Methodology & EV Data Sources

How we calculate Cadillac Celestiq charging costs and range data: Our EV specifications, range estimates, and charging cost calculations integrate official federal testing data with current utility rate information.

  1. Range and efficiency ratings from the US DOE/EPA Fuel Economy Guide (FuelEconomy.gov) — the official source for EPA-rated range, MPGe, and energy consumption for all EVs sold in the US.
  2. Cadillac Celestiq source check uses the FuelEconomy.gov 2026 Cadillac CELESTIQ record and Cadillac's official CELESTIQ specification release.
  3. Electricity rate data from EIA Electric Power Monthly — the authoritative federal source for residential electricity prices by state and region.
  4. Federal EV credit status details from IRS Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 30D) and the DOE EV Tax Credit Eligibility Checker.
  5. Charging infrastructure data from DOE Alternative Fuels Station Locator (AFDC) — the national database of public EV charging stations.
  6. Emissions savings calculations use EPA eGRID grid emission factors to accurately measure CO₂ avoided per mile driven in the Cadillac Celestiq vs. average gasoline vehicle.

Authoritative EV and energy data sources:

EV Disclaimer: Range estimates are based on EPA-rated figures under standard test conditions. Real-world range varies by driving speed, temperature, HVAC use, cargo load, and terrain. Charging costs use average utility rates — actual costs depend on your electricity plan and time-of-use rates. Federal credit status changes with acquisition date, MSRP limits, income thresholds, purchase method, and vehicle eligibility — verify with IRS.gov before purchase.
