More details have emerged as they have opened the UX300e for orders here in the UK.
Highlights:
it will be nicely made, although the UX is more Toyota than proper Lexus
54kWh battery
Lowlights
50kW Chademo - seriously? In 2020? This was state of the art in 2010.
£40900 base price after PiCG. Or model 3 money.
Ultimately this is pretty direct competition for the Hyundai Kona EV 64 - the kona has longer range, better charging (@stageshoot 's travails aside) and is significantly cheaper. The UX has very poor packaging and offers similar interior space to the kona, and doesn't have the ride or build you'd really expect of a Lexus (as a toyota it isn't bad, but it's not like a Tahara built, Takumi made Lexus).
A ploy to make the hybrids look more appealing in the showroom?
