- The 2026 Cadillac Optiq will be General Motors' first vehicle with a Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) plug, followed by the Optiq-V.
- EV drivers value Tesla Supercharger access on road trips, leading to more EVs now featuring a native NACS port.

- This move aligns the Optiq with other EVs like Hyundai Ioniq 5, Lucid Gravity, and Kia EV9 featuring a NACS port.
- The Optiq lineup will include a rear-wheel-drive entry model alongside the existing dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version.
- The rear-wheel-drive Optiq will offer 315 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, while the upgraded AWD version gets 440 hp and 498 lb-ft of torque.
- All Optiq models will feature an 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack and provide a range of 300 miles with DC fast-charging up to 150 kilowatts.
- Additional features include Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance system that integrates with Google Maps and adjusts speed based on posted limits.
- Pricing details for the Optiq are yet to be announced, but the outgoing model started at $54,390.
- Cadillac's Optiq has been popular, with 75% of buyers coming from other brands, hinting at potential success for the 2026 model.
