The Cadillac Lyriq is described as a show car by the company, so many specifics have been ironed out as this vehicle’s journey to production and delivery to customers will soon cease to be a dream. However, the company did use Lyriq’s media debut to reveal additional details of specifications the company is ironing out. In today’s video, we will talk about the battery’s performance, charging stations, and charge durations for both home and public charging stations.
Getting a GM battery is a great deal for your EV, and as an add-on, the Cadillac company backs your new vehicle with its no deductible, bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. The entire vehicle is warranted for repairs, including parts and labor, to correct any defects in materials or workmanship for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first (except routine maintenance). The warranty covers towing to the nearest GM dealership, and there is no deductible for warranty repairs during the warranty period. The warranty transfers automatically with the vehicle's ownership during the warranty period. Apart from this, the company issues a powertrain for a 6-year or 70,000-mile roadside assistance warranty, and a 4-year or 50,000-mile anti-perforation warranty.
The Cadillac company, on no occasion, will willingly give out defective units of batteries to its clients, but now, with the fact that during production, some faults may occur, the company takes full responsibility and will repair or replace the unit. As an add-on, the warranty will also cover any damage that may happen to your vehicle in the event of a battery fire, even if this may be due to the driver's error.
Let me take you back to the early days of electric vehicles. About a decade ago or more, the prediction was that electric vehicles wouldn't be able to last for up to 100,000 miles without the battery going low. This means that owners of this type of vehicle will have to spend thousands on replacing the battery or the vehicle, possibly within a few years. But the Cadillac company is optimistic and, for a debut edition, it is doing great and offers a better experience to its users. Isn't these great friends? I think it is!
The Cadillac Lyriq will be powered by General Motors' next-generation Ultium batteries. Ultium cells are flat pouch-style cells that have been developed in collaboration with LG Chem. They will be manufactured at the former General Motors assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio. Battery sizes ranging from 50.0 to 200 kWh are possible thanks to the scalable technology, although the largest size is said to be reserved only for large electric pickup trucks such as the upcoming GMC Hummer EV SUT (Small Utility Vehicle). According to General Motors, the Lyriq will have a battery pack with a capacity of approximately 100 kilowatt-hours and should be capable of driving distances of more than 300 miles on a single charge. Fast charging with direct current (DC) will be standard, but the Lyriq will also be able to charge from standard household outlets as well. The Lyriq is capable of performing DC fast charging at rates of up to 150 kilowatts. With an NCMA (nickel-cobalt-manganese-aluminum) chemistry, its cells use 70% less cobalt than the batteries currently used in the Chevrolet Bolt EV, resulting in significant carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
