The upcoming Chevy Silverado EV looks promising, but can it compete against a growing competitive roster of rivals? Let us know what you think in the comments. Full coverage at: edmu.in/3HFq4d9
Why don't you guys do some journalism$ I believe you need that for a basis to work as an automotive journalist no?? Maybe ask some very important questions surrounding electric vehicles, instead of just going with the flow! This electric thing will be a disaster financially and a disaster for the planet environmentally!
TESLA hands down WINS in Every TRUCK catagory.
gm & FUD motors don't have the batteries to go into FULL production.
@@markplott4820 on specs or in reality?
When is the Tesla truck coming out.
@@markplott4820 except it keeps continually being delayed, and increasing in price. The old Elon two step
I like that the Lightening looks a lot more like it’s non-EV trucks.
Lightning
Agreed ford looks are way better here. Which sucks because between the gas models chevy easily takes it for me
@@brownro214 The chevys front looks better and that’s it!
Chevrolet is looking more sportier than ever. But who’s going to be able to pay a $ 105 thousand dollars for that kind of pickup. I hope over time that the price comes down…
GM will be offering prices from 40-50-60-70+ once they start introducing all their Silverado lineup.
My dad's work has a year wait for Escalade's and Corvette's. He said they have 103 Corvettes sold already and the owners won't get the last few until mid 2023. Every Escalade sold was around $120,000 CDN before tax 😳. I think they will sell every single one of these trucks no sweat.
Who’s going to pay the asking price for the first fully electric Silverado? What do you mean?? The question doesn’t even make sense.
Nothing like waiting till your competition comes out and then outmatch everything.
That’s an avalanche, y’all. 😂
I was thinking the same thing
This guy is treating chevys hypothetical's as real world evidence 😅 Ford actually has the lighning on the road!
Should've called it the Avalanche
Corny,!
@@vcash1112 it’s not corny
They had a truck literally called the avalanche from like 2000ish to 2011 I think
EValanche
same as all chevy 4 wheel drive.
People don't like the avalanche for some reason. Like it's a second class truck
Bring on a maverick EV for $28,500.
That would sell like hotcakes but I doubt they could get it under 30k with the cost of batteries right now.
I'd buy that!
The Chevy’s biggest advantage is the bed extended into the fold down rear seating area; you have the option of either a longer bed or back seats. The functionality of the tail gate is #2. But in both cases, what’s the cost? If it’s more that $2k for both together, Chevy can keep it & I’d go for the Ford.
More range, better charging, better technology, more features, and better tow rating are other advantages the Silverado E has against the F-150 Lightning.
@Justin Smith all those features would be on thr high end truck at 105k+ the ford lighting platinum would be around 90k+
@@justinsmith2598 And it's 3 years after it, so I hope that the Chevy EV has better tech. It'll be interesting to see Ford's 2nd Gen EV in 3 to 4 years also.
And "Better towing", until I see actual evidence that the Chevy EV can tow as much as it's claimed, I'll call BS any day of the week...
The bed extension into the cab is only an advantage on nice days. Try hauling something long when it's cold, or raining, or snowing.
@@Jalahr77 you make a good point. Where I live, we had snow and freezing temperatures since late October of last year to literally this week. That feature would be useless for all that time here..
They should focus on efficiency (weight, battery chemistry, 800/900 volt system, etc).
Aerodynamics/not being an actual brick would be cool, lol
I think you misunderstand what people use a truck for.
@@vicle trucks need efficiency more than any other segment. There’s a reason why both consumer and commercial trucks have had huge innovations over the past 20 years in that regard.
@@vicle Higher energy efficiency would benefit all the things truck buyers are looking for, like price (smaller battery = lower cost), cargo space and payload capacity (smaller battery = less weight and smaller size) "faster" charging (can go further on any given charge session), and of course, more range.
