PODCAST: TESLA PRODUCTION NUMBERS, GM SILVERADO AND EQUINOX EV, FORD F-150 LIGHTNING PRICING, MORE

EV Channels Review

The Electrek Podcast discusses the recent unveilings of the Chevrolet Silverado EV and Equinox EV. The Silverado EV, while boasting a 400-mile range and innovative features like the Multi-Flex Midgate for extended storage, receives criticism for its polarizing front-end design, which is compared unfavorably to the Chevy Bolt. The interior is deemed functional but not luxurious, with material quality noted as similar to the Bolt. A significant point of contention is the vehicle's late 2023/2024 model year release, a year after the Ford F-150 Lightning. The Equinox EV, conversely, is praised for its sharp design and a game-changing starting price of around $30,000, though specific specs remain undisclosed. The podcast also touches upon Tesla's record Q4 production numbers, Ford's F-150 Lightning pricing complexities and dealer markups, and the Wallbox Quasar 2 bidirectional charger.
