OWNER REVIEW | EVERYTHING I LOVE & HATE ABOUT MY SILVERADO EV AFTER 7 MONTHS & 8,000 MILES

EV Channels Review

After seven months and nearly 8,000 miles, the Silverado EV RST owner expresses strong satisfaction with its impressive range (475 miles predicted on max battery), excellent maneuverability thanks to four-wheel steering, and a smooth, quiet ride comparable to a Cadillac. The versatile midgate/flex gate system and ample front trunk storage are highlighted as significant advantages. Charging speed is also praised, with the max battery capable of 350 kW, enabling a 10-80% charge in 38 minutes. However, the owner points to several drawbacks: a high MSRP (though more affordable trims exist with tax credits), the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the truck's large size posing parking challenges, and interior materials not quite matching the premium price point. Concerns are also raised about the relatively short 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty and the unknown long-term reliability and repair times for such a new vehicle. Despite these issues, the owner has encountered few problems, with only pinched window seals noted as a common defect.
