The first climate wind tunnel operated by a Chinese joint venture automotive partner opened at the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), GM’s automotive engineering and design joint venture with SAIC in Shanghai. It has a wind-speed deviation of less than 1% and a maximum wind speed of 250 kilometers (155 mph) per hour.
Cadillac unveiled the all-electric 2025 Escalade IQ. The Escalade IQ is the first full-size SUV from Cadillac built on GM’s Ultium Platform, and incorporates GM’s Ultifi software platform to support and deliver ongoing software updates to its technologies.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV. It is much more than that.
The Silverado EV drove smooth, but there was noticeable wind noise from the outside mirrors to the point we checked if all the windows were up. This temporary blast of electrons pushes the 2+ ton mass 0-60 mph in about 4.5 The massive tires filled to 65 psi also produced some road noise. Next up are the GMC Sierra EV Denali.
With a fully charged battery, the XC60 Recharge can go 36 miles on pure electricity (speed-limited to about 80 mph) and has a 63 MPGe rating. Fast and composed In a few 0-60 mph runs, we consistently clocked around 4.6 The ride was supple, but not soft or floaty, and felt great on winding roads.
Genesis invited automotive media to Bentonville, Arkansas, to drive the G80 EV through the winding Ozark Mountain roads. We turned 0-60 mph times of about 4.9 The G80 EV has limited wind and road noise partly due to the low 0.26 Genesis adds an electric sedan. C d , acoustic laminated glass and sound deadening insulation.
If it never hit the highway or went above 50 mph one might think this is a luxury vehicle that was tuned by a German automaker. Once the Midwest temperatures dropped down into the upper 20s to lower 30s with strong 30-35 mphwind gusts the efficiency took a hit with a final average of 2.7 miles per kwh. Still not bad.
When putting the S500 in drive and pulling away, you hear a distinctive click that reassures the door handles have retracted and will not be grabbing the wind as you whoosh down the road.

mi/kwh respectively with the cruise control set at over 70 mph, ambient temps hovering in the mid to upper 70s, and the climate control set to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Strong wind and rain lowered the efficiency on the latter. On two highway 200-plus-mile road trips the Blazer EV averaged 2.7
2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Our drive route mixed rural Michigan roads and fast Interstate traffic up to 80 mph. It’s lower and sleeker than those ICE models and a clean-sheet-of-paper design, if you don’t count the level of sharing with the GMC Hummer EV, upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ, and other models. miles per kilowatt-hour.
It sits in a segment that already includes the domestic Cadillac Lyriq and Tesla Model Y, plus imports including the Audi Q6 e-tron, BMW iX, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, with more on the way.

That was what I noted, partly in disbelief, to my co-driver as we were shown into a 2025 GMC Sierra EV and sent off to wind up through narrow Bay Area Redwood highways and stretches of Skyline Boulevard. Perhaps those are the changes that will elevate this platform for the upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ. seconds (or better, it seems).
A car like the Circuit does not like to be stuck on roads with 25 mph speed limits, but those roads made up most of the prescribed route. In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1% But where does Hydrogen come from?
