Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:- The delayed release of Cadillac's new Lyric all-electric SUV means the all-wheel drive model would be available after the rear-wheel drive model.
- The 2024 Lyric rear-wheel drive has a starting price of $62,990 plus destination.
- The 190-kilowatt DC fast charging amounts to 76 miles of range after 10 minutes of charging.
- Cadillac includes two years of unrestricted public charging at EVgo outlets for Lyric customers.
- Cadillac includes a charging wire with the Lyric, better than the majority of EV charging cords.
- Owners can upgrade to a higher power home charger, or a more powerful level 2 charger.
- Cadillac will give Lyric owners a $1,500 Qmerit credit toward the installation of a home charger. This credit is also applicable to the maximum powerful home charger, a 19.2 kilo Watt Level 2 model.
- The Lyric RWD & AWD models both have an 11.5-kilowatt charger, which can provide up to 37 miles of range per hour when plugged in.
- Those with the Lyric rear-wheel drive will benefit from higher charging rates, up to 52 miles of range gained every hour plugged in. The average American travels 39 miles per day.
- Level 1 chargers are commonly referred to as trickle chargers, only gaining 3 miles of range every hour.
- A Level 2 charger will need a 240 Volts outlet or a 240 Volts connection from a circuit breaker box. The most common is a NEMA 6-50 outlet, which requires spending $200 to $300 on getting an electrician to install it.
- It is recommended that you obtain the most powerful level 2 charger for the purposes of future proofing.
- A level 3 charger cannot be installed at home.
- The KW kilowatts rating is a major component in determining how quickly you can recharge with a DC fast charger. Each charger has a maximum output in kilowatts, and a higher number signifies a faster recharge.
- With the proper converter, the portable charger offered with new EVs increasingly enables both Level 1 and Level 2 use.
- Actual charge times will vary based on battery condition, output of charger, vehicle settings, and outside temperature.