@@directorjustin A smaller battery doesn't necessarily mean faster charging, you have to keep the architecture in mind and if it can accommodate a 400V system and battery.
Great video. Is it true that Alistair means "two clocks" in Cornish?
Gonna be so sick when these are actually getting miles under their belts with real customers so we can see how they really stack up. Spec comparing really just doesn’t go it justice.
First generation cars suck
@@mistahozzy always homie.
Chevy definitely has a more sporty look...almost in the same aesthetic as the Colorado. Head to head, the Chev takes the cake for sure, heads up. But Ford's 1 year head start will be a big advantage.
Big price difference? Chevy is a lot more I think.
Dude the Chevy is ugly what are you smoking
It looks like the avalanche. Why is it so rounded. The ford looks 100x better
@@reellifetoronto6514 Aero, to allow it to get the 400 mile range, Big FLAT FAT Bricks like the Ford are suffering range with that look of theirs.
@@Nebula1701 They know that. They’re playing dumb because they want to believe the Ford actually looks the best. It looks like every other F-150 already on the road, even on the same platform as the ICE Ford trucks already out. It’s called *”COST CUTTING”* therefore the Ford Lightning suffers in functionality and is less capable on paper and it’ll be worse in the real world.
Chevy actually invested and spent the money to build a true bespoke mainstream EV pickup. Yea Ford might’ve got the head start but this comparison is an embarrassment for the Lightning really.
They both seem pretty cool, but I feel like it's important to mention that the Chevy has a one piece side panel construction. This effectively makes the truck very similar to a unibody design. It may not mean much to some people, but it means everything to others.
100% correct on both aspects. I think the Chevy is the better of the two but the Ford uses existing tooling in that it uses the existing F150 cab, doors, and body. Chevy will definately be playing catch up.
Body on frame is done for manufacturing purposes, it has no other benefit, a correctly designed unibody will outperform a body on frame, it's just a lot more expensive to design it to do so.
@@ryanmoyes2079 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
GM is moving to full EV by 2030 with no gas. So, this is their idea of the future truck world. Truck buyers who want traditional truck styling will need to look elsewhere, and that is a plethora of customers.
@@matthewrobertson156 Yeah, for sure. I like the design, personally, just not the platform. Not for a full size pick-up, anyway.
Can you use the outlet on the Chevy Silverado ev WT to power your home like the F-150 Lightning Pro?
so glad I could increase the playback speed...normal speed was way to slow/painful. 1.25x/1.5x made it much easier to watch and an extra bonus, it was over sooner...
I like both. But I have to say, I respect the wild Silverado look. The F-150 is cool but it's also safe. If I got to choose one for free? Silverado without question.
Ford is the leader in this space, so it has to be safe and not anger their huge customer base. Coca Cola definitely learned that lesson firsthand years ago.
F150 lighting feels same as gas f150 all-over, which is making it appeal to existing as well as new buyers. Other trucks are mostly appealing to niche EV market, same with Silverado EV.
Also, how comfortable would the ride in cabin be when you fold down rear panels to fit larger stuff? There will be so much wind noise and AC/ heater will be of no use. Not sure if I missed something there.
I disagree. The Lightning will appeal to diehard Ford fans, and the Silverado likewise Chevy fans. As for the Rivian, the specs are good,, but I can't stand the front. My wife on the other hand loves the look of the Cybertruck. You can guess which one we have on order.
@@brownro214 😂 wife wins every time
I ordered the Rivian, 800 horsepower for 70k? Take my money, please!
@@brownro214 rip, you have a cybertruck.
@@brownro214 , of course, women usually get their way, so Cybertruck it is. The only remote reason I kinda like the Cybertruck is because it looks like a vehicle you'd see in the original Terminator scenes where it shows Kyle Reese in the future, fighting against the machines that have high powered laser guns.
You can use the tonneau cover when you have the midgate down.
