ELECTRIC 1/2 TON BATTLE: 2022 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING VS 2024 CHEVY SILVERADO EV

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive comparison between the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning and the upcoming 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV, highlighting key differences in their market entry, performance, and specifications. The F-150 Lightning is noted for its earlier market availability and potential for federal tax credits, offering up to 563 horsepower and a 10,000-pound towing capacity. Its battery options are derived from the Mustang Mach-E, with usable capacities of 98 kWh and 131 kWh, yielding an estimated range of up to 300 miles. The Silverado EV, while launching later, boasts superior power figures (up to 664 horsepower) and a significantly larger 200 kWh Ultium battery, promising an estimated 400 miles of range and faster charging due to its 800-volt architecture. The reviewer favors the Silverado EV's modern interior design and innovative features like the midgate, but expresses disappointment in its initial high-end, expensive trims and lack of immediate tax credit eligibility. The F-150 Lightning is praised for its more traditional truck bed and immediate tax credit availability, though its infotainment system is described as less responsive than the Silverado EV's projected system. Ultimately, the Silverado EV is seen as the more technologically advanced and potentially more capable truck, but the F-150 Lightning offers greater immediate accessibility and affordability for consumers.
