Choosing the right cable for your Cadillac

Cadillac returned to Britain as an electric brand, and like every American marque selling here it carries a connector difference that trips people up. European cars are fitted with Type 2, not the socket used on the same models in North America.

Connector spec by model

  • Lyriq (2024+ Europe): Type 2 + CCS. 11kW AC. Around 102kWh battery. 190kW DC.
  • Optiq / Vistiq: Type 2 + CCS in Europe as they arrive.

American accessories do not apply

Search results for Cadillac charging are dominated by the US market, where the cars use a different standard and where 240-volt home charging behaves differently from a British 230-volt single-phase supply. None of that transfers. In the UK a Lyriq takes the same lead as any other Type 2 car.

A 102kWh battery on a British supply

At 7.4kW that is around fourteen hours from empty. The Lyriq is firmly an overnight car, and the 32amp single-phase lead is the everyday cable. The 11kW onboard charger only becomes relevant on three-phase power, which very few homes have.

Long car, awkward reach

The Lyriq is over five metres long. A wallbox positioned for a hatchback can end up a surprising distance from the charge port, and a cable at full stretch is one that gets dragged over bodywork. Buy longer than the measurement suggests.

Length recommendations

10m as a minimum, 15m if the wallbox is not beside the parking space. Compare across our Type 2 charging cables.

What we stock for Cadillac

Questions

What cable does a UK Cadillac Lyriq need?
A Type 2 lead. European Cadillacs use the standard Type 2 socket, so a Type 2 to Type 2 cable is correct.
Can I use a cable bought in America?
No. North American cars use a different connector, and US charging advice does not transfer to a UK car.
How long does a Lyriq take to charge?
Around fourteen hours from empty at 7.4kW on a single-phase home supply, for the 102kWh battery.
Is the three-phase cable worth buying?
Only if your property has three-phase power. The onboard charger caps at 11kW, so that is the most the car could draw.
What length should I choose?
10m minimum. The Lyriq is over five metres long and a wallbox placed for a smaller car can end up well away from the charge port.
