Cadillac is going electric in a big way.
The automaker has announced plans to have an all-electric lineup by 2030, including its biggest seller.
“Big” being the key word.

It is currently available with diesel and gasoline engines, including the supercharged 682 horsepower V8 in the high performance Escalade-V, but a battery-powered model is on the way.
The emissions-free Escalade is expected to be launched in 2025, and Cadillac has now revealed its name, if nothing else. It will be called the Escalade IQ, putting it in line with the nomenclature Cadillac has set on for its electric models, which will all end in IQ.
The Lyriq is currently on sale and will be followed by the $300,000 Celestiq next year.
