Cadillac: The Standard of the Electric World
Ah, Cadillac—the name that conjures up images of glitzy luxury and prestigious cruising. However, it looks like there’s more than just plush leather and shiny chrome in Cadillac’s showroom these days. Enter the “quiet revolution” where electric vehicles (EVs) are taking center stage. Yes, you heard that right—a luxury brand going green. Combine that with a sprinkle of federal tax credit FOMO, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for an electrifying comeback!
A Surge in EV Sales
In a shocking twist, more than 40% of new Cadillacs sold in Q3 were pure electric. That’s right, those roaring engines now whisper their way into the hearts of eco-conscious buyers. Overall, GM has seen an astonishing 110% increase in EV sales, buoyed by affordable rides like the 300-mile Chevy Equinox. But wait—Cadillac dealers have outdone themselves, standing tall amidst this electrifying tide.
