Can you tell me about my public charging options for the VISTIQ?

When it's time for your VISTIQ to get topped off, you can find either a Level 2 charging station or one of the DC Fast Chargers that make things convenient and easy.

How can I extend every journey I go on?

As we have already mentioned, the charging options available to you, we want to make sure you understand more about how you can extend the range of your VISTIQ as much as possible. Remember, Key Cadillac of South Burlington is here to help you, and that's why we want you to succeed! To all of our customers, we highly recommend sticking with about an 80% charge on your VISTIQ during your daily use, as this way you can have better battery health, and it works best with regenerative braking. However, if you are going on a longer trip, feel free to charge to the maximum! We also highly recommend creating a specific charging schedule to stick to, which allows your VISTIQ to charge to that 80% right before you leave. Should you need to precondition your ride, make sure you keep your Cadillac plugged in while doing so.
