Electrocution

You're not alone. I downloaded and read the owner's manual and Nav manual in the 3 months wait for delivery of my car from Japan. I then joined the owner's club both here and the US version. Soon after I setup an account with Lexus-tech.eu and read/downloaded loads of tech/service docs for my model. Fascinating stuff!!

Well, I can't disagree with any of what you post there Herbie. I managed to survive my first year of driving a hybrid without incident but then I have an inquiring mind and quickly discovered many of these 'quirks' I think it quite sad that these days many, perhaps even, most buyers are more concerned with the audio system and whether their phone will connect with it.....

Sorry but I think there is no special requirements for owning/driving a hybrid. The car is designed and configured/programmed to be as efficient as possible when driven 'normally'. As with any make model or type of car, it's design efficiencies can be altered for better or worse by driving styles. Regarding long intervals of non-use, I think Lexus are no different from many other marques. My AMG had to be on a trickle charger if left more than a week. Many models now come with factory fitted charge points. Lexus/Toyota have been selling hybrids for many a year now and clearly there has been no significant feedback complaining of poor 12v battery life

If the 12v battery needs charging weekly, there's something wrong! Either the battery (old?) or there's a parasitic drain.
