MY BUDDY BOUGHT A NEW CHEVY SILVERADO EV! THIS THING WILL HAVE THE MILES PILED ON IT

EV Channels Review

This video introduces Dave, a roofing company owner, and his new Chevrolet Silverado EV LT with the extended range battery. The primary focus is on why Dave chose this specific EV truck for his top sales representative, who racks up 200-300 miles daily. Dave highlights the Silverado EV's comfortable ride, ample range (estimated 400 miles, with 330-350 miles at 80% charge), and the significant cost savings compared to diesel trucks in terms of fuel and maintenance. He praises the truck's engineering and driving dynamics, comparing it favorably to other EVs like the Cybertruck and Ford F-150 Lightning, particularly for its larger battery. However, a major drawback identified is the lack of aftermarket accessories for the bed, making it difficult to find truck caps or toolboxes. The high MSRP of $75,000 for the LT trim is also noted as a significant investment, though Dave secured a deal and utilized a business tax rebate. The reviewer also touches upon the complexities of dealership financing and the absence of Super Cruise on this model, which is seen as a miss for a vehicle at this price point.
