2024 CADILLAC LYRIQ FORT WORTH ROAD TRIP - CHARGING TEST

EV Channels Review

The reviewer conducted a road trip test of the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq's DC fast charging capabilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. After experiencing significant charging issues previously, the Lyriq performed well on two consecutive days, suggesting a potential resolution to its charging problems. The reviewer noted that manually preconditioning the battery in advance of charging was crucial for achieving decent speeds, reaching up to 147 kW even when sharing a charger. While the charging speed is described as "tolerable" and "manageable" rather than "phenomenal," it's deemed sufficient for short stops on longer journeys. The reviewer praised the Lyriq's exceptional driving dynamics, comfort, and overall build quality, calling it one of the best driving vehicles they've experienced. However, criticisms remain regarding the outdated mobile app and the charging performance, which, despite improvements, is still a concern for extensive road tripping. The ultimate decision on keeping the Lyriq will depend on its performance during a future cross-country road trip.
