Cadillac expects one out of every three vehicles sold to be electric by 2025
Cadillac expects one-third of its vehicles sold in the United States this year to be all-electric, as the manufacturer expands its EV offering amid slower-than-expected industrywide acceptance.
General Motors’ luxury brand is planned to offer five electrified vehicles by the end of the year, including the recently introduced Escalade IQ and Optiq entry-level crossover. They join the Cadillac Lyriq, which will be followed later this year by the three-row Vistiq crossover and the bespoke, $300,000+ Celestiq vehicle.
According to Franz, Cadillac plans to have EVs account for 30% to 35% of total domestic sales by 2025. That would represent a significant increase from 18% of US sales, or 29,072 automobiles, in 2024.
EVs accounted for 8.1% of the approximately 16 million vehicles sold in the United States last year, according to Cox Automotive. This was lower than the 10% projected by analysts at the start of the year.
Cadillac is one of numerous automakers who have abandoned intentions to exclusively sell EVs in the next years, citing slow consumer uptake of the vehicles. There is also growing concern about EV sales as President Donald Trump’s lack of federal support for the vehicles.
