2024 Cadillac LYRIQ in Provo, UT
Winter range, charging cost and how far it goes, worked out for Provo's weather, grid and prices.
In a typical Provo January (33°F), a LYRIQ gets an estimated 264 miles on a charge, 16% less than its 314-mile rating, and about 260 miles in the coldest week of the year (around December 26, when it averages 32°F). By May it's back to about 364. Summer costs range here too: at July's 79°F average (highs near 95°F), air conditioning trims it to about 313 miles. Charging at home at Utah's average rate (13.1¢/kWh) costs about $58 a month for 38 miles a day, about a third of the $199 an average small SUV costs on the Rocky Mountains's gas. And Provo's grid (WECC Northwest), 18% cleaner than the US average, makes it 68% less CO₂ than gas.

Questions Provo drivers ask
How far can a LYRIQ go in a Provo winter?
About 264 miles on a typical January day (33°F) and about 260 in the coldest week of the year (around December 26, 32°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's 16–17% below its 314-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery. Provo averages 21 days a year below freezing.
How much does it cost to charge a LYRIQ in Provo?
About $58 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at Utah's average home electricity rate of 13.1¢/kWh: about 5.0¢ a mile. An average small SUV on the Rocky Mountains's average gas ($4.47 a gallon) costs about $199 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a LYRIQ on a regular 120 V outlet in Provo?
At 38 miles a day, most of the year: a 120 V outlet adds about 46 miles in 12 hours on an average day, but about 34 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 Provo's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Provo's grid (WECC Northwest) is 18% cleaner than the US average, so a LYRIQ charged on it makes 68% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
