DRIVING THE 2024 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV RST FIRST EDITION - 440 MILE RANGE KING (POV REVIEW)

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition is presented as a capable, long-range electric pickup, boasting an impressive 440 miles of range and a powerful 754 hp/785 lb-ft drivetrain. The reviewer highlights its practical features, including 4-wheel steering for maneuverability, a versatile bed with power outlets, a front trunk (frunk), and the ability to power external devices or even a home. The interior is noted for its spaciousness and large infotainment screen. However, the review points out that the large, high-pressure 24-inch wheels and tires, while aesthetically pleasing, compromise handling dynamics and ride comfort, leading to a sensation of the tires giving up before the chassis in corners. The reviewer also expresses a slight dissatisfaction with the 'Batman button' requirement for full power, preferring all performance to be immediately accessible. Despite these drawbacks, the Silverado EV is seen as a significant step in bringing mainstream consumers into the EV market due to its utility and range.
