The 2024 Silverado EV Is Solid, Expensive, and Totally Cool | Silverado EV Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2023
- Chevy says the future of the Silverado is electric and I [Alex] flew to Michigan to see what that means for one of the best selling trucks in America. Top line? What it means is a more expensive truck with unique features found nowhere else and plenty of unanswered questions. Let's dive in.
What is it? The 2024 Silverado EV is NOT a converted Silverado like we see in the F-150 and upcoming RAM BEV. Instead, this is a ground up clean-sheet 21st century pickup truck design. Think of it as a re-imagining of what a truck could/should be. Yes, it's a unibody truck. No, that's not a problem. The unified battery-body-structure of the truck yields improved rigidity, more stable towing, and (likely) improved off-road capability in the upcoming off-road versions. This is distinctly different form the Ford and RAM that use the same body mated to a new EV-specific frame.
Chevy has opted not to disclose the battery capacity, but its likely the same 212 kWh battery that the Hummer truck uses, but the Silverado is much, much more efficient. Chevy says that the 24-module versions will be EPA rated for 450 miles, and although we don't have the final numbers, highway range is likely to be over 400 miles. This is thanks to better aero and the bigger battery vs the Lightning.
Power for the work truck version will come from de-rated motors vs the consumer versions, although 510 HP and 615 lb-ft is still pretty healthy. Towing capacity has been revised up to 10,000 lbs of SAE certified towing (up from 8,000).
Speaking of power, you can off-board 10.2 kW of 120/240V AC power from the Silverado via the onboard outlets and the J1772 (charge connector) breakout box. Looking for an auto-house backup solution? Chevy doesn't have an answer yet.
Curb weight? A whopping 8,532 pounds. Ouch. Remember that the RST will have more creature comforts and the mid-gate option which should bump weight close to 9,000 lbs.
Sooo, how much will it cost? Well, at the start $77,990 plus destination will get fleet customers the WT trim with the big battery. Not a fleet customer? Too bad, you can't buy one. A fully-loaded RST First Edition will be $105,000. Ouch. How about the smaller battery (~167 kWh) work truck version? Only a small discount happens there putting it at $72,905.
What does that mean for the all-electric future of the Silverado? Likely higher MSRPs all around. The base model will likely start around $55,000+. What do you think? Are you team Lightning? Silverado? RAM? Cybertruck?

Great review as always! But for $70,000+ for a work truck version... That's just crazy...
Yea they lost me at the price. I’ll stick with my 22 Silverado. They can keep these overpriced microwaves.
Yeah. It makes no sense to me.
Yup…
Nobody's forcing you to buy it. Cheaper EVs are still several years away. It's a bit like the first wide screen TV. It was never cheap.
Bizzarre that the worktruck edition DOESNT get the mid gate option
RST buyers are not using trucks as trucks....so yea bizzare to me too
It’s almost like the folks who decide the build and design of these things don’t actually do real work 😂
Seems logical to me. Mid-gate is expensive and WT needs to be “cheap” and basic 🤷🏼♂️
@@LakeLake123 WT should also have the larger capacity, and a bed they can easily replace when it gets trashed by hard labor.....
@@LakeLake123 yes, because a $78,000 WT is "cheap" 😛
Full size trucks have gotten silly expensive in the past few years, so 55 to 105 isn't really so out of the ordinary unfortunately. That being said, it seems like they're really aiming at dealing with the criticism that EV trucks can't do "truck stuff".
True. Was at a GMC dealer recently and a top of the line (gas) Sierra is pushing 100k. When did pickups start getting so bling?
When people started buying them for "fun" instead of work
@@dwnrange7812 On one hand they're following the market, people keep demanding more stuff. On the other hand making them more "luxury" means they can get more margin. Bit of a chicken and the egg problem.
I see the embargo was lifted 4 hours ago. I choose to watch Alex and his review. Kyle and others don’t measure up. Thank you for your excellence.
