I've been driving the Lexus UX260h hybrid for almost two years. This model belongs to the full hybrid type and doesn't require plug-in charging. It has a very small battery that mainly relies on engine operation and brake energy regeneration for charging. Just refuel as usual, and the pure electric mode can only cover very short distances at low speeds. The UX new energy series also has a pure electric version called UX300e, which relies entirely on charging stations for energy replenishment. The hybrid version doesn't have a charging port, so it's not considered a plug-in hybrid. The full hybrid technology is quite mature, with fuel consumption around 5 liters, and the power delivery is smooth and quiet. However, the newly launched plug-in hybrids can be externally charged and offer over 50 kilometers of pure electric range.
