The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq gains a key upgrade for $200 more

This one is about a car, not a home upgrade, but it touches on charging, so here's the gist. The 2027 Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV, is now available to order starting at $61,995, just $200 more than last year. The biggest change is a built-in NACS port, the connector type used by Tesla, which lets drivers plug into Tesla Superchargers without needing an adapter. GM says all its 2027 models across Cadillac, Chevy, and GMC will get this native NACS port.

Beyond the charging port, changes are modest: some new interior paint and material options, and a shuffling of which trims get the Augmented Reality Head-Up Display as standard equipment (now limited to the Lyriq-V and Lyriq-V Premium, rather than also including the Signature Luxury and Luxury Sport trims as before).

On range and charging speed, the base rear-wheel-drive Lyriq uses a 102 kWh battery and gets an EPA-estimated 326 miles per charge. All-wheel-drive versions get up to 319 miles, and the high-performance Lyriq-V gets 285 miles. Charging tops out at 190 kW, which Cadillac says can add about 86 miles of range in 10 minutes. If you're weighing an EV purchase alongside home charging plans, the wider Supercharger access from the built-in NACS port is the detail most likely to matter for how and where you'd charge.
