2024 CHEVY SILVERADO EV, BLAZER EV AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers significant developments in the EV space, with a deep dive into the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. The reviewer highlights its Ultium platform basis, shared with the Hummer EV, and impressive performance figures for the RST trim, including 664 horsepower and a 4.5-second 0-60 time. Key features like over 400 miles of range, 350 kW fast charging, and four-wheel steering are praised, along with the innovative midgate feature. However, the reviewer expresses strong reservations about the RST trim's steep starting price of $105,000, questioning its value proposition against the Hummer EV and even a fully loaded F-150 Lightning. The potential for a more affordable $40,000 work truck version in 2025 is noted as a more compelling prospect. The update also touches on Ford doubling F-150 Lightning production, the upcoming Equinox EV and Blazer EV, and various concepts from Cadillac, Sony, Chrysler, VW, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, alongside a promising battery technology claim from a startup.
