Whether you currently drive an electric vehicle or are thinking about getting your hands on one, we want to inform you about one of its more popular charging options-DC charging! After you've read through our overview, contact us at Heritage Cadillac if you want to know more. Our team is excited to speak with you!

DC Fast Charging
As you may be aware, there are three different levels of charging-Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, also known as DC fast charging. Today, we'd like to talk about the last option and explain how it benefits your vehicle. When you utilize one of these outlets on the road, it can take as little as 15 minutes for a full charge. However, it's important to keep in mind that you only want to power up the battery to 80 percent and not 100. This helps to prevent it from depleting faster and needing a new one quickly. Also, we want to share that since DC charging has the highest voltage, you won't find them at homes, but can easily locate one in public as you head to where you need to be.

Finding a Charging Station
A Level 1 charger is what comes with any EV, while you can have a Level 2 installed at your place of resistance if you choose. With DC fast charging, as mentioned earlier, these can be found at dealerships or other locations as you're driving around. Anytime you may need to make a stop and add some miles to your vehicle, there are many smartphone apps that you can use. PlugShare and ChargeHub are two such applications that let you select your current location and the type of charging station that you need. We also suggest the Alternative Fuels Data Center website, which will instantly provide you with at least five different areas that you can stop at to juice up. Lastly, if your vehicle comes with navigation, you can easily find a station that way. Contact us today if you'd like to know more!

Cadillac Electric Vehicles
As of right now, the only EV in the Cadillac lineup is the LYRIQ. It comes with some impressive features that you are going to enjoy during your drives. For example, you and your guests can relax in leather seats and listen to music in peace, thanks to Active Noise Cancellation. In the center console is a large touchscreen that will let you access your apps and media each time you're on the go. With a full charge, it gives you quite an impeccable driving range and AWD is available to help combat snowy roads. Plus, you can choose from show-stopping paint colors that are going to get you noticed with each turn you take. And Cadillac isn't quite done making EVs just yet, so stop by our dealership to get the full scoop or reach out to our friendly team to see what's slated to hit our showroom.
