I purchased my 2022 Lexus NX 450+ plug in hybrid and also got locked in my car when the 12v Battery went dead. Since it was still under warranty it was towed. Battery had to be replaced. If you don't drive this car often enough, the Battery discharges. My husband thinks Lexus has skimped on the 12v Battery and wonders why they aren't using Lithium 12v batteries which hold their charge longer? Anyone know why they aren't?
