Tom, just bought a '24 Lyriq today.. You, sir, are a gem. If you haven't already, you need to license this presentation and sell it to Cadillac. Every Lyriq owner should see this! Thank You.
Bruh, get a better camera , set to 4k60, I mean I think even an iPhone will record batter than this in low light, just go with a Sony 7c II , a video this good deserves better video
I have owned 2 Chevy Bolts. They were phenomenal cars. I got hit hard in the first one at 106,000 miles and it saved my life. The second one had 163,000 miles when I traded it in for a Lyriq. Both cars never saw a dealer after the initial purchase. They just need tires. My hope is the Lyriq follows this amazing trend but it is infinitely more complicated. Still, GM builds amazing EV's and they are highly underrated. This video is the best charging video I have seen. After 7 years of EV driving, I couldn't have said it any better!
My Brother just purchased his first EV. A Cadillac Lyriq. Thanks Tom. I sent him this video. After I had already explained it to him. This is a Great Learning Resource.
I'm about to get my 2024 Lyriq next week...this is my first EV and I'm not super knowledgeable about all the charging stuff. This is EXACTLY the video I needed to understand what I'm getting myself into 😅 thanks so much for making what seems so complex so much easier for people like me to understand.
Great video, Tom. A point that I like to drive home with people is or relates to cost. You pay kilo watt hours on your meter and a watt is a watt, no matter what is pushing it as voltage. Your watts can be delivered to your battery from 110 V Are the same cost as the watt that is delivered by 240 V. It’s just the rate of which those watts are delivered in simplified terms. If your Lyriq would need 20 kWh to receive a full charge on a level two charger, it will be the same amount of cost delivering those same 20 kWh on the level one charger. The only difference is the time factor.
LOL! Your voice on the video triggered my Google Home device to start spitting out the list of nearby DC Fast Chargers . . . while I am sitting at my computer in my office.
Fantastic video, as usual. Mr. Moloughney produces the most scientific content of all the EV RUclipsrs and it always worth your time. This video is a good example (especially his comments about having an EV-expert electrician install your home EVSE). Along those same lines, I would take argument with one of his comments about setting level 1 charging to 12 amps instead of the default 8 amps. In my opinion, the only time a 12 amp setting should be used is if the circuit it is on has a 20 amp breaker and there is nothing else on the same line (a rare circumstance, especially in a garage or outdoor plug). It is important to not intentionally load circuits to their max, that is why an EV-expert electrician would install a 48 amp level 2 charger only if the supply circuit breaker and wiring were 60 amp rated AND there was nothing else on the circuit. As Mr. Moloughney said later in the video, EVSEs are unlike anything else in your home in that they pull the full power for the duration of the charge. So, imagine the car was set to pull 12 amps on a 15 amp circuit...Not only would that exceed the safety margin that is supposed to be used for household circuits, but tripping the breaker would be common if anything else were plugged in to that circuit. It is likely that many garages that were not designed for EVs have only one breaker supplying the whole area. Therefore, a car pulling 12 amps on a 15 amp circuit will blow the breaker when someone activates the power garage door opener or the spare refrigerator turns the compressor on or maybe even if the lights are turned on. It is just bad practice to set your level 2 charger up for anything other than 8 amps, especially when traveling and the user has no idea what the electric circuits can handle in the place they are staying. Quite frankly I am surprised that Cadillac even has this option available. Just my 2-cents. All the best.
I would’ve gladly taken cash instead of the free charging from EA for my 2023, IONIQ 5. But I’m more happy with my purchase clocking in a 0% to 70% and 17 minutes and topping out at 82% from 0% after only 22 minutes. I can fully charge my vehicle in 47 minutes from 0% to 100% but I’ll never do that publicly. It’s not very kind to those who are waiting for your last 18% and if you can’t find a charger closer than the range you can get with 82% of your battery then you need to get another app to start searching in a different way or start carrying destination adapters. 🤷🏻 Nicely done Tom💯 36:17
Great that you think of others! And you can always return for a faster top up at a lower state of charge. I do the same on road trips a bit more often charging than fewer and longer charging stops.