You guys really did a minimal job of covering towing, giving like less than a full sentence to range vs towing. Some real world towing v wt v elevation gain v range is yet to be seen even in some of the tow specific tests I've seen.
Some estimates have up to a 70% loss of range when towing at full capacity. That cuts your 300 mile range to 90.
That’s probably because the range is terrible.
Alot of that hasn't been done for Chevy because they haven't actually built a production model yet that I know of.
Ford has gone so far as shown that their built in range showing on the dash is accurate and dynamic for the situation.
Right? Plus they did not mention that F150 300 range is based off of a 1k load. So, they are basing their range on the truck hauling.
This definitely seemed like half cocked video.
@@makinawake9178 The Chevy is on the same platform as the Hummer. So whatever that can do the Chevy can do... Depending on price. Obviously the Chevy will be the budget option, GMC in the middle and Hummer on top for now. I would imagine Cadillac will come up with a vehicle for this platform as well. Perhaps it will replace the current Escalade and we might get an Escalade EXT again.
f150 lighting requires xlt package and upgraded battery for 300miles...
that means 75,000 for the ford to get the 300 range base model only has the 230 range batt available
edit ford has the ev tax credits. so the base should be 32k
I’d be surprised if the tax credits go very far. Every Mustang Mach-E counts toward 200,000 units. By the time the Lightning starts shipping it will be interesting to see how many trucks qualify.
No one knows if the lightning is even available for those EV tax credits so I dont know where you got ur info from
@@dor1tomcswagger69 if it’s not, Ford shouldn’t say on the F-150 Lightning site “you may qualify for as much as $7,500 in federal tax incentives…” I realize it isn’t certified yet, but it will be. But my point stands, given the current law, when Ford hits 200,000 units of EV sales the credit will be gone. Something to be mindful of when making a purchase decision.
Fleet buyers can get the long range batteries in the base model.
It’s all vapor ware till it comes out. Remember that. #CyberTruck. Also, remember that the F150 also is estimating range while towing 1,000lbs. Many people that have gotten their hands on it have shown over 450 miles or estimated range while just driving around.
Cybertruck not only is it ugly, but the greatest bit of vapourware on the internet
GM has the Hummer EV in production, so they know what the capabilities of a lighter, no armor, smaller motors, less motors Silverado will do. The Silverado RST is basically a Hummer EV 2X, minus crabwalk and extract mode.
Tesla is farked
With all the electrical problems that chevy’s have, I don’t want to imagine all the electrical issues in an all electric truck😂
Happy 2022🥳
I love this shape for a truck. Always been a huge fan of the Avalanche, and I was just talking to a friend about how cool looking I find the new Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Since you don’t have to allocate so much room to the powertrain and exhaust, etc… Cars really don’t need to be the “normal” shape anymore, and I’d love to see designers get *weird* with their designs. *Not* first generation Nissan Leaf weird 🤢 but Ioniq 5 weird 😎
This, the Lightning, and the R1T are all super exciting vehicles and I can’t wait to see what dealership lots look like 10 years from now! If we even have them still 😂
Idk, Evlanche seemed like a better idea to me. But I am glad the equinox and blazer are next, hopefully a Colorado ev would be cool
They may have backed off once they realized that if any problems arose, the headlines would be spelled EVIL- anch
I've seen the concept renderings of the Equinox EV and the Blazer EV, and they look almost identical to me, however, they both looked very nice.
The thing that matters most to me is the seats. I'm getting older and the racing buckets just aren't doing it for me anymore. I'd be happy with either. I'd like to have the bed space of the Chevy, but having that space open in Texas in August... ugh.
Do a video of these manufactures doing a comparison of there product in extreme cold climates. How do they hold up. How many years of life is reduced on the battery in cold climates. Cost of replacement of the battery. Training of techs for repair. Infrastructure is still being developed yes but I would like to see theses EV commercials in snow and ice and actual results. Some us live in the North Pole ya know. Lol. Cheers
The f150 range is based on hauling 1000lbs in the bed isn’t it? Reference @mkbhd video where the estimated range could be high 400s without the payload.
