THE CHEVY SILVERADO EV RST JUST BROKE THE MOLD

EV Channels Review

The Chevy Silverado EV RST is presented as a groundbreaking electric truck, potentially the best on the market, despite its substantial $100,000 price tag. The review highlights its impressive 440+ mile range, exceptional efficiency (0.38 coefficient of drag), and a highly modular design featuring the innovative Multi-Flex Midgate, allowing for an extended bed length up to nearly 11 feet. The RST trim boasts over 750 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds, and offers up to 10,000 lbs of towing capacity. Key advantages include its spacious interior, advanced features like Super Cruise, and a robust off-board power system. However, a notable drawback is the placement of the charge port, which can complicate charging when towing a large trailer. The reviewer also notes a persistent low-speed hum that disappears above 25 mph. Despite these points, the Silverado EV RST is lauded for its capability, range, and its position as a strong contender, possibly surpassing the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T in practical metrics for truck buyers.