That doesn't seem possible. 0 to 17% in 17m is faster than the 800v architecture cars. I imagine the Lyriq in reality and perfect conditions would do that in maybe 30-40m
If you want to see that charge curve for yourself it only takes five minutes. It was my first attempt. So much for the stars being aligned. 😉 ruclips.net/video/9PP8oq-YH-4/видео.htmlsi=n41ZZoq8aXysf6zK
Another very informative video. I enjoy all you videos. I am on the waiting list for a Lyriq, so this video was most interesting. I hope that software update does improve the charging timeline.
Thanks Tom for an excellent and informative video specifically for Cadillac Lyriq. I really enjoy and learn somethings new about the DC public charging. Hope to see you doing another video soon after Cadillac releases OTA update to increase the speed of charging.
Yup, Tom is the bomb … EV charging guru! I’m an electrical engineer and I learned a lot 😂 Best part is I’m going to force my wife to watch his video … her EV/range anxiety may finally be put to rest. 😅
Excellent information especially given that this is a moving technological target with plug designs, available apps, and vehicle features. No glib talking nor attempts at being cute, just information that's important to prospective Lyriq owners. Thanks!
Thanks Tom, very useful. I purchased a 2024 Lyriq two months ago and love it. I'm now planning my first road trip and find your video is extremely helpful.
We have an XT4 at the moment and are going to look at the Lyric. We found this very helpful & we thank you Sir for taking the time to make this segment very informative and helpful, Sincerely Tita & Mick
Something else to consider before deciding between 2 free years of using EVgo, or the $1500 credit towards your Level 2 Charger installation is to make sure Q-Merit services your area. When I inquired about Q-Merit performing my EV installation, I was told they did not service my area.
Another thing to consider… make sure there are EVgo chargers near you lol. I did not and fortunately there are 2 near my office (30miles away). I live in a major city too. Plenty of chargepoint chargers everywhere, very few EVgo chargers.
Excellent video, New to EV and your video was very helpful and informative. My dealer didn't or couldn't explain the charging differences that you made perfectly clear. Thanks
Great video and information for new Lyriq owners. In case anyone needs to know the $1,500 credit for installation of a home charger does not include the actual charging equipment which the owner has to purchase separately. Some my Lyriq has the 19.2KW charging module I need an 80 amp level 2 charger. The Optium model GM sells is $1,299 which you have to pay yourself. The good news is that the $1,500 credit pays for the installation.
@sportpilottrainings49 Just bought my 24 Lyriq this weekend. Is that $1500 sent to us? Or how does that work? Which brand do you recommend buying besides OEM?
@@richardsierra432 The credit was sent directly to the installer in my case who worked with my local dealership on the install. I went with the GM model just because I was unfamiliar with other brands. Everything has been working just fine.
Not only is it not standard on the 2024 Lyriqs, you'll also require 100 A service and the Ultium EVSE or equivalent. So add in $1299 for the EVSE and what ever it will cost to install 100A service for it. I'm not aware of any L2 commercial charging stations that offer more than 7kW.
Tom, they did give me the the 1500, but it cost me $3,000 for the installation and additional $450 to $500 for the Emporia Energy and they installed that as well. Im glade that i got it installed. I had to run it from the back to the front of the house, but it work out fine. Thanks for the update on charging, I find out that when i used Electric it was costly anf it would cost up to $30 dollars with supper charger after 20m.
I have a Luxury 3 AWD Lyriq. You simply plug it in. I have a LECTRON V-box step 2 home charger rigged for 40AMP instead of 48 AMP and it takes about 7 hours to bring the car to 100% from near empty.
