Environmental impact

Cadillac’s leap into the all-electric vehicles market marks a major step towards reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. With models like the LYRIQ, Cadillac is setting new benchmarks for how luxury cars impact our planet.

The LYRIQ alone boasts an impressive range of over 482 kilometres per full charge—meaning fewer stops at charging stations and less carbon footprint. At True North Chevrolet Cadillac, we’re proud to support this shift that promises cleaner air and quieter streets across Ontario.

Our commitment doesn’t stop at selling electric Cadillacs. We understand that improving air quality and cutting greenhouse gas emissions are crucial for a sustainable future. That’s why we encourage EV adoption among luxury car buyers in North Bay and beyond.

Cost savings on maintenance and fuel

Owning an electric automobile, like those from Cadillac, means saying goodbye to traditional fuel costs. Our team here at True North Chevrolet Cadillac has seen that EV drivers enjoy a significant decrease in annual fuel expenses—about 40 to 65 percent less than driving gas-powered cars.

This is because electric motors don’t need gasoline or diesel—just electricity, which is cheaper. Plus, with the price of new EVs dropping nearly $15,000 between September 2022 and September 2023, getting into your next all-electric vehicle has never been more accessible.

Maintenance? Much simpler for EV owners. Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts compared to their gasoline counterparts; no oil changes are necessary here! As a result, our customers save around 40% on repair and maintenance over time.

It’s clear that electrics offer advanced technology and practical benefits, such as cost savings on upkeep and operating costs. At True North Chevrolet Cadillac in Ontario, we ensure you understand these advantages thoroughly—we’re here to guide you through every step of owning an all-electric vehicle that suits your luxury needs while offering exceptional value over its lifetime.

Financing and Ownership Options for Your Cadillac EV

Choosing the right way to get behind the wheel of a Cadillac EV involves comparing financing and leasing options. Leasing can often mean lower monthly payments, making it an attractive choice for those who like to upgrade their vehicle every few years.

With trends showing a decrease in EV leases—from nearly one-third of new EVs in 2019 to less than one-fifth by mid-2022—it’s clear that more buyers are considering purchasing for long-term benefits.

At True North Chevrolet Cadillac, every financing or leasing offer we present is based on approved credit, ensuring our customers receive terms that fit their financial situation.

For buyers drawn to established models like the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ or the luxurious CELESTIQ, buying might be the smarter path. This approach capitalizes on proven longevity and avoids any concerns over battery life span—especially with advancements expected in battery technology within three years, aligning nicely with typical lease periods.

Our team at True North Chevrolet Cadillac guides each customer through their options, helping them understand which ownership model—leasing or buying—best suits their lifestyle and preferences in Canada’s evolving electric vehicle landscape.
