Cadillac charging cable

Cadillac's European electric range is built on General Motors' Ultium platform, with the Lyriq and Optiq SUVs leading the line-up and the larger Vistiq following. Each uses a Type 2 inlet for AC charging and a CCS2 connector for DC rapid charging, so one Voldt® cable covers the range at home and on public networks. On AC these models charge at up to 11 kW three-phase, so an 11 kW cable is the match for everyday charging.

Cadillac charging specs and cable recommendations

The Cadillac Lyriq and Optiq are fully electric SUVs with an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger in European specification. A Voldt® 11 kW three-phase cable matches that capacity at any compatible wall box or public charge point. A 22 kW cable future-proofs the setup without any day-to-day trade-off. Every Cadillac EV uses a Type 2 inlet, so any Voldt® Type 2 charging cable connects without an adapter.

Getting cable length right

The distance between your charge point and the car's inlet varies more than most people expect, and it changes depending on which direction you pull in, which side of the car the inlet is on, and whether the cable needs to clear a kerb or run along a wall. A 4 m cable works in a contained garage setup where the wall box is installed directly beside the parking space. For standard driveways and carports, 6 m or 8 m covers both inlet positions without pulling taut or leaving large coils on the ground.

At public charge points, the situation is less predictable. Bays fill up, angles vary, and the post is not always where you expect it. An 8 m cable handles most of these scenarios comfortably. If you regularly charge at workplaces or destination chargers with longer cable runs, or share a home charge point between two vehicles, 10 m or 15 m removes the variables entirely.

Cable length Best suited for
4 m Compact garage with wall box directly beside the parking spot
6 m Standard driveway or carport, inlet on either side of the vehicle
8 m Flexible home and public charging, covers most charge point layouts
10 m Larger vehicles, shared parking, or charge points set further from the bay
15 m Remote charge points, multi-vehicle setups, or commercial locations

A portable charger worth keeping in the boot

A Voldt® portable EV charger plugs into a standard Schuko socket for 3.7 kW or a CEE industrial outlet for up to 22 kW three-phase, with no wall box installation required. Rated IP67, it handles outdoor use in all conditions. With the Lyriq and Optiq carrying large batteries, a portable charger earns its place as a travel backup and for topping up at destinations without a fixed charge point.
