Shopping for a Cadillac electric vehicle like the LYRIQ sedan or the Cadillac OPTIQ SUV can feel exciting and a little intimidating, especially with all the new information about EVs. We hope our guide on electric Cadillac models can help put your mind at ease regarding this new area of the automotive world – and the future of driving.
Learn about EV advantages, how they charge, and available tax credits you may be eligible for when you purchase one. After reading, experience the thrill of a Cadillac electric vehicle up close and personal in our Quantrell Cadillac showroom.
Choosing an all-electric vehicle may feel different, but the perks speak for themselves. Because electric models don't have an engine, you can say goodbye to the gas pump and oil changes, meaning more savings on routine service center appointments.
Plus, electric vehicles tend to have better performance specifications with more horsepower and instant torque than their gas-only counterparts. You may also notice smoother handling and gear shifting from EV models, less noise, and fewer smells since there are zero emissions.
Charging your EV is simple and can usually be done overnight. There are typically three levels of Cadillac EV charging: Level 1 home charging delivers a few miles to your battery every hour; Level 2 home charging usually requires a wallbox installation but cuts down your charging time significantly to give you a fully charged battery overnight.
The best part about choosing a Cadillac electric vehicle like the LYRIQ or OPTIQ is that these models come with complimentary dual-level charging cords that can plug into common three- and four-prong outlets to allow your vehicle to charge just about anywhere! And, while you're on the road, the third and most efficient charge comes from a DC fast-charging station. These public stations can give you hundreds of miles of range in about half an hour.1
Not only are there three levels of Cadillac EV charging, but finding public charging stations is also simpler than ever, thanks to two critical factors: an ever-growing EV infrastructure in North America and drivers' ability to locate EV stations right from their smartphones. As of January 2025, the U.S. alone had more than 175,000 electric vehicle charging ports – and this number will continue to increase every month2 as new stations are built.
Even better, these hundreds of thousands of charge points can be located via smartphone apps that are complimentary to download and use. The Cadillac brand even has a signature app to help you find nearby chargers! If an electric Cadillac model like the LYRIQ or OPTIQ is on your bucket list, don't let a fear of public charging sway your dreams.
If you'd like to explore these digital station finders ahead of your Cadillac EV lease or purchase, here's an overview of the most popular electric vehicle charging apps. Search for them by name on your Apple® or Android device and download them to get started.
These apps allow you to see the nearest public charging stations on a map, plan your route there, and provide real-time information about charger availability, pricing, and charging speeds. EV charging apps can monitor your vehicle's charging status so you'll know exactly how long a public power-up will take, and some apps go a step further by allowing drivers to initiate, stop, schedule, and pay for charging sessions.
Although you can download and use any of the apps listed above, the myCadillac Mobile App is specifically designed to pair with your electric Cadillac vehicle. Perks of this convenient tech include:
Some electric vehicle purchases may make you eligible for a federal tax credit. Two Cadillac electric vehicle options that can help you save at tax time are the Cadillac LYRIQ and the 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ.3 Many EVs aren't eligible for a federal tax credit due to stricter new guidelines, but certain Cadillac EV models currently are – and they may also be eligible for state tax credits that can help offset costs, depending on where you live.3 Our finance center team can walk you through the specific eligibility guidelines of your favorite Cadillac EV.