So heavy, so powerful, so much instant torque: I don’t want to be around when social media distracted drivers start to rear-end people on the highway, shoot off at traffic lights and end up in the blink of an eye into ditches.
Instead of making a more efficient and light weight machine to increase range, let’s put an even bigger battery.
And btw, good luck changing tires every 6 months. And with all the pollution from said tires destroyed at 10x the speed of a regular vehicle.
This is interesting for some fleet customers but the price is crazy high for a basic work truck! Truck prices are just insane!
Its probably got an extended battery at that price. Most people just fine at 250 miles. I suspect towing range goes up when ultium moves to 4680s
@@BarryObaminable We must have way too many rich Grandpa's buying luxury trucks these days. I'm 37, make a good living, but there is no way I'm spending over $60,000 for any vehicle. Maybe $40,000 to $50,000. Prices are just nuts for vehicles! Wages aren't going up as much as prices are.
Chevy: See, our gas powered work truck is a huge bargain at $50k+
Until you have to fill that monstrous fuel tank at current prices
@@jamespaul2587 think of how much it will cost to run this thing too...and gas wont seem that much of a difference.
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 many small businesses will have their own charge station and much lower operating costs. High speed charging may be relatively expensive, but still less than filling a large tank with diesel or gasoline
@@jamespaul2587 for sure it will be less, but how much less vs inconveneinces of these vehicles depending on usage, as well as the capabilities of a gas or diesel truck are far superior to an EV truck.
these are essentially work vehicles, not pavement princesses. and thats one expensive work truck....a fleet can buy 2 work trucks for the price of one of these. the charging cost vs fueling wont be significant enough to justify the lack of ability for many.
the cost to charge this thing assuming 0-100 percent will range from $40-60
refueling a gas truck with a 30 gallon tank from empty to full will range from 90-110
assume 1 fill up/charge per week, that would be about $2600 in gas annually.
assuming they keep it for 5 years thats about 13k in fuel, vs $6500 in electric.
the EV truck will not save anyone money and have far less ability over a traditional pickup. also, since that bed is structural vs a frame based bolt on, now repairs can be more too.
these are not viable work trucks, or even cost effective.
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 agreed, but for many fleets the lower operating costs will justify the cost, if the EV suits their needs. This vehicle will not be produced in large volumes for some time and GM will have a long wait list for both the work truck and consumer versions
8500 lbs! insanity. I pray one of these never plows into me :(
The V2L breakout box you displayed was only 120V. The large connector was a TT-30 camper style plug, which is 30A at 120V.
Yes, not 240V. Because it looks like a 240V outlet, gets people every time. I am curious about that box though. Does it have an official name or GM part number?
My first condo cost less then than this. Great video as always Alex, you are my go to guy with all car reviews.
Alex, I waited and waited for Alexandra to get a word in edgewise and it never happened. 😉😉As far as the truck is concerned, all 4 door pickups should have a cabin this spacious. 🤩
Alex is the strong silent type
@@EVBuyersGuide 😂
Can't wait to see more of Alexandra... she looks like she's got a sense of humor just like Alex has :)
That is an Avalanche.
An electric crossover from Ford is called the Mustang. What did you expect from Chevy?
but nooooo....GM is innovative! LOL
Yes, and that's OK, totally OK
My mind breaks with the truck pricing these days. I guess I'm thinking how these are priced way outside of normal construction/trade workers. That being said I see plenty of those folks buying way more truck than they need.
I work in the auto industry and most people who buy big trucks already can't afford them, which is why they write it off as a business expense. I see it all the time. What's the difference here? Maybe it will prevent all those people who own trucks for no reason from buying one. At least EV's are so much more efficient.
Trucks are quasi luxury vehicles these days. Most people who drive them have little use for its truck capability. They're just giant people haulers.
I include myself in that group somewhat. I have a Bronco but I've only put it in 4WD once.
