Your EV Questions, Answered

How much does it cost to charge an electric car? 

The cost to charge an electric car can vary based on electricity prices in your area and the size of the car’s battery. Here in New York, the average cost of electricity is about $0.22 per kWh, which means that fully charging the 102-kWh battery used in the new Cadillac LYRIQ EV would cost about $22.

This is significantly lower than refueling a completely empty gas tank on a typical combustion-powered car, which could cost anywhere from $40-$60 or even more at today's gas prices.

How far can an electric car go on a full charge? 

Modern electric cars can generally travel 200-300 miles on a single charge. Some models, such as the Cadillac LYRIQ, even exceed that range -- the rear-wheel drive LYRIQ range is an impressive 314 miles. Of course, it's important to note that real-world range can be influenced by driving habits, weather conditions and other factors.

How long does it take to charge an electric car at home?

The charging time for an electric vehicle is largely dependent on the type of charger used and the vehicle’s battery capacity. Most electric cars can be fully charged overnight using a 240-volt Level 2 charging station. For even faster charging, try a Level 3 charging station near Ossining, which can replenish impressive range figures in under an hour -- perfect for when you decide to take an EV road trip across New York and beyond.

How long does an electric car last before recharging?

The longevity of a single charge in an electric car can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the car's battery size, driving conditions, weather and driving style. On average, most new electric cars for sale in New York will need to be recharged after 200 to 300 miles of driving.
