How Cadillac EV Maintenance Differs From Gas-Powered Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) eliminate many of the maintenance concerns associated with traditional gasoline-powered cars. Since there's no internal combustion engine, there's no need for oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters, or transmission fluid replacements. However, EVs still require routine inspections and servicing to keep key components in optimal condition.
Here's what sets Cadillac EV maintenance apart:
- Battery System Care - Your EV's high-voltage battery is the heart of its powertrain, requiring regular checks to ensure efficiency and longevity.
- Regenerative Braking System Maintenance - While brake pads last longer in EVs, periodic inspections ensure proper function and safety.
- Tire Rotation & Alignment - EVs have instant torque, which can accelerate tire wear. Routine rotations help maintain even tread wear.
- Software Updates - Cadillac EVs receive over-the-air (OTA) updates that enhance performance, add features, and improve efficiency.
- Cooling System Checks - EV batteries use cooling systems to regulate temperature, which requires periodic inspections.
Essential Maintenance for Your Cadillac LYRIQ, OPTIQ, and Escalade IQ
To keep your Cadillac EV performing at its peak, our certified technicians recommend the following maintenance schedule:
Battery Health & Charging System Inspections
Your Cadillac's advanced Ultium battery is designed for longevity, but routine diagnostics ensure its continued efficiency. Our technicians check for optimal charging performance, cooling system operation, and any signs of degradation.


Brake System Maintenance
Thanks to regenerative braking, your Cadillac EV's brake pads and rotors wear more slowly than those in traditional vehicles. However, periodic brake inspections ensure safe stopping power and smooth operation.
Tire Inspections, Rotations, & Alignments
Proper tire care is essential for EVs, as their weight distribution and instant torque can impact tread life. Regular rotations, alignments, and pressure checks improve efficiency and handling.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement
Like gas-powered Cadillacs, EVs have cabin air filters that need replacement to maintain clean air inside the vehicle. This ensures a fresh, pollutant-free driving experience.
Cooling System & Thermal Management Checks
Your Cadillac EV relies on a liquid-cooled battery system to maintain ideal operating temperatures. Periodic coolant level checks and system inspections help prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Software Updates
Cadillac's advanced software updates continuously enhance vehicle performance, efficiency, and features. Our team ensures your Cadillac LYRIQ, OPTIQ, or Escalade IQ is running the latest software to improve driving dynamics and infotainment functions.
Cadillac Premium Care EV Maintenance Program
To make EV ownership effortless, Cadillac offers the Premium Care EV Maintenance Program, covering routine services at no additional cost for a designated period. This includes battery health diagnostics, tire rotations, and other essential services to keep your Cadillac EV running at its best.
