CHEVY SILVERADO EV RST POV TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is presented as a premium electric truck, offering a significantly more upscale interior experience compared to the Work Truck variant, featuring larger screens and higher-quality materials. The reviewer highlights the responsive acceleration and the effectiveness of the one-pedal driving system, even on steep inclines. The Super Cruise system is praised for its hands-free capability, even while towing, though its lane-changing behavior is noted as sometimes unpredictable. The reviewer finds the handling improved over the Work Truck, but notes increased tire noise from the large 24-inch wheels. A key point of contention is the vehicle's high MSRP of $96,000, with the reviewer suggesting that GM should offer incentives, similar to those on the Work Truck models, to make it more accessible. Despite the price, the reviewer is impressed by the truck's power (750 hp), range (440 miles for 2024, 460 for 2025), and fast-charging capabilities (800v, 350 kW), calling it a major accomplishment. However, concerns about depreciation and the high cost prevent a full endorsement at current pricing.
