#EV charging speed

The 2026 Cadillac Optiq, rocking a native NACS port and Supercharger access, just got put to the test, and the results? A bit of a slow burn. While it's great to have more charging options, the Optiq's charging curve meant a 25-minute pit stop only got it to 65%, leaving plenty of room for improvement on those promised fast-charging times.

Hyundai and Kia EV owners using Tesla Superchargers might be charging slower than they think. Their 800-volt architecture isn't always playing nice with Tesla's 500-volt system, leading to extended wait times. For a real quick juice, hit up those 800V-plus stations like Electrify America!