Tom, great informative video. I remember when you made a test drive video of this car. I guess you were impressed enough to buy one? I currently have a Tesla MYLR, purchased in 2/26/21. I am considering switching to the Lyric or maybe even the upcoming Optic sometime in 2024. I had an XT5 before switching to the Tesla. I've had good luck with it. But I am ready for a bit more luxury. Thanks for making great videos.
What a great video! I’m a potential buyer of the new Acura ZDX which shares the same platform with Lyriq. I’m here to get educated and I got what I wanted. Thank you!
Thanks for great video on charging the Lyriq. One weakness of Mercedes vs Lyriq is only 9.6kW AC level 2 charging. Also, the lousy MB charger that is supplied with this expensive EV only does level 1. It doesn’t have replaceable plugs like GM and Tesla.
You could also just buy a Tesla mobile connector and use it for the Lyric. Then you can buy all the adapters you’d like. You’ll of course have to have a J1772 adapter but it will work great.
@@justinstewart3248 Yes, but I have to buy something extra. When spending $133K for a EQS 580 shouldn’t MB give the buyer an upgradeable mobile charger for the big 108 kW battery? Their model has a fixed 120 V plug.
Tom like you I have been driving electric since 2011 nissan leaf, and 2013 s85. If you charge at home speed of charge is 100% a non issue. Road trips sure, but with modern evs its not a big deal, period. I now have graduated to 22 plaid, 23 m3p, and 22 ev6 gt our family drives more than avg and charging is not an issue, its cleaner than gas station, safer and way more convenient than gas, like dinosaurs ice passenger vehicles will be the past.
I bought a Tesla Tap Mini after watching the video how to charge the ID4. I charge for service to my country. I did 6 years in the Army before being medically discharged while overseas.
Great video explaining all about charging just got my lyriq for Christmas and my birthday gift wanted a model 3 Tesla but Cadillac got me a better deal and was able to get me out of my 1 year lease im done with gas cars done with oil changes loving my lyriq what a great fun car to drive, now researching to see whats the best charger to get for home charging im thinking getting a Tesla charger im sure ill be getting a Tesla also at some point so its probably the best charger to buy right now.⚡️👌
Tom, when you schedule or delay a charge inside the vehicle and then you plugged the car in. Is that little light underneath the rearview mirror on the dashboard? Is that supposed to blink red?
Love your videos, I geek out! I have a 2024 AWD Lyriq Sport. You mentioned an upgrade that was coming for '23. Does the 24 have that upgraded capability. Will you do a video on 24? Hope so - Thanks!
I’m buying a LYRIQ this month and narrowed down to two available cars in my area, one has the 11.5Kw charger and the other has the 19.2Kw charger. I will be dependent mostly on a DC charger a block from our apartment because we don’t have the ability to add a Level 2 charger at home or work. Will the onboard charger starting (11.5 vs 19.2) make any difference with DC fast charging and is it worth paying extra money for in my situation?
Thanks Tom😊. Anticipating my luxury trim Lyriq sometime this year.... But wouldn't be upset if it landed next year with the new NACS pre-installed options🎉
I recently bought a 2024 Lyriq and usually recharge at home using the GM charger that came with the vehicle. What I'd like to know is where can I find the amount of "charge" - in kwh's (NOT miles!) added to my car's battery when I charge up? I haven't been able to find this info anywhere in my vehicle nor in the mycadillac app. Note that I have charged up at public stations and can see that amount of kWh's transferred to my car's battery when I've completed charging. Can you tell me where to find this info when I charge at home using the GM charger?
Why don't scheduled charge settings have an optional Do Not start before setting. MY time of use rate starts at Midnight. I do understand that a Full charge by the target time may not be possible. Another point. Some utilities have a demand (how many KW peak) rate (mostly commercial users) charged. So just using the Fastest setting without a good reason, should be avoided. (Same as using the fastest DC charger when your vehicle can't accept that rate (due to SOC or temps)
From what I understand, Cadillac has now back-pedaled on being fully electric by 2030, probably realizing they’d be cutting their own throats by doing that, since a lot of us have no desire to ever go electric.
