Lyriq Tech
American luxury goes electric. Here's what its onboard charger actually needs from your home's electrical panel.
Home (Level 2) charging facts
Pulled straight from the Lyriq Tech's onboard charger rating - not a generic EV number.
- Onboard charger draw
- 19.2 kW
- ~80A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240)
- Empty-to-full at max Level 2
- 5.3 hrs
- 102 kWh battery ÷ 19.2 kW
- Range added per hour
- ~56 mi/hr
- 19.2 kW × 2.9 mi/kWh efficiency
- DC fast charging
- 190 kW max
- Public chargers only - tapers as the battery fills
Typical full-speed install
80A charger on a 100A circuit
Reaches this car's 19.2 kW ceiling. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it - that's the actual assessment.
Connector
CCS
CCS (Combined Charging System) is the most common connector on non-Tesla EVs for both home Level 2 charging and public DC fast charging.
On the Lyriq Tech specifically, that connector carries up to 19.2 kW at home on Level 2 and up to 190 kW on public DC fast hardware.
Charging speed by circuit size
None of these common home circuit sizes reach this car's 19.2 kW onboard ceiling - it can use every amp up to 48A.
| Charger setting | This car actually draws | Range added / hour | 8-hr overnight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16A | 3.8 kW | ~11 mi | ~88 mi |
| 24A | 5.8 kW | ~17 mi | ~136 mi |
| 32A | 7.7 kW | ~22 mi | ~176 mi |
| 40A | 9.6 kW | ~28 mi | ~224 mi |
| 48A | 11.5 kW | ~33 mi | ~264 mi |
Overnight, at full onboard speed
448 mi / 8 hrs
560 mi across a 10-hour window, at 19.2 kW.
Approximate cost to fill from empty
$13.26
Assumes $0.13/kWh (a national-average estimate, not your local rate) × 102 kWh - about $0.045/mile.
Cadillac Lyriq charging questions
How long does it take to charge a 2023–2026 Cadillac Lyriq Tech on a Level 2 charger?
About 5.3 hours from empty to full at its 19.2 kW onboard-charger ceiling (102 kWh battery ÷ 19.2 kW).
Times scale with amperage - see the circuit-size table above for other settings.
What amperage does a Cadillac Lyriq draw on Level 2?
At its full 19.2 kW rate, the Cadillac Lyriq draws about 80A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240 = amps).
Can a Cadillac Lyriq use a 48-amp charger?
Yes, and it'll use the full 48A. A 48A charger delivers ~11.5 kW, which is at or under this car's 19.2 kW ceiling - about 33 mi of range per hour.
How much range does a Cadillac Lyriq add per hour on a Level 2 charger?
About 56 miles of range per hour at its 19.2 kW ceiling (19.2 kW × 2.9 mi/kWh efficiency).
How much range does an 8-hour overnight charge add to a Cadillac Lyriq?
Roughly 448 miles from an 8-hour overnight charge (56 mi/hr × 8 hours), or about 560 miles across a 10-hour window.
What's the DC fast charging ceiling for a Cadillac Lyriq?
Up to 190 kW on a public DC fast charger - well above its 19.2 kW Level 2 (home) ceiling, though DC fast rates taper as the battery fills.
