OUR NEW SILVERADO EV RST INTRO & REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an in-depth look at the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition, highlighting its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and impressive acceleration, especially in 'Watts Mode'. Key features like four-wheel steering, the large infotainment screen, and the Bose audio system are praised. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the soft tonneau cover, finding it flimsy and prone to flapping. The reviewer also notes the absence of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a feature present on the work truck trim but omitted on the RST, which is seen as a significant drawback despite the capable native Android Automotive OS. The interior is described as functional and sporty rather than luxurious, with a comparison drawn to the more upscale GMC Sierra EV. Real-world efficiency figures are presented, showing 1.7 miles/kWh lifetime average in colder weather and 2.6-2.7 miles/kWh in milder conditions, attributed to the truck's weight and battery size. Lease deals are discussed, with the 2024 RST First Edition offering a significantly lower monthly payment ($892 with taxes/fees capitalized) compared to a 2025 model.
