RAN IT TO DEAD! CHEVY SILVERADO 3WT (~180KWH) 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV 3WT Work Truck underwent a rigorous 70 mph highway range test, ultimately achieving 329 miles before reaching full drivetrain power loss. While this falls slightly short of the projected 360 miles (and significantly less than the 4WT's 430 miles), the result is heavily attributed to brutal, persistent headwinds encountered on the return leg of the test, which drastically reduced efficiency. The reviewer noted the truck's comfortable highway cruising and impressive regenerative braking, but highlighted concerns about unpolished software, particularly regarding charging inconsistencies and the lack of advanced driver-assistance features like lane centering, which necessitated constant manual steering in strong crosswinds. Despite these drawbacks, the Silverado EV 3WT is deemed a capable work truck with substantial highway range, especially when considering the challenging conditions and the smaller 180 kWh battery pack compared to higher trims.
