Cadillac debuted the 2014 ELR at the Detroit Auto Show, bringing the Voltec extended-range electric powertrain from the Chevrolet Volt into a genuine luxury coupe with sharp Art and Science styling. The ELR offered a two-passenger rear cabin, cognac leather interior, and Cadillac CUE infotainment as standard equipment, wrapping the plug-in technology in a package that made a clear statement about where Cadillac wanted to take electrification. These photos cover the exterior in dark gray, drivetrain cutaway graphics, and the full interior treatment as shown at the show. Read the Detroit Auto Show 2014 Cadillac ELR article.

Have to say it was indeed a surprise to find out that Ferrari collaborated with Toyota to make the new Crown EV. Oh wait. -

Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing
Right on both counts. The Lightning would be perfectly fine for my needs though I do wish it had faster than 150kw max charge speed. If it could have been 250kw like most of the Teslas are, that would be been a significant improvement. That's really my only complaint about it. They ride great, drive great, have amazing torque. The only "truck" stuff I ever do is haul motorcycles and that has zero noticeable impact on my Avalanche MPGs. TBH, I still don't know where I'll go next. I could end up in a Lightning, or a Scout, or a Silverado EV, or a Rivian R1T. Because of some potential coming shifts in my driving habits, I'm leaning Silverado EV for now even if I have to grit my teeth about the CarPlay issue. Range and charge speed will take priority.- Electric Truck

Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing
"good enough" would likely serve 90-95% of half ton truck owners. The only thing it really didn't do all that well in was towing and it wasn't the towing itself, it was the lack of a 200+kWh battery, like the Silverado EV has. Reduced cost but much added complexity.- 1

Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing
Lightning was certainly a modest engineering effort, certainly lacking optimization in most metrics. Honestly, looking at other truck EV sales, I think Ford is ecstatic that they did not invest any more than they did. The product itself was good enough, as long as your 'enough' did not require signficant work capacity. The benefits of EREV are obvious, what is not announced yet will be the reduced cost due to far less expensive battery. Maybe not at the starting MSRP, but add max battery for some range, and price got silly high. Anyway, just a few thoughts- Electric Truck

A couple German phrases I know are ' Bitte ture schliessen' (please close the door, which I learned on the Milan to Venice train 20+ years ago, and 'fahrt nicht bumplitz' (do not drive to Bumplitz) which I read on a Swiss newspaper headline and it stuck in my head...- 1
