THE 2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV WT IS AN OVERPRICED, BUT CAPABLE WORK TRUCK

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV WT, a work truck variant of Chevy's new electric full-size pickup. While acknowledging its impressive capabilities, including a substantial 450-mile range and standard AWD with 500 horsepower, DeMuro finds the $74,000 starting price for the base WT model to be significantly overpriced given its spartan interior and lack of features. He highlights the spacious cabin and excellent infotainment system as positives, but criticizes the basic materials, absence of heated seats, wireless charging, and advanced driver assists. The reviewer notes that while the truck is highly capable, its appeal to traditional work truck buyers, who may not yet be sold on EVs, is questionable. He suggests that competitors like the Rivian R1T offer more style and features for a similar price, making the Silverado EV WT a tough sell despite its impressive range and power.
