If your Cadillac runs out of charge, you will need to arrange for roadside assistance to transport your vehicle to the nearest charging station. Cadillac offers roadside assistance services to help in these situations. It's always a good idea to plan your trips and monitor your charge levels to avoid running out, and public charging stations are widely available for quick top-ups.

For Australian customers, Cadillac has partnered with Chargefox, the largest charging platform in the country. You can find locations in the Chargefox app, which will be shown to you upon delivery of your Cadillac.

For New Zealand customers, Cadillac has partnered with ChargeNet.

There are also many other public charging providers whose networks can be utilised across both countries.

The cost of charging your Cadillac will depend on the charging provider and whether you're charging at home or using public charging stations. On average, charging at home using off-peak electricity rates is more cost-effective than public charging. For public charging, costs vary depending on the network, with some stations offering free charging and others charging per kWh or time used.

Charging your Cadillac at home is simple. You can use the included portable charge cord from day one, or a wall connector for faster charging. Simply plug the vehicle into the wall connector, and it will charge overnight or during off-peak hours using the charging settings in the vehicle.

The Cadillac comes standard with a portable charge cord that can be used with a standard household outlet (240V) for slower charging or with a dedicated home wall connector for faster charging.

All Cadillac’s are equipped with a Type 2 charging port, which is compatible with most public charging stations in Australia and New Zealand. In most cases, you will not need an adapter. However, if you plan to use a different type of charging station, we recommend to verify compatibility or consult your local service centre for guidance on adapters.

Charging the battery slowly results in lower battery activity which may prolong the life of the battery. Cadillac Evs come with software designed to charge the vehicle at optimal rates depending on the output of a connected charger.

Charging can be conveniently done overnight at home using a wall connector or at public charging stations when needed.
