Questions and Answers About EV.
Question: What is EV?
Answer: EV stands for electric vehicle. It is a vehicle that uses one or more electric or traction motors for propulsion.
Question: How is EV different from a hybrid vehicle?
Answer: While both EV and hybrid vehicles employ electric mechanics, such as a chargeable battery to power transportation, differences still exist. Most notably, hybrid vehicles employ an internal combustion engine, which utilizes gasoline, in conjunction with a chargeable electric battery to provide additional efficiency and distance capability while optimizing power. A battery and an electronic drive motor power EV. Which helps reduce carbon emissions, improve sustainability, and lets you take advantage of the ever-growing EV infrastructure.
Question: Which is better? An EV or hybrid vehicle?
Answer: Cadillac strives to provide world-class innovation and excellence in all our vehicles. We believe it is important to be socially responsible. As such, our goal to establish a safer and better world shows in our commitment to become carbon neutral in our global products and operations by the year 2040. When choosing between the EV or hybrid vehicles, both offer exceptional returns regarding sustainability and efficiency. Although, because hybrid vehicles employ gasoline, they have higher carbon emissions than EV. Ultimately, it comes down to your needs and what vehicle is best for your lifestyle.
Question: What kind of EV technology can we expect from Cadillac?
Answer: We are proud to introduce you to the Cadillac Lyriq. Planned for release during the first half of 2022. The Lyriq will employ our new Ultium propulsion system, enabling nearly a 50/50 vehicle weight distribution and a lower center of gravity, thus improving drivability and precision handling. With a full charge, we expect the Lyriq to allow for travel up to 300-miles. You will enjoy technology such as Super Cruise, the Cadillac-exclusive AKG Studio 19-speaker sound system, and a driver-centric curved 33-inch LED display.
Question: What is the Ultium propulsion system, and what are its benefits?
Answer: Distinct from traditional cylindrical battery cells, our Ultium battery cells are flat and flexible, thus saving space. These changes allow additional cells to be stacked, thereby holding a greater charge and producing more power. In conjunction with the Ultium Platform, this delivers a sustainable light-weight vehicle with impressive torque and driving range.
