2024 Cadillac LYRIQ in Bridgeport, CT
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Bridgeport's weather, grid and prices.
In a typical Bridgeport January (31°F), a LYRIQ gets an estimated 260 miles on a charge, 17% less than its 314-mile rating, and about 257 miles in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, when it averages 31°F). By May it's back to about 370. Power is pricey in Connecticut (24.2¢/kWh), so charging at home costs about $107 a month for 38 miles a day, still less than the $189 an average small SUV costs on New England's gas. And Bridgeport's grid (NPCC New England), 30% cleaner than the US average, makes it 73% less CO₂ than gas.

Questions Bridgeport drivers ask
How far can a LYRIQ go in a Bridgeport winter?
About 260 miles on a typical January day (31°F) and about 257 in the coldest week of the year (around January 19, 31°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 17–18% below its 314-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Bridgeport averages 32 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a LYRIQ in Bridgeport?
About $107 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Connecticut's average home electricity rate of 24.2¢/kWh: about 9.3¢ a mile. An average small SUV on New England's average gas ($4.25 a gallon) costs about $189 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a LYRIQ on a regular 120 V outlet in Bridgeport?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 45 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 33 in the coldest week, so it can fall a little behind then. A 240 V outlet fills it from 10% in about 6 hours.
Is it greener to drive electric on Bridgeport's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Bridgeport's grid (NPCC New England) is 30% cleaner than the US average, so a LYRIQ charged on it makes 73% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
