Next-gen Ford EVs, Cadillac Escalade IQ, BMW EVs testing V2X: Today’s Car News
Cadillac gives its long-anticipated Escalade EV a timeline and a badge. A California utility and BMW are working together on greening the grid with V2X tech. And Ford likens its efficiency-focused three-row electric SUV coming in 2025 to a “personal bullet train.” This and more, here at City Dwellers.
Don’t bother waiting for an electric Ford Expedition Lightning to complement the F-150 Lightning. Ford claimed Monday that its three-row electric SUV coming in 2025 will be a groundbreaking “personal bullet train”—with a comprehensive focus on efficiency resulting in 350 miles of range from a 100-kwh battery pack and 150 miles from a 10-minute charge.
On a completely different track, Cadillac announced plans to make a fully electric version of its big, thirsty Escalade SUV. The GM luxury brand claims the model, badged Escalade IQ and to be revealed later this year, will be “a different type of EV.”
And BMW and California’s Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) have built on a previous smart-charging partnership with a pilot program (and later, a field trial) looking at how EVs could supplement home energy and the grid. With a BMW i4 it can help return double the amount a typical house uses daily back to the grid—at the peak times when it might help boost the use of renewable energy.
