How far can a LYRIQ go in a Stockton winter?
About 324 miles on a typical January day (48°F) and about 319 in the coldest week of the year (around December 23, 47°F on average), estimated from real EV drives at those temperatures. That's -3–2% below its 314-mile rating, mostly from heating the cabin and the battery.

About $139 a month at home for 38 miles a day, at California's average home electricity rate of 33.6¢/kWh: about 12.0¢ a mile. An average small SUV on California's average gas ($6.03 a gallon) costs about $268 a month for the same driving.
Can I charge a LYRIQ on a regular 120 V outlet in Stockton?
At 38 miles a day, yes, all year: a 120 V outlet adds about 41 miles in 12 hours even in Stockton's coldest week, and about 47 on an average day.
Is it greener to drive electric on Stockton's grid?
Yes, more than most places. Stockton's grid (WECC California) is 44% cleaner than the US average, so a LYRIQ charged on it makes 80% less CO₂ than an average small SUV.
