HERE'S HOW FAR THE CHEVY SILVERADO EV RST GOES IN COLD & WINDY CONDITIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST underwent a rigorous 70 mph highway range test under challenging conditions, including strong winds (25-40+ mph), cold temperatures (40s-50s F), and a brief period of snow. Despite these adverse factors, the truck achieved an impressive 378 miles of range, falling short of the EPA estimate of 440 miles but significantly outperforming other electric trucks in similar tests. The reviewer highlighted the excellent performance of the Super Cruise system, which handled the difficult conditions adeptly. However, a major drawback identified is the vehicle's inability to restart after being discharged to 0% state of charge, requiring a recharge to at least 7% (approximately 15 kWh) before it will turn on, a process described as inconvenient. Efficiency was also a concern, with the RST achieving only 1.7 miles per kWh, worse than the Silverado EV Work Truck (2.0 mi/kWh) due to its larger wheels and less favorable conditions.
