WE GO HANDS-ON WITH THE BRAND-NEW CHEVY SILVERADO EV WORK TRUCK: HERE'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck presents a compelling, albeit expensive, vision for the future of electric pickups. The "4WT" model tested boasts an impressive official range of 450 miles, a segment leader, and offers substantial power with 515 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in a respectable 6.3 seconds. The interior, while basic for a work truck, offers immense passenger space and a comfortable ride, aided by a long wheelbase. However, the "Work Truck" designation is reflected in its features, lacking amenities like rear-wheel steering, air suspension, or the mid-gate found on higher trims. Payload is rated at 1422 lbs, and towing capacity is up to 10,000 lbs (12,500 lbs for the 3WT). The most significant hurdle is the price, with the 4WT starting at $79,800 including delivery, a figure the reviewers found breathtaking, especially considering it's currently fleet-only with potential for fleet discounts and government incentives. While the EV platform offers reduced maintenance and potential for future software updates (like NACS charging), the high initial cost and work-truck focus limit its immediate appeal to individual buyers.
