CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV 70 MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST delivers an impressive highway range, exceeding its EPA combined rating by achieving 441 miles at a constant 70 mph. The reviewer highlights the massive 200+ kWh battery pack as the key enabler, noting that it likely holds more usable capacity than advertised, as evidenced by the energy pulled during the test. While the truck's efficiency is moderate at 2.0 miles per kWh, its sheer range makes it a compelling option for those prioritizing distance, especially for work-related tasks like towing and hauling where range is critical. The reviewer also touches on the vehicle's weight, stiffer ride due to suspension and high tire pressure, and notes that while it's not as quick or refined as the Ford F-150 Lightning, its range advantage is substantial. The charging experience is also praised, with the truck capable of sustaining high charging speeds.
