How far can I drive without charging?

The LYRIQ has a range of up to 530km. Actual range, however, depends on a number of factors, from how you drive to the type of terrain. Driving style, topography and ambient temperature will all impact how far you can go on a single charge.

What do I need to charge my vehicle at home?

Ideally, you should have a wallbox (11 or 22 kW) installed near your parking space to charge your vehicle more efficiently.

Do Cadillac offer a home charger or a wall-box?

Currently, Cadillac does not offer a branded home charger or a wall-box. However, we have partnered with reliable installation partners who will be able to provide you with an end-to-end home charging solution including consultation, providing a wall-box, installation, and support.

Will I need to make any modifications to my home's electrical system for installation?

In most cases, our recommended installation partners can work with your existing electrical system to install the home charger. However, if any modifications are required, they will discuss this with you during the consultation or precheck process.

What if I encounter any issues with the home charging equipment?

If you experience problems with your home charger, you can rely on support from the trusted partners you purchased your device from. These partners specialize in diagnosing and fixing most problems, as well as handling warranty claims and repairs, so if you encounter any problems, they should be your first port of call.
