Best EV Chargers for the Cadillac LYRIQ

With the top-rated Autel MaxiCharger delivering 12 kW, a Cadillac LYRIQ charges from 20% to 80% in about 4.9 hours and from 0% to 100% in approximately 8.2 hours. That adds roughly 37 miles of range per hour. Overnight (8 hours), you can recover up to 295 miles of range.

The Cadillac LYRIQ uses the NACS (North American Charging Standard) connector for both AC and DC charging. Most J1772 chargers work with an inexpensive J1772-to-NACS adapter, which is included with many Tesla vehicles or available aftermarket for around $15.

The Emporia Smart Charger at $449 offers strong value with a compatibility score of 65/100. It delivers 11.5 kW effective power to the LYRIQ, adding about 35 miles of range per hour.

Yes. The Cadillac LYRIQ uses NACS, but a simple J1772-to-NACS adapter lets you use any J1772 charger at full Level 2 speed. Many Tesla vehicles include this adapter. Aftermarket adapters cost around $15 and do not reduce charging speed.

The LYRIQ has a 19.2 kW / 80A onboard charger. For maximum charging speed, install a charger on a 100A dedicated circuit (the NEC 80% rule requires the breaker to be 125% of the continuous load). A 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A breaker works for most EVs.
