Cadillac ELR

The Cadillac ELR is an upcoming plug-in hybrid coupe developed by General Motors. It was first shown as a concept car at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit as the Cadillac Converj., and unveiled in production form in January 2013 at the North American International Auto Show, and production is scheduled to begin by late 2013 at the Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Plant.

Incorporating the propulsion system from the Chevrolet Volt—the battery pack, the 119-135 kilowatt electric motor, and the four-cylinder engine-generator, collectively dubbed the "Voltec" electric propulsion system—the Converj concept has an all-electric range of 35 miles (56 km) and a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h). The two-door, front-wheel-drive coupe recharges in only 4.5 hours using a 240-volt outlet, the type commonly used for large electric appliances. The ELR will use GM Delta II platform, which is shared by the Chevrolet Volt and Cruze, and the Buick Verano, and will be smaller than the Camaro.