Friend said a ford f450 can cost $130,000 shrug
It is very expensive, although several other ICE trucks reach this price or more. However, because of such a large battery, this one can power your full house for about a week, or for a about 3 weeks if you only use the essentials like your refrigerator, lights, TV, PC/laptop, etc. but not such things as 5 ton air-conditioners. So that's something to keep in mind.
And I would imagine that those that use it for business that use a lot of electricity on off-sites, this might be perfect for them. No more generators needed or buying of the fuels needed for them, not to mention none of the the smell and noises from them.
12:50 Frameless dash screen with thick piano-black frame combined with thick-framed gray plastic center info screen... bit of aesthetics wouldn't hurt in $80k+ truck...
Respect for shooting the video despite the rain
Alex continues to make the best review videos ❤
Why can't automakers set all the details in stone at the same day they unveil their vehicles? Plz reply.
@@luiselapostolfeliz2421 sometimes they need to put it out in the world while they finalize
States should charge extra for registering EVs this heavy
I do like the look... but WOW!!!! The price is what will turn many people away until the price goes down some. This sill make the Lighting more appealing.
Looking forward to your separate video on the midgate opening. Especially when combined with shorter beds these significantly increase the utility of pickups.
You do an outstanding job with your work. Great review here!
$77k+? Bruh. 💀
I like the idea of the mid gate and I think this is a good looking vehicle. It has great specs but I’m wondering at the practicality of it when it needs such a larger battery to achieve them. If I wanted to tow I think I’d just stick with gas or diesel but other than that I think this would be a great truck if you can afford the consumer version. I’ve been wondering if a plug-in hybrid truck might make more sense for towing. You could drive electric most of the time and then have gas for when you tow. I’m a little surprised that so many people are aghast at the price. I met a construction worker the other day who had bought a model 3 performance because he got sick of paying for the fuel in his $80,000 Ram pick up. Obviously that was top of the line pickup, but this is new cutting edge technology.
I have a pre-order in on the Silverado. One of the main reasons I put an order in on it was the interior space, styling, towing capacity and potential range. However, at $80K and above, I'm not likely to make a final purchase when it becomes available. I'm onboard with a $50-55K price tag, but they better get the range up to at least 350 miles plus or I'll look elsewhere. A 2020 Tesla Model X will get 325 miles and I can get one of those in the $40K range - and it tows 5000 pounds. So, if you don't need the pickup bed ...........................
At that price, and without a Section 179 deduction, that's a hard no. GM has already priced their trucks, especially their top end versions, at the stupid money level. With no rebates or price cuts expected, this 40+ year GM driver is looking elsewhere.
Nice to hear about the packaging being much improved for front and rear legroom and storage. This is what EV's do far above gas engine packages and an area that GM hasn't been excellent at compared to Ford and Ram. GM is doing this right and could be class leading given the wheelbase. Getting the bed length right and an Avalanche style mid-gate is the right approach. Not happy about all the grey interior bits in this vehicle. It's still 1500 lbs lighter then the Hummer. GM HAS TO GET THIS VEHICLE RIGHT! IT'S THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURE! This will be the one that goes against Tesla's Cybertruck. The new kid versus established OEM truck knowledge and market? Room for both? We'll see.
I actually saw one coming through Michigan on the weekend. Can't remember if it was on I-69 or after we got onto I-94. The ideal market for these trucks are work trucks for contractors ... but they're priced way out of that fleet market. I suspect these will fly off the lots at the same rate the Lightning. (Read that any way you want to.)
1. First time I noticed the 8 lug wheels
2 . The bed/body one piece seems like it will have the expensive Rivian type repairs VS the traditional separation on the liftoff bed
3. The original Avalanche fold down seats were quit uncomfortable interesting to see how this will be resolved
8500lbs! Can you imagine the mayhem this thing will cause to roads and parking garages?! Please start taxing vehicles over 6k lbs.
