Typical full-speed install
48A charger on a 60A circuit
Reaches this car's 11.5 kW ceiling. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it - that's the actual assessment.
Connector
NACS
NACS (North American Charging Standard, originally Tesla's plug) is now the connector most new EVs are shipping with for both home Level 2 and public DC fast charging.
On the Vistiq Luxury AWD specifically, that connector carries up to 11.5 kW at home on Level 2 and up to 190 kW on public DC fast hardware.
Charging speed by circuit size
The Cadillac Vistiq's onboard charger can't use more than 11.5 kW AC no matter how big the circuit - past 48A, a bigger charger buys you nothing on this car.