No.
@@brownro214 czcams.com/video/J2npVg9ONFo/video.html
Practical range will be interesting
@@robertryan7204 I think that was the purpose of fords ratings. They wanted a range with practical use. Or “philosophy of use” ratings. Built for the working person.
We have no idea what GM's ranges are based on. We do know they have a much larger pack available to them because the Silverado is a purpose built EV truck. Given this isn't GM's first trick I assume they know what they're doing.
It looks a lot like the avalanche to me. Especially with the fold down back seat that extends the bed.
My point of view is, that Lighting is still a truck and the Silverado is a modern Avalanche. 🤷🏼♂️
Exactly what I thought when I saw it. Why not just call it the all electric Avalanche 🤷🏿♂️
@@rbivinc1 just call it EV-lanche
@@DocentUSA that's a good one. I'm sticking with that 🤣🤣🤣
I like the bed design of the Chevy better. I think it looks nicer too. Both nice trucks but Chevy kids the nod.
what about being able to download your vehicles data by means of wifi into your home computer?
significantly keeping up with business sitting at your desk, like it should be.
it's all about user friendly
Really looking forward to being amazed with the Lightning's debut
It's easy to claim your numbers are slightly better in an unreleased prototype vehicle that's 2 years out from production. Until Chevy ships an actual truck available to consumers, it's all vaporware.
Facts
It’s built on the same platform as the Hummer EV pickup, but with a different body. So, relatively easy to predict performance.
5:04. Not just below the window. The glass can come out too!
Just because they are putting large batteries in these trucks does not mean they are efficient. Many will make the mistake of buying these trucks not realizing what it takes to charge them and how long it will take to fully charge them. They are using big heavy batteries that will require a lot of electricity. How many KW hours will be needed to charge and if you are using this for work how often will you need to charge. Then think about how many hours a week you will sit at a charging station. How far is that station from your house. Charging at home? How many days a week will you need to charge the truck and what will it cost you? Edmunds sure as hell doesn’t know.
I agree. Peter Rawlinson of Lucid said it best, "stuffing a bigger battery in an EV to gain more range is just dumb!".
Putting a large engine in a truck doesn't mean they're efficient either. However, I would love to put a 6.2 LS V8 in my Tacoma.
If you live in a house, There are several charging options for charging at home overnight. To charge the long range battery from empty to The basic charger that can plug into your existing 240 v out will take 19 hours. You can install a 48A charging station at home that cuts it to 13 hours . You can install an 80A one that will take 8 hours. (That’s overnight) . Note , that’s from empty to full. But most people don’t drive 300 miles daily. So EITHER charger will be good enough since you’ll simply plug it in nightly when you get home. Most cities will give credits to offset the cost if you install one of the extra cost charging stations. The cost at home for a full charge is about $11.00 at today’s rates. You will You’ll pay a LOT more to fill a gas tank with enough gasoline to go 300 miles. If you’re in a hurry, you can use fast charging station. That will take about 45 minutes. (Lunch break) the cost will vary depending on location. But charging at home is actually MORE convenient than stopping for gas because you just plug it in when you get home and unplug it in the morning. Admittedly this won’t meet everyone’s needs. But most people will do just fine.
Vast majority of the time these get charge at home or at work while they parked and you are going about your life. It takes a few seconds to plug in. Then, it’s ready for you when you wake up for work. It’s super convenient on a daily basis to live with an EV.
@@cypvh74 After I actually thought about it, the only real downside for those who can charge at home is long trips . For now They still take planning . And charging time is still an issue. Not as bad with fast charging. But still not as convenient as a gasoline fill up. Those who can’t charge at home are still at a disadvantage because charging stations aren’t that cheap. And it still takes time. But for those who take infrequent long trips and can charge at home, it’s MORE convenient and much less expensive than gasoline, especially for those who have reduced electricity rates at night.
