If not all then most of the General Motor Co’s luxury brand Cadillac’s models would be powered by electric energy by 2030, as said head of the luxury brand vehicles.

Steve Carlisle, Cadillac’s President, said that despite an overall slump in the world’s largest vehicle market of China, Cadillac remained successful to achieve a planned low double-digit sales growth in that market this year. And for the first time since 2013, company’s this year retail sales in the United States also remained on track, he added.

Cadillac has already hinted its plan of moving toward the electrically powered models.

Carlisle also confirmed that Cadillac would also be offering a large model of sports-utility vehicle (SUV) akin to Escalade and depending upon the consumer demand, Cadillac could continue selling internal combustion models too while selling electric vehicles.

It would be late 2023, when GM is expecting starting production of large model of Cadillac’s SUV that would be manufactured at its Detroit-Hamtramck plant, which is planned to be gone through a $3 billion overhaul for the purpose, as Reuters previously reported citing sources.

Cadillac is also in 2022 plans of introducing a compact electric SUV in China, with an intention of starting production of similar model in the United States in late 2023, as said the brand’s suppliers.

Cadillac, earlier this year, came up with an idea of a midsized electric SUV.

Carlisle also unveiled that unlike the previous practice of using number and letter names such as XT5 or CT6, Cadillac will use names for its future models of electric vehicles and called Escalade as an awesome name.

Driving range is the biggest challenge facing the auto companies in manufacturing electric vehicles, and for Cadillac that range should be at least 300 miles to remain in the race and that should eventually be 400 miles with charging times in minutes to better compete with rivals, Carlisle said.