Tom, I understand that the Lyric and other GM EV’s will be capable of bidirectional charging. Do you have any information on that product? Availability or estimated cost of the VTH equipment? Thanks, very helpful beginner video.
Interesting. I hadn't heard this yet. Just googled it and it says model year 2026 vehicles with the Ultium-based battery. I guess if it becomes popular a lot of EVs will have it later
All you need is a licensed electrician to do it right. I have a 40 AMP circuit breaker addition, the proper gauge wire and professional install. It cost me $1200. My Lectron Charger was given to me to promote for FREE. Saved me $1000 in equipment.
Aloha. Great video. Could you explain what app non Tesla EV will need to use and pay on Supercharger network? Will it be a (clunky?) ICE OEM app, different for each OEM? Or will ICE Legacy EV be able to seamlessly use the Tesla app?
Ford now is able to use certain Tesla superchargers today and the number of Superchargers available to them will keep expanding. They received an over the air update to allow the communication with the Superchargers and I believe other manufacturers will do similar.
I've been using a regular extension cord to charge since day 1. It doesn't add very much time unless the cord is super duper long like 100 ft or something because then the voltage goes down slightly. We currently charge on the driveway and leave the EVSE just inside the garage door and the cord goes right under the rubber part without a problem for our situation, this is better because the EVSE is inside and the part that could be damaged is cheaper 😂 The main thing you have to look at is you can only use a maximum of 80% of the max load for the cord.
I have a dedicated 40 amp 240V line in my garage already specifically for EV charging... Would I be better off opting for the network charging when I purchase my Lyric?
Qmerit's contractor said my panel was overloaded and it was going to cost additional $2k - $7k to add load shed or upgrade meter. I had a 2nd and 3rd opinion from electrician's I chose, and they both said it's not overloaded
Hi I recently purchased 2024 lyric I am trying to install a 240 v outlet what breaker should I be using i plan to use the lv2 charger that came with the vehicle
I wish I found you 6 months ago when we purchased our 2024 model. We opted for the $1500 credit and it has been great. I do notice the charge is frequently interrupted some nights. What do you think is the cause of that? We tried many troubleshooting options with Qmerit and the Cadillac dealership but it'll randomly happen.
HI TOM, THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE--good job! May I suggest a further instructional video going over all of the intricacies that the Lyriq has for everything on the dash board--from opening the glove box to pulling up Google and non-google MAPS
I ordered a Lyriq AWD Sport 3. I preordered it in MAY 2022. My order was cancelled and bumped to 2023. It is December 2023 and I am still waiting. I should have it soon 😢.
Does the Gm charger have power sharing like Tesla chargers do? I have to Tesla chargers at my house now and when picked up my Lyriq's they had level 2 chargers with the cars. I thinking about changing my Tesla out for the gm's ones. How ever I need power sharing. Help pleaser.

I bought one today too. The lease deal was insane. Couldn’t pass it up
How much does it cost to full charge it ?
Just got mine today and this was so informative! Thank you so much. Saving this video.
Completely agree. Love my Lryiq. Looking forward to seeing the EV Escalade.
I have a 2023 and feel like Tom made this just for me. Thanks!
I love to hear that!

Thanks Tom. I shared this with one of my friends who has a Lyriq on order. He said it was great, now all he needs is to actually get his Lyriq!!
I have owned 2 Chevy Bolts. They were phenomenal cars. I got hit hard in the first one at 106,000 miles and it saved my life. The second one had 163,000 miles when I traded it in for a Lyriq.

I might be trading in my Volt 2019...
I’m getting a 2024 and this will be my first electric vehicle. I must say this video was amazing I really learned a lot thank you 👍👍

I was planning to buy a LYRIQ and I was looking for exactly this information.
One note- the 19.2kw module is optional on Luxury and Sport trims, not standard.
