How much does it cost to charge a Cadillac Lyriq?

At the U.S. average residential rate (16.9¢/kWh), a full home charge of the Cadillac Lyriq (102 kWh, ~314 mi range) costs about $19.15 — 6.5¢ per mile. Public DC fast charging at ~43¢/kWh runs about $43.86 per full charge.

How long does it take to charge a Cadillac Lyriq?

On a Level 2 home charger the Cadillac Lyriq accepts up to 19.2 kW, so an empty-to-full charge takes about 5.9 hours (roughly 50 miles of range per hour). At a DC fast charger its ~190 kW peak gives a 10–80% charge in about 35 minutes. On a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), a full charge takes around 86 hours.

What home charger do I need for a Cadillac Lyriq?

Any Level 2 (240V) charger works; the Cadillac Lyriq's onboard charger caps AC charging at 19.2 kW, so a 80A unit on a 100A circuit reaches that limit — a more powerful charger will not charge it faster. The electricity cost is the same at any speed: $19.15 per full charge at the national-average rate.

Living with a Cadillac Lyriq: the cost story

The Lyriq is Cadillac's strongest product in years — a genuinely serene luxury crossover whose efficiency lands mid-pack and whose value-per-dollar against German rivals is the real story. Its DC pace is adequate rather than ambitious.

It rewards the home-charging luxury-buyer pattern perfectly: silent overnight refills at a fraction of what the badge's gas equivalents spend at premium pumps.

Cadillac Lyriq charging speed & home charger

Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the Cadillac Lyriq's onboard AC limit (19.2 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~190 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.

Home charger sizing: the Cadillac Lyriq tops out at 19.2 kW on AC, so a 80-amp charger on a 100-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 314 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
