Detroit — It’s official: the Cadillac Converj will be the second extended-range electric vehicle that General Motors Co. will sell after the Chevrolet Volt.
GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz made the announcement Sunday at a conference of the Society of Automotive Analysts on the eve of the North American International Auto Show.
The Converj was shown as a concept last year at the Detroit show, and The Detroit News has previously reported it received board approval for production.
Lutz said Sunday the car is starting development now and is at least a couple years from going on sale.
It will have a future generation of the Voltec system that uses a small gasoline engine to recharge the lithium ion batteries to extend the range of the electric vehicle from the 40 miles it can run on electricity alone.