I just bought a Lyriq and learned a lot on your channel. Thank you.
Will you do a test on the Ultium PowerUp charger?
Lyriq just launched in Australia. Around $120k AUD for pricing with two trim levels. Has 22kW AC charging as well as the 190kW DC charging.
Keep up the good work!
Since this was created one year ago, do you have any updated version of this presentation?

Thanks for the education on the plugs 🔌🔌🔌
Love your videos, I geek out! I have a 2024 AWD Lyriq Sport. You mentioned an upgrade that was coming for '23. Does the 24 have that upgraded capability. Will you do a video on 24? Hope so - Thanks!
I’m buying a LYRIQ this month and narrowed down to two available cars in my area, one has the 11.5Kw charger and the other has the 19.2Kw charger. I will be dependent mostly on a DC charger a block from our apartment because we don’t have the ability to add a Level 2 charger at home or work. Will the onboard charger starting (11.5 vs 19.2) make any difference with DC fast charging and is it worth paying extra money for in my situation?
Thanks Tom😊. Anticipating my luxury trim Lyriq sometime this year.... But wouldn't be upset if it landed next year with the new NACS pre-installed options🎉
Very helpful. Thank you for the video.
I recently bought a 2024 Lyriq and usually recharge at home using the GM charger that came with the vehicle. What I'd like to know is where can I find the amount of "charge" - in kwh's (NOT miles!) added to my car's battery when I charge up? I haven't been able to find this info anywhere in my vehicle nor in the mycadillac app. Note that I have charged up at public stations and can see that amount of kWh's transferred to my car's battery when I've completed charging. Can you tell me where to find this info when I charge at home using the GM charger?
Good job Tom! BTW there is also EV tax credits to install at your house too
Why don't scheduled charge settings have an optional Do Not start before setting. MY time of use rate starts at Midnight. I do understand that a Full charge by the target time may not be possible.
Another point. Some utilities have a demand (how many KW peak) rate (mostly commercial users) charged. So just using the Fastest setting without a good reason, should be avoided. (Same as using the fastest DC charger when your vehicle can't accept that rate (due to SOC or temps)
From what I understand, Cadillac has now back-pedaled on being fully electric by 2030, probably realizing they’d be cutting their own throats by doing that, since a lot of us have no desire to ever go electric.
Another great video!
Tom, I understand that the Lyric and other GM EV’s will be capable of bidirectional charging. Do you have any information on that product? Availability or estimated cost of the VTH equipment? Thanks, very helpful beginner video.
Interesting. I hadn't heard this yet.
Just googled it and it says model year 2026 vehicles with the Ultium-based battery.
I guess if it becomes popular a lot of EVs will have it later
@@ralanham76 All Ultium Vehicles will have it by 2026 but starting 2024 MY it will start to be added.
PROPS to GM for offering the $1500 credit to install home charging!! Home Level 2 charging makes own/using an EV a LOT EASIER!!
@@imtheonevanhalen1557get a professional. You don’t want your home to burn down
@@imtheonevanhalen1557 My house has an over 80 foot run from the panel to the garage...
I am getting a 2024 Chevy blazer RS can you please show me how the power works with the home set up just like you did with the lyric
Great video - thank you!
All you need is a licensed electrician to do it right. I have a 40 AMP circuit breaker addition, the proper gauge wire and professional install. It cost me $1200.
My Lectron Charger was given to me to promote for FREE. Saved me $1000 in equipment.
Great review Tom
Thank you for the video. Will you talk about the hard wired charger for the Lyriq and how many miles/hr it should charge at?
20:40 well the good news is for all the power limited superchargers, it wont change how fast the lyric goes!
I feel like having more medium speed plugs is more useful than having a few really fast ones
I'm starting to see Lyriq in my area north of Dallas TX. I have to say they look better in real life than in photos and video.
Aloha. Great video.
Could you explain what app non Tesla EV will need to use and pay on Supercharger network?
