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
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. Many EVs aren't eligible for a federal tax credit due to stricter new guidelines, but 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. Our finance center team can walk you through the specific eligibility guidelines of your favorite Cadillac electric vehicle.
