Cadillac announced that early buyers of the 2014 ELR luxury extended-range electric vehicle will be given a 240-volt home charging station and installation as a thank you from the car maker. This is one of the many incentives Cadillac is offering for the new EV.

Cadillac ELR does not necessarily need a charging station, as it comes with its own onboard generator in form of a small internal combustion engine. But when you leave the car it home, you may as well plug it in to top up the batteries. This will result in less frequent use of the petrol engine, which results in fewer emissions. The ELR has a total range of 340 miles.

2014 ELR buyers also enjoy the Cadillac Shield package, which offers many high-end services including Remote Vehicle Diagnostics, a Premium Care Maintenance program and 24/7 roadside assistance. Then there is the financing options which make it easier becoming an ELR driver. Cadillac is offering the ELR on an ultra-low-mileage, 39-month lease for qualified lessees at $699 per month with $5,999 due at signing after all offers.

Las but not least, Cadillac offers an extended battery and propulsion warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles. All these incentives are offered to convince people the 2014 Cadillac ELR is worth the extra pay over the Chevy Volt, which is the same car underneath but costs half as much an ELR.