Will it be a (clunky?) ICE OEM app, different for each OEM?
Or will ICE Legacy EV be able to seamlessly use the Tesla app?
For GM it will be both. I do think you will be able to enable Plug and Charge though.
Ford now is able to use certain Tesla superchargers today and the number of Superchargers available to them will keep expanding. They received an over the air update to allow the communication with the Superchargers and I believe other manufacturers will do similar.
Thank you Sir, for taking the time to present on this. Great video with very useful information. Well done!!!
Hi Tom. I would like to know if is possible to use an extension cord like Lectron J1772 and how this can affect the battery or charging times. Thanks.
You can use an extender if you need a longer cord. It won’t have any meaningful impact on anything.
I've been using a regular extension cord to charge since day 1. It doesn't add very much time unless the cord is super duper long like 100 ft or something because then the voltage goes down slightly.
We currently charge on the driveway and leave the EVSE just inside the garage door and the cord goes right under the rubber part without a problem for our situation, this is better because the EVSE is inside and the part that could be damaged is cheaper 😂
The main thing you have to look at is you can only use a maximum of 80% of the max load for the cord.
I use an appliance cord to extend my EVSE further from an outlet when traveling. No problems and it’s cheaper than extending the J1772 end.
I thought charge later was when the vehicle would start charging... its opposite? The time selection is when it will be done?
I can’t believe I can plug it into a standard socket lol, had no idea you could do this.
When do you think we can receive the adapter to charge the Lyrics on Tesla supercharger networks? 😅
Hey Tom,
Great video! I have a home charger and wonder how do I or can I set up a time for charging to begin? Example starting at 9pm
Which adapter do you recommend I can add to my Tesla home charger to use on my 2024 Lyriq ?
Hello! Great video!thanks! I have 600v 3 phase available
Could I install fast charging, and how to go about it
First thing you do is transfer $50,000 into your checking account for the deposit on a DC fast charger.
Tom,
I am considering a Lyric and wondering what the cost breakdown would be for home charging.
I have a dedicated 40 amp 240V line in my garage already specifically for EV charging... Would I be better off opting for the network charging when I purchase my Lyric?
Qmerit's contractor said my panel was overloaded and it was going to cost additional $2k - $7k to add load shed or upgrade meter. I had a 2nd and 3rd opinion from electrician's I chose, and they both said it's not overloaded
Hi I recently purchased 2024 lyric I am trying to install a 240 v outlet what breaker should I be using i plan to use the lv2 charger that came with the vehicle
Tom, the EVGo 50 kW stations around me limit charging sessions to one hour.
I wish I found you 6 months ago when we purchased our 2024 model. We opted for the $1500 credit and it has been great. I do notice the charge is frequently interrupted some nights. What do you think is the cause of that? We tried many troubleshooting options with Qmerit and the Cadillac dealership but it'll randomly happen.
What's with the automatic charge door but then the funky little plug thingy?
HI TOM, THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE--good job! May I suggest a further instructional video going over all of the intricacies that the Lyriq has for everything on the dash board--from opening the glove box to pulling up Google and non-google MAPS
Is nice job Tom. I'm a little surprised they don't offer electrify America.
GM doesn't seem to have a great relationship with EA.
@@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney great idea
I ordered a Lyriq AWD Sport 3.
I preordered it in MAY 2022.
My order was cancelled and bumped to 2023.
It is December 2023 and I am still waiting.
I should have it soon 😢.
Always blown away how unsmooth that port opening is.
Great video ! Just what I was looking for ! How much would it cost to charge a LYRIQ?
Does the Gm charger have power sharing like Tesla chargers do? I have to Tesla chargers at my house now and when picked up my Lyriq's they had level 2 chargers with the cars. I thinking about changing my Tesla out for the gm's ones. How ever I need power sharing. Help pleaser.
The good thing is NACS magic dock is growing . There’s one between Ft. Worth and Dallas.
