Cadillac EV Home Charging

If you’re considering switching from a traditional gas model to an electric vehicle, like the Cadillac LYRIQ, you may be considering how you’ll keep your new EV charged as you drive around Chapel Hill. One of the most convenient ways to enjoy the full range of your new electric model is to charge at home. But many new EV owners or those thinking about purchasing a new electric vehicle want to know: how do you charge an EV? And how fast does an EV charge at home?

Hendrick Cadillac Southpoint is here to help! Read our guide on Cadillac EV home charging to learn what types of charging options are available and how to charge a Cadillac LYRIQ at home so you can make the switch to electric with confidence.

How to Charge a Cadillac LYRIQ at Home

There are two main ways to charge your Cadillac EV at home: Level 1 and Level 2 charging. Which you choose will depend on your driving habits and Cary lifestyle. See the differences between the EV charging levels below:

• Level 1 Charging: The most accessible type of charging, Level 1 charging involves plugging your Cadillac dual-level charging cord into any household three-pronged outlet. These 120-volt outlets are in nearly every home and business, making it simple to plug in and let your Cadillac charge while you go about your day. That said, Level 1 charging is the slowest at-home method of charging, often taking more than 24 hours to fully charge your LYRIQ.
• Level 2 Charging: Level 2 charging, while requiring professional installation, is one of the simplest ways to keep your Cadillac LYRIQ charged at home. Once a Level 2 charging station is installed in your garage, you can plug your Cadillac LYRIQ in while at home for an efficient charging experience. Level 2 charging is much quicker than Level 1 charging, making a Level 2 charger an easy way to gain some range during your lunch break or fully charge overnight.

Whichever you choose, charging your Cadillac LYRIQ at home is as easy as plugging the Level 2 charging cord in from your dedicated charging station or using the dual-level charging cord that comes with your LYRIQ to plug into your preferred outlet.

How Fast Does an EV Charge at Home?

How fast an EV charges at home depends on the type of charging station used. When you plug in your Cadillac LYRIQ, you can expect these estimated charging times:

• Dual-Level Charge Cord (7.7kW): Up to 21 miles of range per hour of charge.
• Level 2 Charger (11.5kW): Up to 31 miles of range per hour of charge.
• Level 2 Charger (19.2kW): Up to 51 miles of range per hour of charge.
