Cadillac introduced the 2014 ELR at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and according to Bob Ferguson, Cadillac global vice president, "is an unprecedented combination of luxury, advanced engineering and progressive design in a coupe that is both sporty and environmentally friendly,”.
The good looking luxury coupe is the first of its segment to use the Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) technology, that provides a full driving range of over 480km (300 miles). This system combines an electric motor with a range extender generator.
The battery can be completely recharged in about 4.5 hours using a 240V outlet and is a T-shaped, 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack located in the middle of the coupe, between the front and rear wheels. It has 1.6m long (5.5ft) and weighs 198kg (435lb). When only using the battery the range drops to 56km or 35miles.
With the help of the range-extending 1.4liter gasoline-powered electric generator, which has 207hp (154kW), the electric motor is able to produce 400Nm, so we can expect a good 0 to 100km time. It will be manufactured at General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant.
