Questions Little Rock drivers ask
How far can a LYRIQ go in a Little Rock winter?
About 292 miles on a typical January day (41°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 7, 40°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 7% below its 314-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a LYRIQ in Little Rock?
About $61 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Arkansas's average home electricity rate of 14.3¢/kWh: about 5.3¢ a mile. An average small SUV on the Gulf Coast's average gas ($3.78 a gallon) costs about $168 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a LYRIQ on a regular 120 V outlet in Little Rock?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 47 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 38 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 Little Rock's grid?
Yes. Little Rock's grid (SERC Mississippi Valley) is about the US average, and a LYRIQ charged on it makes 64% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
