CHEVY SILVERADO EV 10 TO 80% CHARGING ANALYSIS & ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive analysis of the Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck's charging performance and road trip efficiency. The reviewer highlights the impressive 10% to 80% DC fast charging capability, achieving this in just 38 minutes despite cold weather conditions (around 30°F). The truck consistently pulled high speeds, peaking at 347 kW and delivering 161 kWh, which the reviewer notes is more than an entire Rivian Max pack. However, the high cost of this charging session at a Pilot station (69 cents/kWh, totaling $115) is a significant drawback, as these stations are not part of the EVgo discount plan. Road trip efficiency was reported as around 1.5-1.7 miles per kWh, influenced by speed (allegedly 14 mph over the limit) and hilly terrain. While the charging speed is praised, the high energy cost is a major concern for potential buyers, especially those planning to use the truck for towing, where rapid charging is essential.
