  • This week I borrowed the Silverado EV WT from GM Canada. We put it on the hoist, talk range, talk features, and more! Watch until the end as we discuss a lot at the end of the video!

    Great video, incredible monster of a vehicle. So crazy that it's so big, so heavy, but so powerful.

      @@FraserGoodTimes It can do it all, just a little long to charge on road trips. But you get more range in the same amount of time than you would with a Lightning.

    Everyone talks about the weight like it’s super crazy. Now she’s definitely a heavy girl but nothing crazy. I had a 2500 Ram Cummins that came is a 8000 pounds. A that didn’t have regen. The engine brake falls woefully short of EV regen.

      Yup my Dad's F250 Diesel is 8000lbs too, but this is supposedly a 1/2ton class truck. An ICE 1/2ton weighs about 5500lbs. The Lightning is 6700lbs. At 8474lbs, this is pretty heavy...

    212kwh and 3.8 tons is insane, at least for my european mind. You could turn that into at least two normal sized cars lol. I wonder if taking a few inches of legroom and turning it into a longer bed would be more useful for a "work" truck. Seems like trucks from 20 years ago had a better form factor for the kind of buyer this vehicle is inteded, or at least marketed, towards.

    • @livewirereview

      I was thinking the same! 6 seats, less leg room, more bed.
      It is a little much. The battery is so big that it was actually difficult to charge it up any significant amount.
      You could make 3 cars with what this truck is made of!

    I love how the work truck gets a spare tire below the bed but the 100k version of the Silverado EV doesn't get a Spare or Android Auto/apple car play.
    GM what were you thinking?

      😅 That sounds like the higher trim Hyundais that come with a compressor and slime instead of a spare tire.

    I am very close to buying this truck. When you say you could only charge 25% overnight was that on the GM PowerUP level 2 charger that plugs into a RV 40 amp outlet? Thanks!

    • @livewirereview
      @livewirereview  9 дней назад

      Nope. I only had access to a 16a 240v charger that puts out 3.7kw. You'll do much better with 40amps but still only about 55 to 60% overnight.
      But 55 to 60% will get you a very considerable distance! That's about 400+km easily.

      @joshbrittain7167 I own the RST trim level. The MAX battery pack (205KWh) does charge at 380KW and keeps over 300KW between 15 and 65 SOC and slowly drops from there. I have a 60 amp circuit feeding a tesla combo wall unit and have it set to 48 amps and I get about 24 miles added every hour. I have used a 80 amp charger at work and at 19KW charging I add about 34 miles per hour. These are very respectable and capable charging vehicles. The extended battery pack (180KWh) have a slightly lower battery pack peak voltage and gets about 20% less DC fast charging speeds (peak should be about 310KW) To go back to your question a 40 amp outlet will charge (80% rule) at 32 amps which will get you 7.2 KW charging. I consider that to be very usable for overnight charging. BTW I keep my SOC limit to 65% for every day use and only adjust when I plan road trips. And when I am on the road trip that is over 500mi I only charge to 80% as a rule of thumb. The GM NAV system is very good at placing you at chargers for the shortest time to charge. GM hit this out of the park with these pick up trucks. They tow very nicely and are smooth to drive. I sold my chevy duramax 1500 and do not miss it at all. The RST EV is a better truck. Good luck with your decision.

    lmao - The truck has radars, camera, adaptive cruise, crazy computers and sophisticated software... but screw you humans, no heated anything for you. *Get back to work!*

    It seems that you are describing Canadian tesla sc deployment is much further behind than the US. I am unsure how up to date your experiences are with charging non-tesla's. The only reason that tesla V2 are proprietary to tesla only is that every v2 charging site is hardware incapable to CCS communications which tesla and elon switched to in 2022 models. Any tesla vehicle produced before 2022 needs a hardware port controller upgrade (which tesla does not offer for free) to communicate via CCS communications protocol (V2 chargers cannot do that). This means that the new J3400 standard uses only CCS communications and not tesla proprietary communications even though the cable design comes from tesla and tesla models produced before 2022 are not compatible to J3400 chargers. So in the end older tesla models will not be able to use non-tesla chargers when we switch over to J3400 without paying for a hardware upgrade to their car.

    • @livewirereview
      @livewirereview  8 дней назад +1

      Yes that is all correct. Luckily the hardware upgrade is inexpensive for most models. But it still leaves Tesla owner's that CAN charge at CCS stations an advantage over other OEM EVs.
