It's a big though not too big five-seat large SUV from the brand that already offers the Grand Cherokee.
It's official, the Cadillac Converj is to be the second extended-range electric vehicle after the Volt. Commonly dubbed a "fast charge," Level III is higher voltage and a considerable investment, around $60,000 (including installation) for their 480-volt, 125-amp offering.
When it’s time to stop, the Strike can absorb Level 3 juice at up to 120 kilowatts. Yet the bike still slurps juice nearly four times faster than the Harley’s 3.3-kilowatt The Strike’s electrical architecture operates in the 300-to-400 volt range, depending on the application. That’s really the direction we need to go with this.”
All plug-in cars these days come with a 120-volt charge cord. This will actually be sufficient for many if not most Volt drivers, and quite a few LEAF drivers. An empty Volt pack will take 10 hours to fully recharge; an empty LEAF about 20 hours. They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. Cost of upgrade: under $300.
A 92-kilowatt-hour battery and a 130-kilowatt generator combine to bring the juice. Ram says customers can gain 50 miles of range in 10 minutes via 400-volt DC fast charging at up to 145 kW. The front electric-drive module -- yes we know this sounds like a fancy way of saying "electric motor" -- makes 250 kilowatts and the rear 238.
Only half the story about public charging is providing juice: enabling drivers to extend the range of their vehicles beyond their night-time "fill-up" at home when necessary and overcoming newbie "range anxiety."
