Cadillac Optiq AWD charging cost & time
| Scenario | Energy | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public DC 20% → 80% | 51 kWh | 24 minutes | $24.48 |
| Public DC 0% → 100% | 85 kWh | 1 hours 2 minutes | $40.80 |
| At home (AC) 20% → 80% | 51 kWh | 4 hours 26 minutes | $9.18 |
Cadillac Optiq AWD charging time by charger power
How long the Cadillac Optiq AWD takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 38 hours 38 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 12 hours 9 minutes |
| Public AC | 11.5 kW | 0% → 100% | 7 hours 23 minutes |
| DC fast | 150 kW | 10% → 80% | 28 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) models the charging curve tapering as the battery fills, so it is more realistic than a flat estimate. Real DC times still vary with temperature, battery state, and the charger.
Charging speed
The Cadillac Optiq AWD is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 24 minutes (ultra-fast DC).
Estimated. Real DC charging slows as the battery fills, so the time varies by model, temperature, and charger.

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 182 mi of range for $24.48. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $18.97 | -$5.51 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $22.42 | -$2.06 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $27.59 | $3.11 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $32.77 | $8.29 |
| > 2500 cc | $39.67 | $15.19 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular gasoline at $4.46/gal. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