5:48 PM, Great video as always Alex. Love the exterior styling, especially that sail panel behind the rear door. Love the large interior, adult sized backseat room. The only downside is the cost.
👋 to Alexandra. I have no need or garage space for a truck, but I like keeping track of what's going on in the EV world.
Great review. My understanding is that the 20 module battery pack will peak DC fast charge close to 300KW. My understanding is that the smallest battery pack will not be able to stack for DC fast charging so it will be limited to ~400VDC and peak out at roughly 190KW.
If I'm spending anywhere close to $70,000 for a truck I don't want it to be an EV. I would want lots of comfort, capability, towing, and hauling, with a gas or diesel engine! For $40,000 this would be a viable everyday truck for light tasks.
What type of drive cycle is used to achieve that 450 miles of EPA rated range?
Good review.
Just like all the other EVs out there, “sustainability“ expands the divide between the haves and have-nots and makes vehicle ownership much more expensive .
Maybe you're just looking at bad examples? My 2 year used Volt cost $18,900 and has been an excellent vehicle.
That independent suspension pays off seeing that the ride quality starts to put Alexandria to sleep at 24:20.
GOOD EV SILVERADO. RETIRED, 79, FREEDOM, USAF, VFW. TESLA CYBERTRK WITH SEMI DRIVE TRAIN, HIGH TORQUE THREE MOTORS, CRUSE LOW TORQUE ONE MOTOR, PULLS 14K.
Looks good but way too expensive. Weird the WT trim isn’t the starting trim.
Generally for EVs, I want a reliable 300 miles of range and the lightest battery pack possible. Have a optional high capacity/range pack but keep the average joe at 300 miles and keep working on making the pack lighter, more efficient, and faster charging with each revision cycle
If they offered this on the current generation T1 Suburban chassis with fully independent suspension, the usual 5.3/6.2/3.0 Duramax engine options from the Suburban, and called it an Avalanche, they would sell really well at a much more approachable price point. I would rather have a gas version of this truck with the mid gate instead of our current Silverado 1500. With the EV powertrain, the performance and range is impressive, but the pricing is too high relative to a comparable ICE truck.
I hope this is a pre-production truck because the tooling for the hood needs a redo as the front lip doesn't match either fender.
I wonder, should you put it in 'tow mode' to get a good range estimate when the bed is fully loaded?
Will Chevy offer the cab in a 2-door/2-seat version to have a proper, tailgate up, 8 foot bed?
I can understand having a good range for this truck. Joe Average wants to fill the vehicle, be it gas or electric, ONCE and then drive for at least a week before having to refuel.
This is definitely more to my liking and needs than the Lightening. I love the real world 450 miles of range.
450 miles uphill in the snow? I will wait for the real world test.
@@marklihsu -EPA CERTIFICATION is all you need for it to be legal.
Beautiful interior, very very good dashboard & center console layout!
Vinyl floor 👍👍👍
Shifter on the column is a huge deal!
Just one thing, please relocate the volume knob to the passenger side, please ...
EPB switch and other extra switches are well positioned and laid out too !
Additionally; Rectangular center display looks more beautiful than "weirdly-shaped" center display on the 2025 Tahoe
350 mile range is enough with super chargers available next year. The question is what is lowest price mid-gate silverado available?
This is officially my dream EV... Too bad I can't afford it 😔
77k for a work truck is crazy, Chevy going to find out quickly once the hype dies down and these sit on lots how crazy that is, already happening with the lightnings. Can get a ER lariat fully loaded for 68k with only 3k miles on it.
Keep in mind that the $77K is MSRP, wait until the stealerships mark them up and then you will be looking at $85K - $90K for a base version since GM will produce low numbers of these.
@@pnketia Ford got away with it because ther was no competition but they will be making hundreds of thousands by the time this comes to market and *should* have lower costs by then so I'd be suprised if they will get away with the same markups...we will see!