Cool. I don’t own a business but want the base model that comes out spring 2023. Will this base model be available for all or only businesses??
For all but it's very basic inside
First year of WT model for us po folks have already been spoken for by Walmart , FedEx etc. Best you can hope to see the work trucks will be on late summer or fall 2024 with fat dealer mark ups!
Green trucks only for folks with lots of greenbacks!
Just like a box truck, it sounds like you can lease one from Enterprise.
F150 doesn't have to be better than Silverado now because it's here in production.
Haven't seen any owners with one yet
@@DaRevrin me neither. But I have seen the Lightning factory producing trucks so it’s just a matter of time.
GM already has the Hummer EV in production.
@@theflew cool but at $112,000 the Hummer EV is not the subject of the video.
Of course Chevy is going to say their numbers are higher. That's the game they play.
Also the benefit of being second to announce
@@Oozywolf What difference would it have made if Chevy announced the Silverado EV specs first? The truck is still better and gets worlds better performance than the Ford Lightning. It ain’t because Ford announced first, it’s because they cheated out and built their first fully electric truck on a ICE platform. It ain’t GM’s fault that the base model Ford Lightning gets such laughable and shifty range, and Ford is charging customers $15k to achieve base model Silverado EV range/performance. 😂
@@mybro727 With current tech, I have high doubts that the Chevy EV can get anywhere close to what they're promising. For 400 Mile Range, you need a huge battery. Huge battery = more weight. More weight, less payload. Less payload... Well, your max towing goes down. Doesn't matter if you can pull 20K, if the load's too much on the vehicle, you can't tow it.
So until it releases, I'm calling the Chevy EV as it is... All marketing hype...
Once the launch edition fully loaded trim is gonna be 100k. The bs one is like 40s i think.
I hate comparison of current vs future vehicles.
Supercruise works while towing. Blue Cruise does not. This one's not a tie.
There needs to be a rating for towing range.
I’m interested about what dodge will come out with hmmm a E TRX
Everyone is talking about what trucks are better but, they don't talk about if it cab go through water.
What about Fords power from car to house in power outage?
The price is insane!!
I believe by 2030 prices will be lower and more competition also we’ll see how reliable will be
You're literally paying the same price for a gas vehicle so what is the issue lol lol. Plus look at gas prices now, You're literally paying a second car note a month in gas, so what is your point lol.
Avalanche is back! sweet
Fully loaded lightning is around $97K, fully loaded Silverado RST first edition is listed at
$106, 695. That's almost $10K difference, nothing to sneeze at.
yea, and 100 mile range difference AND charges much faster AND. which is HUGE! so yea, that 10k difference is a bargain.
When you are buying a $100,000 vehicle, $10K is not a huge difference. If $10000 is that important you should buy the Rivian.
@@deslodl89 A $106k truck is no bargain, lol
@@songmaster9308 Ford charging ppl 15k for an extra 70 miles is not great either makes the Silverado a bargain with better mileage
Two different companies, two entirely different trucks. One rushed what they could muster up to market and the other took their time and built a bespoke EV from the ground up. That’s how you get two different prices. Sounds like common sense to me.
All Ford fans want to talk about is the price of the Silverado EV because for them the comparison goes downhill from there. But the Silverado is so much better than the Ford that it’s _still_ a bargain at $10k more. Lol. 😂
This Chevy will destroy the Ford in sales. Chevys design appeals to a broader audience it's not just for traditional truckers. The design of the Ford already looks old. I feel the people buying EV trucks are still early adopters and technology and appearance make them pick the new Chevy.
Traditional Ford buyers probably not pulling the trigger on an EV truck anyway. Can't even compare designs here.
Carlos is now at Car & Driver.
