CHARGING TOWARD ALL-ELECTRIC CARS
Charging plays a vital role in leading the way to an all-electric future. While there are use cases for public and workplace charging, a majority of EV owners charge their vehicle at home. Cadillac will tailor charging solutions to the needs of our customer's lifestyle. The amount of public EV charging infrastructure has increased by 128% since 2015* GM, in conjunction with several EV charging companies, is working to rapidly expand the electric charging infrastructure even further. The goal is to make public charging as convenient as fueling a gas vehicle.
Significant advancements over the past several years have resulted in many EVs achieving longer ranges between charges. Still, market research shows that greater range capability is needed for EV adoption. Designing and engineering vehicles that address this barrier to adoption remains a critical part of our strategy going forward.

ULTIUM BATTERIES AND PROPULSION SYSTEM
GM’s all-new global EV platform powered by the proprietary Ultium battery system will allow Cadillac to compete for customers across the luxury vehicle spectrum.
The ability to stack batteries vertically is unique in the industry and allows for a flat cabin floor and more interior room than comparable EVs that use cylindrical battery packs. As a result, the same platform and propulsion system can power a variety of vehicle types from crossovers and SUVs to trucks and high-performance vehicles.

Vehicles built on this modular platform will be designed to o er driving ranges well beyond currently available EVs and 0-to-60 mph acceleration that, in certain configurations, approach supercar levels.