@@jonmarshall3414 The problem is that the OEMs are losing money on every single EV they build which is why they purposely limit the production of them. If it weren't for their ICE vehicle profits these companies would be getting downgraded by analyst. Even with increased volume they will still face challenges with profitability because of all the legacy costs they have racked up over decades.
@@pnketia true enough, hopefully they can scale up and lower costs quick enough
Battery tech is not getting cheaper because it's a worktruck.
I remember test driving a Chevy Avalanche back in 2001 when I needed to replace my Mazda Navajo. The things I remember about it were 1: it was way too jacked up- I'm 6ft tall and shouldn't need a handle to get into a vehicle. 2: it was horribly designed inside- my size 11 feet were cramped in the driver's foot well and didn't even fit in the second row and 3: it was so loud it might as well have been a convertible.
Here's hoping GM has made at least some improvements to the Avalanche design that they've turned into an EV.
The steering wheel may be more durable and stain resistant than leather. For $77K and as a work truck, it should have a wireless charging slot. I could see someone wanting to just throw their phone in the slot to make sure it stays charged throughout the day without having to plug and unplug it every time they drive to a different job site.
The battery is probably 50% of the bill of materials... it will be expensive no matter how large it is cause the battery costs so much
wireless charging should have been mandatory safety concern requirement ever since they had the capability decade ago, my 2012 Nokia had it, they are so slow with such simple easy improvement
Great, in-depth review, as always. I absolutely love the mid gate. I still own a 20 year old Chevy Avalanche...I keep hoping that Chevy may bring it back...even in hybrid guise.
I'm with you, I've owned an Avalanche since 2003 and love the mid-gate, among many other features it has.
@@cdstoc I wish there were enough of us for GM/Chevrolet to take notice and bring back a new Avalanche. I wouldn't mind if one was offered with the 3.0 liter diesel. :)
Until there is a far more significant charging network, range baby, range. For me having a 400 mile range is a great feature to have and especially when towing. I saw a video of a Rivian towing a mustang on a trailer and they had to stop every 100 miles, which is ridiculous. So far it looks like a much better vehicle than the Ford Lightning.
I think the eventual solution to the towing range problem will be motorized trailers. Give the trailer its own battery pack and motor, and have a universal connector you can plug into the truck that sends the throttle signal to the trailer so it can pull its own weight in sync with the truck. That way, the truck will still have its full range, and might even gain range if the trailer's load is light.
so i reserved a 2024 39K WT....last year...what is going to happen to my reservation?
The placement of the rear left charge port is important, to use Tesla Superchargers.
I was thinking, "Ok, maybe I'll eventually be able to justify an EV truck.". Starting at $77k+! Hell no. I will never pay that much for a vehicle.
That is not the starting price.
CAPEX is high but work trucks tend to have very high utilization which make the OPEX savings - both electric vs. gasoline and maintenance - rack up quicker.
Figure 25k mi/yr, 25 mpg, gas at $3/gal is $30k in gas alone over 10 years. EVs are usually 1/3 the cost of electricity which is $20k savings alone, before considering far lower maintenance costs.
Obviously that’s not time adjusted and at best breaks even in this example, but the point is many EVs can justify their higher CAPEX.
Oh yah, and you’re not destroying the planet we live on, so there’s that too.
I'm liking this truck a lot more than I expected to. It is expensive, but given the absolutely humungous battery, that's understandable. The specs are good, the range is really impressive, and I really like the styling, which I haven't been able to say about a GM truck in a very long time. I do hope there's a stripped-down, work-truck-like model available to the consumer market at some point. Chevy seems to be on a roll lately with the new EVs they're announcing - this, the Blazer EV, and the Equinox EV.
Dealership markups will be insane!
Great review. It’s an intriguing vehicle but for the price. I can’t see a fleet manager opting to spend 80k for a work vehicle when gas options a half the cost.
