Charge speeds
Across the Cadillac range.
Every Cadillac here uses a Type 2 inlet, so one Type 2 to Type 2 cable fits the range. AC charging tops out at 11kW across the range. A cable never charges faster than your car's on-board charger or your home supply allows, so on a standard single-phase UK home a 7.4 kW cable gives the full speed available.
Speeds are on-board AC limits. Rapid DC uses the station's own cable.
Charging guide
Charging
your Cadillac.
Cadillac's UK electric line-up currently comprises two BEV models: the Lyriq and the Optiq. Both use a Type 2 inlet, so they take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging.
What changes between models is how fast each one charges on AC, which is what decides whether a 7.4kW cable or a larger one is worth buying. Pick your model below for its exact charging times and recommended cable, or read the brand-wide guidance underneath.
What charging cable does a Cadillac need?
Both Cadillac EVs, the Lyriq and Optiq, charge through a Type 2 inlet, so the lead you need is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable. A 5m length suits most driveways and wallboxes; go for 7m or 10m for on-street parking or a charge point that sits well away from where you park.
Both the Lyriq and Optiq have an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. Almost all UK homes are single-phase, which caps home charging at 7.4kW regardless of the cable, so for most owners a 7.4kW cable delivers the full speed available at home. A 22kW rated cable is only worth the extra cost if you have a three-phase supply or regularly use 22kW public AC charge points, where both cars will pull their full 11kW.
In short, a single 5m 7.4kW Type 2 cable suits both Cadillac models currently on sale in the UK, and there is no reason to spend more on a larger cable unless you have access to a three-phase supply.

Contact usDo all Cadillac EVs use a Type 2 charging cable?+−
Yes. Both Cadillac models sold in the UK, the Lyriq and the Optiq, use a Type 2 inlet. They take the same Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging, and no Cadillac EV needs a Type 1 cable.
What charging cable does a Cadillac Lyriq need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, 5m for most driveways. The Lyriq has an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, but on a standard single-phase UK home it charges at 7.4kW. A 7.4kW cable gives the full speed your home supply can provide. A 22kW cable is only useful if you have a three-phase supply or use 22kW public AC charge points regularly.
What cable does a Cadillac Optiq need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. The Optiq also has an 11kW three-phase onboard charger, so the same advice applies: a 7.4kW cable is the right choice for most UK homes. A 22kW cable only adds speed on a three-phase supply or 22kW public AC charge point.
Can a Cadillac charge at 22kW?+−
No Cadillac model reaches 22kW on AC. Both the Lyriq and Optiq top out at 11kW on three phases. On a standard single-phase UK home both cars charge at 7.4kW, so a 22kW cable delivers no additional benefit on a home supply.
What length cable do I need for my Cadillac?+−
5m suits most home wallboxes and public charge points. Step up to 7m or 10m if you park on the street, share a charger, or your wallbox is positioned far from the car's charging port. Buy the shortest length that reaches comfortably, as longer cables cost more and are heavier to coil.
