The Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid is rated at 21 miles of range, and offers five seats in a taller, more family-friendly hatchback.įinally, there's the plug-in version of the old reliable Toyota Prius hybrid. The Chevy Volt is a hybrid electric plug-in vehicle that is EPA-rated between 38 and 53 miles of all electric range when new, depending on model year. General Motors, responding to price competition in the electric vehicle market, cuts the price of its plug-in hybrid to 34,995. Honda's new Accord Plug-In Hybrid offers less than half the Volt's electric range, in the well-received redesign of the Accord mid-size sedan-but it's now more expensive than the Volt after incentives. GM lops 5,000 off Chevy Volt price for 2014. The Volt is powered by a combination of a 115kW electric motor, 16kWh lithium-ion battery and 1.4-liter gasoline engine producing 149 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Tesla Model S is a stunning luxury sedan that happens to be all-electric, offering two models with ranges over 200 miles, but its base price is now precisely twice that of the Volt. The Leaf offers a range of 76 miles, in a more appliance-like package-though its base price remains $6,200 lower than the Volt's, even after this year's price cut. Owners also can manage and monitor the ELR online or with their smartphone and RemoteLink, a mobile app powered by OnStar.Ĭadillac ELR production begins in the USA in late 2013, with sales starting in early 2014 in North America and expanding to global markets including China and Europe.The 2014 Chevy Volt competes against both battery-electric cars like the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla Model S, and plug-in hybrids from Ford, Honda, and Toyota. Once the vehicle is plugged in, owners can schedule either immediate or delayed charges, even coordinating charging according to departure time or when electricity rates are lower. The vehicle can be completely recharged in about 4.5 hours using a 240V outlet, depending on the outside temperature. This feature helps optimise the electric-driving experience, allowing owners who mix city and highway driving to save the battery charge for city travel, where the ELR EV mode operates most efficiently.Ĭharging the Cadillac ELR’s battery can be done with a 120V electrical outlet or a dedicated 240V charging station. Using only the energy stored in the battery, the Cadillac ELR will deliver a GM-estimated range of about 56 km of pure electric driving, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature.Ī driver-selectable Hold mode directs when the Cadillac ELR uses its electric generator. The ELR’s battery is a T-shaped, 16.5 kWh lithium-ion pack, located along the centerline of the vehicle, between the front and rear wheels for optimal weight distribution.
2014 CHEVY VOLT RANGE FULL
Full driving range exceeds 300 miles, or 480 km. My 2014 Volt used to do this very infrequently, so I never thought much of it, but in the past month or so, it displays this.
