Cadillac’s plug-in hybrid - the Voltec-powered Converj



The ‘on the rise’ category of proposed luxury plug-in gas-electric hybrids has yet another addition – Cadillac’s concept Converj! The car’s low, sporty looking 2+2 coupe design is equipped with a 16 kilowatt-hour battery and a 40-mile all-electric range, like the Volt.

The technology behind the powertrain for the Converj and the forthcoming production Volt has been given brand name ‘Voltec’ by GM. This power train, giving 273 pound-feet of torque and a top speed of 100 mph, uses an electric motor to drive the wheels.
