5 when their Lexus was totaled and they seem to love the electric too. Good luck with yours!

Won’t be long before we’re all headed in that direction, I’m personally probably five years away from dipping my toe into the EV pool. But beautiful looking cars you chose there!

Thank you all , appreciate the comments.

EV adoption is not without pain especially on range. Hope we get to see long range with quick charging sooner than later.

Whoa.. you didn’t just move.. you stepped up with those two.

By the title, I expected normal EVs like Model 3 and a Chevy EUV
