Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need the available 19.2 kW Level 2 option, or is standard 11.5 kW enough?

For many drivers, standard 11.5 kW Level 2 is sufficient—adding up to 34 miles per hour of charge often replenishes a full day’s driving overnight. If you consistently drive long distances or want to minimize charging time windows, the available 19.2 kW setup can be a smart upgrade, adding up to 56 miles per hour of charge with the GM Energy PowerShift wall charger.

Can I use Tesla Superchargers if I mostly charge at home?

Yes. OPTIQ’s NACS port and a GM-approved adapter allow access to Tesla Superchargers. Through the myCadillac app, you can locate and initiate sessions at more than 23,500 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada. Home charging covers most needs, while the public network adds flexibility for long trips and busy days.

What if my home’s electrical panel needs an upgrade?

A licensed electrician can evaluate your home for 11.5 kW or 19.2 kW service. Many homes can support 11.5 kW with a dedicated 240V circuit. If you want the 19.2 kW capability, your electrician can recommend panel or service upgrades as needed to ensure performance and safety. Our team can also share local installer recommendations to streamline your setup.