77k...outta your mind with that one
Work truck ... 80k !!! Man , who are those workers!! They can buy 2 tacomas which will eventually run for the life of the real worker without any nonscence !
I really have an issue with manufacturers refusing to provide specs about batteries -- it would be akin to ICE car manufacturers refusing to provide details about the engine under the hood. It wouldn't be acceptable then, it shouldn't be now.
Alexandra on Autos! 👋🏻👋🏻
I have one of these reserved, I'm pretty excited
LOL they say theres an ass for every seat, logical money be damned.
this is NOT worth 77k. not one bit of it. if it was a top tier fully loaded trim level, yes. this is a base model with some random extras. pretty pathetic for the price.
@@baldisaerodynamic9692 seems you may be in need of the same lesson we teach my 2 year old. “Don’t yuck someone else’s yum” and/or “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Mosey on partner. 🤠
I'm just trying to figure out why have a second person riding along if the main speaker doesn’t even try to engage them in the discussion.
The Lightning is a modified F-150 platform where GM Silverado EV BT1 is a EV from ground up next year.
Wait for Ford 2025 redesign.
The Ford F-150 Lightning is already being promised a redesign for the 2025 model year. Reuters mentioned this when discussing Ford’s production plans for the Lightning.
I like it a lot, but not having several features such as height-adjustable seats at that price is absurd. I guess all the money really goes into the huge battery
There is demand for a vehicle like this, but the price is killing it. I don’t think GM actually wants to sell these.
Reminiscent of the Ford Edsel.
Wow, they actually did it... now wow me: they can make a giant SUV, a hypermiling truck, now let's see GM pull off an economy EV. Maybe a hatchback?
They seemed to have something decent going with the Bolt before they got rid of it. I think the Equinox EV will be the new "basic" electric Chevy.
@@michaelramsey82 Still too much, too "old person", for someone just wanting something cheap and electric
I would like to see the sodium ion battery. Time the companies focused on the 800 pound gorilla, the battery versus the Lithium ion battery.
I like this smaller Silverado truck. The race to make pickup trucks the same size as a Peterbilt or Mack truck is overboard. If the truck performs well it does not have to be massive. I think the compensation race needs to slow down and this truck seems to fit that bill nicely. Thanks Alex!
Small !! 👀?... Where lol
Isn't this longer than the ICE Silverado?
I agree with sentiment but I looked it up and this is about the same size as a regular Silverado. To me it made Alex look small and he’s pretty tall.
I thought they were removing AA and CarPlay?
Waves @ Alexandra.
50% drop with load is very realistic. Price is hight but id they are able to ramp production, GM can reduce itds price but not by much.
The truck appears Hugh.
8,500 lbs! Holy mother of god! 500 hp is probably not huge…. You’re needs some real brakes.
Really need that 40k price point.
reminds me of fan-speculated concepts of tesla pickup before cybertruck revealed
Great hype !!! But GM has curtailed production or postponed it to a later date ! Please note F-150 Lightning reliability is questionable and as usual first model year vehicles have more issues. Will that happen to GM ?
ISMH, why are you bring you anything on the steering wheel? It's a Work Truck that gets dirty and needs to get cleaned and washed down. Don't expect much on a basic WT!
I like the high price...let the EV's continue to go higher...that is just going to delay more acceptance...we are YEARS away from EV dominance if the auto market. Besides their cost...we don't have sufficient power to charge them...we are years from having that, too!
I like the experimentation with a full EV platform, but the price is way too high. If the basic no-frills WT is at $77k USD, what does that mean for the regular LT consumer grade versions and above? If this was the case, the High Country Silverado EV would be firmly into Range Rover & G-wagon price range.
That is the long range option. Shorter range is much more affordable.
Did Chevy say anything about the camper shells?
Not a peep
Isn't 450miles way overkill for fleet/work trucks? EV delivery vans/trucks seem to be targeting about 1/2 that, reflecting their real world usage patterns.