What’s “hypothetical” about a bespoke EV platform having less comprises in regards to range and battery efficiency vs a ICE truck platform that Ford used in order to cut cost by converting the regular gas motor F-150 into a battery powered truck?
These are simply the advantages of investing enough into the product and not half ass-ing it. Great job CHEVROLET!
There is a clear reason why some people are narrow minded and some others think outside the box, if you really think Ford did this just to cut corners and cheap out or half ass it than you sure have no idea of what's really going on.
@@raionshishi8290 Oh! please enlighten us all of what’s “really going on” over at Ford and why arguably their most important vehicle of the decade the first fully electric *Ford Lightning* is on a ICE F-150 platform.

Nice truck but I think the bed is very weak for a work truck.. for a work truck the bed have to be separate from the cab.
So do these "batteries" ever go bad?
All rechargeable batteries slowly lose capacity over time. In the case of electric vehicles that process is pretty slow. A test was done on a 2015 Tesla Model S in 2020 with 146,000 miles and it retained 83% of its power capacity. Not great but not too bad either.
El frontal de la Silverado pero sin ser pick-up arrasaria en España🇪🇸🇪🇸, un saludo
Imagine trying to compete against Tesla and then sell your first ev trucks with massive markups.
So...bigger bed in the Chevy means a smaller cab than Ford, right?
I think if it's a tie, both trucks should get a point, not leaving it out.
I would never buy an EV until it can at least what my gas/diesel vehicle can do at a similar price.
None of this matters until they’re into production, pipe dreams
I have a 2012 chevy avalanche . so I have the all important mid gate already . I will keep mine thank you. I have 108,000 miles . When I get to 250,000 I will consider a change or just drop a new crate motor and trans in for 10,000 . Will say it looks like a nice truck
You should have compared the 2050 F150 Lightening to the 2024 Chevy. I mean if your going to compare a truck that is at least 2 years away against a truck that is taking orders now?????
F150 lighting available May this year 2022. Silverado EV WT available Spring 2023. RST Fall 2023. Cheaper versions of the Hummer will also be available starting fall 2022.
@@theflew You keep telling yourself that!
They could have made it the EValanche
What's the big deal if the electrical truck double in price .
sweet ride, now i'm missing my old Avalanche 😥
I think the EVs are neat, but realistically until they get the range a lot further on all EVs I am out.
Range and that bed destroy the F150. Price really means nothing at this point, if it did, Ford would never sell a Raptor.
Even though the Silverado EV might cost a little less, have more range and power, I think I'd still prefer the Ford F150 Lightning because it still looks more like a truck should look, even though the Silverado looks okay. Also, I assume the F150 Lightning EV has an all military grade aluminum body, which means it will not rust and not likely to corrode.
No comparison! Ford is built on existing ICE chassis while Silverado EV is completely new architecture (body chassis integrated) built specific for EV truck. Silverado EV is leaps ahead compared with Lightning.
No V2H? No deal. Having your truck double as a whole-house battery backup takes some of the sting out of that ~$70k price tag. (Or $105k)
It has it.. They did mention in their official release it will have the ability to take battery out of the car to power other things with a charger adapter.
I will take the one actually based on a truck, the Chevy boasts some excellent numbers and looks better in my opinion, but if I'm using a truck for my profession I'll take the Lightning. Plus Ford is the first to the market, they will have plenty of time to boost their numbers if they and their customers see it necessary.
Pickup truck drivers don’t want a frunk. Move the cab forward and extend the bed.
At first I thought the Silverado EV was really ugly but now that I understand why they designed it the way they did (packaging efficiency), it's grown on me. I still think it would look better without so many styling lines and creases.
A clean, upright, squared off look, like a traditional Silverado would've looked miles better imo.
Why not wait till they're actually released since alot is still unclear
That is all fine. Consider if you use your truck for more than a grocery getter then you lose most of your range.
Great comparison! Comparing something which ppl have seen and touched in 2022 with something that may come up in 2024 😂.
