Using only the energy stored in the battery, the ELR will
deliver a GM-estimated range of about 35 miles of pure electric
driving, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature.
This means most daily commutes will require zero gasoline with zero

Charging the ELR's battery can be done with a 120V electrical
outlet or a dedicated 240V charging station. Once the vehicle is
plugged in, owners can schedule either immediate or delayed
charges, even coordinating charging according to departure time or

lower.

driver-activated feature sounds a noise to alert pedestrians,
particularly those with visual impairments, in an intersection. The
alert was developed in conjunction with the American Federation of
the Blind.
The Cadillac ELR has an aggressive, forward-leaning profile that
introduces a new design evolution that will be carried over into

late 2013 with sales starting in early 2014 in North America and
expanding to global markets including
