Important Information about Electric Vehicle Charging
- Charging an electric vehicle can stress a building’s electrical system more than a typical household appliance.
- Charge cord limits can vary from vehicle to vehicle, and increased charging rates can stress a building’s electrical system.
- Before plugging into any electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify the electrical system (electrical outlet, wiring, junctions, and protection devices) for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp continuous load.
- Electrical outlets may wear out with normal usage or may be damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle charging.
- Check the electrical outlet/plug while charging and discontinue use if the electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
- When outdoors, plug into an electrical outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
- Mount the charging cord to reduce strain on the electrical outlet/plug.
- Do not place the charge cord in a position where it is expected to be submerged in water.
Danger: Improper use of portable electric vehicle charge cords may cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and may result in damage to property, serious injury, or death.
- Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet power strips, splitters, grounding adapters, surge protectors, or similar devices.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is worn or damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly in place.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is not properly grounded.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is on a circuit with other electrical loads.
Charging App
The Charging app gives you access to features that will help you better understand and control how the vehicle manages charging, providing a central location to determine and review your charging preferences. To launch the Charging app from the infotainment home screen, touch the Charging icon. There are four selections to choose from: Next Charging, Charge Assist, Schedule, and Settings. When you launch Charging for the first time, the Next Charge screen will display.
Next Charge
To view the current charging status in the infotainment display, touch
. On the Next Charge screen, there is a range of information associated with the next Charging session, as well as the ability to specify when you would like to charge the vehicle. The choices available to charge are Charge Now or Charge Later. To create a charge schedule See “Creating a Charge Schedule” under “Schedule” below. The Charging screen shows and allows you to determine how the vehicle charges the next time it is plugged in.
Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode for your vehicle. The vehicle begins charging immediately when it is plugged in and authenticated at the charging location. With Charge Now selected, the Charging screen displays:
- Text explaining that the vehicle will charge immediately when plugged in.
- Charge Complete by/in: The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired Charge Level.
- Target Charge Level Gauge: Sets the percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.
Warning: Do not charge your vehicle’s battery above 80% charge if you are going to drive down long, steep grades such as mountain passes. This provides room in the battery for regenerative braking to supplement your conventional brakes during the descent. This is especially important when towing a trailer, which puts additional stress on your vehicle’s braking system.
The default charge level is 100% when plugged in. To set a different charge level, drag the circular marker on the Target Charge Level Gauge to the preferred value. To lower the desired Charge Level, drag the Charge Level marker counterclockwise, and to increase it drag the marker clockwise. The Charge Level can also be changed by tapping ∧ and ∨ inside the gauge on the screen. The multifunction controller (MFC) on the center console can also be used to set the Charge Level by rotating clockwise or counterclockwise when the Target Charge Level Gauge is highlighted. The Range estimate updates once the desired Charge Level is set. To optimize battery health, the minimum allowable Charge Level is determined by the vehicle.
Charge Later
Instead of charging immediately to a desired Charge Level, you may choose to delay the charge to the vehicle and have it complete by your desired departure time. This may be a more economical choice and a more efficient use of energy when charging at home. To use this mode, touch the Charge Later tab from the Next Charge screen. With Charge Later selected, the Charging screen displays:
- Text explaining that your vehicle will delay the planned charge to be ready by the time specified.
- Time Selector: Used to set the desired time at which the vehicle will finish charging and be ready for departure.
- Target Charge Level Gauge: Sets the percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.
- Cabin Pre-Conditioning: Allows the vehicle to heat or cool the cabin to your desired temperature using energy from the charger. This means energy from the battery is not used to condition the cabin, ensuring the vehicle gets the maximum range from the charging session. Cabin pre-conditioning happens at the end of the charge, and right before the departure time.
To set the time at which the vehicle will complete the charge and be ready for departure:
Swipe up or down on each value within the Time Selector until the preferred time is selected. The time selector can also be modified using the multifunction controller (MFC) on the center console by turning the knob when the preferred value is highlighted. If the desired Charge Level cannot be reached by the selected time, a message will display that one of the two preferences will need to be adjusted. To adjust the desired Charge Level in Charge Later mode, see “Charge Now” earlier in this section. Setting the Cabin Pre-Conditioning preference: Touch the switch to turn on Cabin Pre-conditioning. Cabin Pre-Conditioning temperature can be adjusted by touching Cabin Pre-Conditioning on this screen, or in Settings.
Active Charging
During an active charging session, the Charging screen displays and continuously updates the following items:
- Text indicating the vehicle’s current charging status.
- Current Range: The range the vehicle is capable of driving at the current charge level.
- Range Increase Rate: How much range is accumulating per hour of charging?
- Charge Complete at/in: The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired Charge Level.
- Target Charge Level Gauge: During an Active Charge, the gauge displays the vehicle’s current Charge Level as a percentage and a colored section of the circular gauge to represent this value.
To update the desired Charge Level for the active charging session, drag the marker on the Target Charge Level Gauge. Touching the Stop Charge button at any time ends the active charging session. For Level 1 chargers, you can also select the appropriate Charge Cord Limit of either 8 amps or 12 amps. This determines how much current can flow from an electrical outlet to the vehicle battery. It also ensures proper charge time estimates. When the Charge Cord Limit is changed from 8 amps to 12 amps on a 120V circuit a notification is displayed. If no Home Charge Location is set, the Level 1 Cord Limit will revert to 8 amps every time the vehicle is shifted out of (P) Park. Range and charge time estimates fluctuate depending on a number of factors such as Charge Cord Level/Limit, battery temperature, and outside air temperature. The peek-in charging screen can be used to monitor your vehicle’s charge status when the vehicle is off, see Instrument Cluster. To monitor the charging status remotely, download the My Cadillac app on your mobile device.

- Charge Power Loss Alert: When on, your vehicle will chirp for an extended period of time if charging power is cut off.
DC Fast Charge Battery Conditioning
If equipped, adjust the battery to the optimal temperature for quicker DC Fast Charging. This should be done before charging at a DC Fast Charger. Depending on the outside and battery temperature, battery conditioning could take longer to reach the optimal temperature. While en route to a DC Fast Charge station using Google Maps, DC Fast Charge Conditioning happens automatically if a DC Fast Charge station has been added to your route.
Cabin Pre-Conditioning Temperature
Allows for the preferred cabin temperature to be set. During a planned charging session at the vehicle’s Home Charge Location, the vehicle cabin is warmed or cooled to this temperature if set to ON in either the Charge Later screen or in an active Schedule.
Preferred Charge Times
Allows preferred charge time windows to be enabled for the Home Charge Location during both weekday and weekend planned charging sessions. It does so whether the vehicle is set to Charge Later, or observing a scheduled charge. This allows for charging at a lower cost by prioritizing charging during the electrical provider’s off-peak period. The vehicle will use these times to reach the desired Charge Level by the scheduled time. If the vehicle cannot reach the desired charge level within these times, it will charge as needed outside of this time window.