Little secret only for you : iphone 2024 will be better than once we have now. Shhh 🤫
The Hummer is available now. There's nothing about the Silverado EV that the Hummer EV doesn't prove is possible given the Silverado isn't as powerful as the Hummer EV, it weighs less and is more aerodynamic.

If the rear seat has a 60 40 split there still isn't room for a back seat passenger to sit next to a sheet of plywood
I don't think think this was a very fair comparison, and it just seems Chevy just waited for Ford to come out with their truck so they could copy it and just edge it out by a little but it remains to be seen how good it really is
...what, that never happens. Who would want to be "2nd" just so they could beat the first guy in stats/on paper. Shirley, you must be thinking of something else......
On the other side of things, Ford get to sell the trucks with virtually 0 competition.

And $97,000 for the top end Lightning is not?
You don't have to buy a completely loaded Silverado. I
So basically you’re saying Chevy’s marketing is better than Ford’s, since we’ve haven’t have seen a production of either.
How can you do a head to head when Chev hasn't even released dimensions of their frunk, standard battery, or even tested the rear wheel steering?
Points system flawed here. Full disclosure, I have a pre-order on lightning.
Even if I haven't made up my mind I think I would choose one that A: is built starting this year and B: actually has a defined sales pitch.
GM is trying to pretend they are a startup or Ford just does a better job on the EV release.
You realize this is the same platform as the currently in-production Hummer EV, that has rear wheel steering?
@@cypvh74 I did understand there were some features/characteristics that translated from that but crab steering not so much.
God I was on board for the Cybertruck and uninspired by the competitors (Ford, Rivian) until I saw this Silverado. That thing is beautiful
Probably still keep my Cybertruck reservation though..
They both pale in comparison to the Cyberruck?? (-:
I'd rather have the big on-board Ford generator for when the grid goes down.
Both power Homes. GM has over 10kw.
I personally like the Silverado EV more 😁
But I thought Ford isn’t planning on an electric super duty nor is Chevy for the heavy duty Silverado
GM definitely said heavy duty EV trucks will be coming.
Ford has a huge headstart with 200,000 preorders compared to Cybertruck's THREE MILLION?? (Yes I know they are preorders on both trucks not sales.) 15X more people want CT I guess.
It’s the CYBRTRK for me
And these products as work trucks will excel, a personal vehicle 50 50. If tow fail. If you drive it like a car win
The work truck from Cheby at 39,00 would do but I understand the midgate & window are not removable, only 1/2 of midgate is able to open. I could be wrong ? Don't really care for the all glass cab roof. Besides that they are limiting the work truck to only fleet customers to start out, don't really care for that either. Hello Ford.
The Chevy is just an updated Avalanche; I would never find use that mid-gate- the price for the RS-T is insane at over 100K......
Hint, don't get the RST and don't option the Silverado EV with a mid gate. It's called choice.
I was born in 2000. and seeing the year 2024 for a car model year is SO weird... like it's already 2022. what
Wow! it can go nearly 400 miles. My old one can go 400 miles on a single tank of gas, then I stop and refuel in a couple of minutes and go another 400 miles. You better start looking for a charging station around 350 miles and be prepared to sit for awhile.
Unless you go on road trips every single month which nobody does this isn’t an issue
When gas goes to $5 a gallon, how much will it cost you to fill up that ICE truck? Now think about $10 a gallon or about not being able to buy gas at all.
@@brownro214 electricity price isn't fixed either, it can go up any time and it most likely will go up.
Same thing as you say for gas - you may not find a charging station at all.
@Allan Cameron so I can recharge with the fossil fueled electricity and after 80000 miles dispose of the poisonous batteries.
Too bad the $40k base model will get marked up by dealers due to popularity and limited supply making it non-competitive with Rivian R1T and Cybertruck.
Chevys payload seems quite low - 1200#?? That’ll be the e biggest limit for towing too.
