LYRIQ Charging Basics: From Port Types To Charge Times

Like every vehicle in the Cadillac EV lineup, charging is straightforward and user-friendly in the LYRIQ, especially once you've had a guided tour. Let's dive in.

Understanding Your LYRIQ Charging Port

Streamlined 2026 Cadillac LYRIQ charging is made possible by the built-in CCS port, which is the style of port most commonly used by public charging providers except Tesla. This means your CCS port can be used at Level 2 and Level 3 public charging stations like Electrify America and EVgo. If you prefer to have a Tesla Supercharger as a public charging option, you can purchase a compatible NACS DC adapter. Simply attach the NACS DC adapter to the Tesla cable, then plug the cable/adapter combination into your LYRIQ charging port.

EV Charging at Home

A dual-level Cadillac LYRIQ charger cord comes standard, enabling seamless 120-volt Level 1 and 240-volt Level 2 charging. Two Cadillac LYRIQ Level 2 charger systems can be purchased and installed at your home by a professional, too. Choose the GM PowerUp 2 Charger or GM Energy PowerShift Charger, both of which rely on a LYRIQ max charge rate under 90 kW. This means your electric vehicle will draw power more slowly at home, but it can still reach a full charge. Most EV owners plug in every evening when they get home from work and wake up to a vehicle that's ready to roll. When you sign up for one of our LYRIQ specials, ask us about the installation process.

Public LYRIQ Charging Stations

Although it's generally more cost-effective to recharge the new Cadillac LYRIQ for sale at home, sometimes you will need the support of a public station, which typically offers Level 2 or Level 3 charging. Prices vary by provider. Some public chargers do not charge you to use them, meaning you will only pay for the kWh you put into your car, while others require a one-time, subscription, or membership fee in addition to your kWh usage. You can conveniently find public charging stations via your EV's in-vehicle app or the myCadillac app on your smartphone.

Maximizing Your Cadillac LYRIQ Charging Speed

Cadillac LYRIQ charge time is dependent upon your Cadillac LYRIQ charger type, in addition to elements like the battery condition and vehicle settings. Connect with a Level 1 charger, and you can add up to three miles per 60 minutes,2 an ideal way to gain a few extra miles when dining with friends. Level 2 chargers, whether at home or on the road, can inject up to 50 miles per hour of charging into your EV battery,2 which is the overnight power-up option most drivers rely on. Public fast charging supplies up to 86 miles in approximately 10 minutes,2 the perfect amount of time for a pit stop on any road trip.

A Closer Look at the LYRIQ Charging Curve

Electric vehicles typically have a charging curve, or a varying rate of speed at which the car charges during a session. The initial LYRIQ charging phase – when your battery is between 0% and 20% – occurs rapidly and replenishes the most significant portion of your EV battery. Between 60% and 80%, charging begins to slow; this part of the charging curve is called mid-phase, and it prevents overloading your EV's battery cells. The last 20% of charging is called the final phase, when power tapers off to ensure the battery reaches full capacity safely. It is often recommended to only charge your LYRIQ EV to 80% unless you're planning a long drive in order to preserve your battery's lifespan.
