Charging Time; Charging Status - Cadillac 2014 ELR Convenience/Personalization Manual

Charging
Battery
The ELR is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack,
which holds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect (so
it doesn't have to be run down completely before recharging).
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charged, to keep
the battery temperature ready for the next drive.

Charging Time

The ELR can be programmed for three charging modes:
Immediately upon plug-in; Delayed based on departure time; and
Delayed (Electric Rate and Departure Time).
Using a 120-volt standard outlet will take approximately 12.5
hours to charge the ELR at the 12 amp setting, or 18 hours at
the 8 amp default setting. Using a 240-volt charging station will
take approximately 5 hours. Charge times will vary with outside
temperature.
