GM is looking to make it easier for 2023 Cadillac Lyriq owners to keep their vehicle charged up.
All buyers of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq, including those who purchased the Lyriq Debut Editon, will be entitled to receive either two years of unlimited public charging at EVgo charging stations, or a $1,500 credit toward the installation of a Level 2 home charging outlet through GM’s partner QMerit.
Customers who choose the two years of unlimited public charging will be able to enjoy complimentary charging while they are on the go from EVgo-branded charging stations only. Those who opt for the $1,500 credit, meanwhile, will be able to use the money toward the installation of a 240-volt charging system in their home from QMerit only.
GM has a similar offer for Chevy Bolt EUV and Bolt EV customers in Canada, offering free at-home installation of a 240-volt outlet through Qmerit or a $750 credit toward Flo public charging stations. The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq offer is a bit more generous, though, thanks to the available two years of free unlimited charging.
Pricing for the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury RWD trim starts at $62,900, while pricing the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury AWD trim will start at $64,900. Both figures include the destination freight charge (DFC). The 2023 Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edtion, which is now sold out, began rolling off the line at GM’s Spring Hill plant in Tennessee in late March, with initial deliveries of this version of the battery-electric luxury crossover set to begin this summer.
Power in the Cadillac Lyriq Debut Edition comes from a single motor Ultium Drive powertrain rated at 340 horsepower and 324 pound-feet of torque, along with a 12-module, 100.4 kWh Ultium battery pack providing an EPA-estimated 312 miles of driving range on a full charge. GM has yet to provide official specs for the aforementioned Lyriq Luxury AWD, with the automaker only saying this model “adds a second drive unit, placed at the front of the vehicle to enhance vehicle dynamics and performance even further for drivers.”

As an inside subscriber to the Cadillac Lyriq news, I received the link to order by reservation online today. But GM does not recognize any Cadillac dealer in Puerto Rico so I could not put my $100 down. Tomorrow the link will be open for everyone else.
You have to pick between home charger installation or free super charging? Why does this feel like Let’s Make a Deal? Hmm….based on some VERY rough estimates, I’d say the $1,500 credit on the home charger is a better deal if QMerit can be trusted. Otherwise go with the free supercharging.
You get too pick depending on where you live. If you are at home the charger. If you have an apartment and no place for a charger the free charging.
Lmao free? No such thing, you are really saying the tax payer will pay for it so these clowns can claim they are saving the planet.
That is an argument for the global leaders not GM. GM is just trying to find a path to survive in the future in a global environment.
You can vote out those here but the others. well.
You should be more upset with those who voted in those supporting the globalization. You can confront them and they will call you a racist. That is the universal answer to all out issues according to them.
Definitely right about that.
Free DC fast charging is bad for all EV drivers, including the ones getting the free charging. The charging network is struggling to keep up with demand, and now new owners are incentivized to clog the chargers because they are free instead of charging at home. The vast majority will not exploit this, but it only takes a few to make a bad situation.
I say it is bad for the people getting the free charging because a) always fast charging is bad for the longevity of your batteries, so if you plan to use this exclusively you will experience reduced range over the life of the car, and b) one can assume at some point you too will be taking a trip and want to fast charge, and the free charging offered by GM and many other automakers is going to make it much more difficult to find an available charger.
I think the better option would be to offer a charging credit of say 1000 kWh. That gives you the “free” charging when you need it, but doesn’t incentivize you to clog up the chargers when you don’t NEED to use them. Also EVgo is a much more limited network than Electrify America, so chances of finding one of these chargers when you need it will be pretty slim.
Are you related to Kamala?
The email I received from Cadillac stated a choice of 1 year free charging or 100,000 Cadillac points. I would rather have the $1500 charge station reimbursement option.
GM puts out so much confusing information. Is there anyone that has a straight answer?
