2024 CHEVY SILVERADO EV RST FIRST DRIVE REVIEW: A LOT TO ASK AT $96,000

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is a technologically advanced electric truck with impressive range and unique features like the "Wow Mode" and a versatile midgate, offering up to 440 miles of EPA-estimated range. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, powerful acceleration (especially in Wow Mode with nearly 750 hp), and capable towing performance, noting minimal range loss comparable to gas trucks. However, the high price tag of $96,000 is a significant hurdle, and the interior, despite its space, lacks the premium feel expected at this price point, feeling somewhat utilitarian. The proprietary Google-based infotainment system, while functional and offering excellent navigation, omits Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which may deter some buyers. The reviewer remains uncertain if these advancements are enough to sway traditional truck buyers away from gasoline counterparts, suggesting that while it's a strong start for GM's EV truck lineup, it might not be a definitive game-changer yet.
