Questions Oklahoma City drivers ask
How far can a LYRIQ go in a Oklahoma City winter?
About 283 miles on a typical January day (38°F) and about the same in the coldest week of the year (around January 1, 38°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 10% below its 314-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.
How much does it cost to charge a LYRIQ in Oklahoma City?
About $62 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Oklahoma's average home electricity rate of 14.3¢/kWh: about 5.3¢ a mile. An average small SUV on the Midwest's average gas ($4.14 a gallon) costs about $184 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a LYRIQ on a regular 120 V outlet in Oklahoma City?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 48 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 37 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 Oklahoma City's grid?
Yes. Oklahoma City's grid (SPP South) is 14% dirtier than the US average, but a LYRIQ charged on it still makes 57% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
