I TESTED THE CHEVY SILVERADO EV TRUCK… MORE MILES IS BETTER?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer tests the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST trim, highlighting its impressive 440-mile range and unique features like the versatile midgate, which allows for expanded cargo space and even camping. While praising the truck's comfortable ride, excellent handling, and strong acceleration (0-60 in 4.1 seconds), the reviewer notes some drawbacks. The interior, despite being the top trim, is criticized for cheap plastic and tacky air vents. The infotainment system is deemed average (C-tier), with laggy cameras and limited functionality. The reviewer also points out the lack of a locking differential on this version, which is a significant omission for an off-road capable truck. Despite these criticisms, the Silverado EV's utility, especially the midgate and extensive power outlets, earns it high marks for features. However, the steep starting price of $96,000 for the First Edition RST is a major deterrent, leading to a C-tier rating for overall value. Ultimately, the reviewer considers it a great truck for those needing a workhorse with substantial range, but questions its affordability.