And the battery weight your brake pads will wear out in 3 months rather than 3 years. Dont even start on tire wear. If you hit anything at speed, it be like a semi. These weigh a lot over a normal truck.
Aerodynamics does not account for the additional range. It simply has a bigger battery.
Everybody knows that you can get more miles if you increase the battery size, so, to quote Ted Lasso, "big whoop" on the range. On the other hand, I did reserve the cheapest version with 250 miles, but mostly for in town/around home work stuff, so I don't expect a lot of fast charging and/or quickness out of it. Too bad about the price, I might cancel if it goes significantly up. If it's still under 50k... ehh, we'll see. I said it then, and it was confirmed since, the F150 Litghning was too rushed to the market. That being said, I would have liked to get me one of them 40k versions (the Pro if I'm not mistaken), but I didn't move fast enough. That's when I made the reservation for the Silverado EV.
In any case, I'm still waiting on the Cybertruck. Not for the Ed Sheeran reason ("The Shape of You") but more for price/performance reasons, see how it stands against the legacy trucks in this respect.
An interesting video with an x Ford powertrain engineer who worked on the lightning&mach e pack's came out today on the my tesla weekend channel. It proves what you said to, rivian stunned them in mid 2018 with the r1t specs&prices.
Ford was apparently just about ready to announce the lightning programs specs&existence. And instead delayed it as they scrambled to redo the trucks packs&motors to better match the rivians announced specs. Makes me wonder what the all new ground up ev lightning will do in 2025.
Let’s hook up a cattle trailer full of cattle and see if it will make it to market and back. Gotta love a work truck that takes hours to recharge. EV’s are shoved down our throats and they are expensive, the mining of materials for batteries is environmentally destructive, recharging is a constant concern and on a recent test, an EV truck towed a boat 60 miles on a full charge. Sure, get me one. 😆 I’ll take my 5 minute fill up and not worry about my vehicle spontaneously combusting at 2 in the morning.
Almost $80K for a “work truck” with bare bone features and hard touch plastic on nearly every surface. What the actual fk? Who’s actually gonna spend $80K on this? Just buy the gas version and save that extra $40K to spend on decades worth of gas.
I would be so curious about how this electric truck draining battery in 100 Fahrenheit and 115f. ? No one talk about. I like to see test.
100f is much easier on a battery than 0f
Rear air conditioning vents to keep your workers happy. Definitely not a crime 😁😂😅
And maybe will encourage them to work harder
Is it just me, or do the little wheels and tires combo look comical from the side?
It's just you
I appreciate that Chevy put this out there, but the Avalanche "wing" thing and the overall exterior looks just kill it for me. Really unattractive truck. The unibody idea is a good one, especially given the size of the interior cabin and the amount of battery power they were able to get into it. Then there's the homely (trying not to say fugly) interior. And then they want $80K for the work version? Solid pass. In fact, I've forgotten it exists already. The Lightning was overpriced as well, but so are most trucks nowadays. And as long as people are dumb enough to keep buying them at those prices, the greedflation will continue. Maybe Ram's EV pickup (Revolution, I think they're calling it?) will be better design-wise, but I suspect the price will be just as stupid. I drive a Ram and I'd love to get into a large EV, but I'm not going to mortgage my house to do it.
Hi Alexandra! Alex and Alex... hmm. Should you rename the channel as "Alexes on Autos"?😀
If that vehicle gets 450 miles, it must weight 13,000 pounds due to the giant battery. Charging it could cost $100 or more. Ultium is no bargain.
gag omg how much for the base spec?!
Isn't the work truck the truck that would most likely benefit the most from a midgate? Why remove that option from that trim? no adjustable height but a motor-assisted telescopic steering wheel. Finally 80k is too much for a work truck.
Nice vehicle, but price gouging will keep this out of my driveway for sure.
Awesome looking truck. Great value.
