THE SILVERADO EV LT EXTENDED RANGE IMPRESSES US IN COLD WEATHER! 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range was subjected to a rigorous 70 mph highway range test in challenging cold-weather conditions (20s Fahrenheit) with moderate wind. Despite these adverse factors, the truck achieved a respectable 310 miles of range, with an efficiency of 1.7 miles per kilowatt-hour. The reviewer highlighted the truck's "heat scavenging" feature for cabin heating and praised the Super Cruise system for its comfort and performance on pre-mapped highways, though noting its limitations. The vehicle's 170 kWh battery, while not the largest available, proved capable, and the reviewer was pleasantly surprised by the ease of charging after running the battery down, a common issue with GM EVs. While the 310-mile result is considered disappointing by some standards, the reviewer emphasizes that it's a solid outcome given the poor conditions, potentially outperforming the Hummer EV and rivaling the Rivian Max Pack in real-world scenarios. The as-tested price of $85,000 was noted as significant.
