2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV In-Depth Review - Is This Electric Pickup Incredible or a Dud? 

But at a $100.000 bucks...what are monthly payments gonna be like?? Do car companys think everyone makes $500 an hour or wht?

Good luck driving a 9000 lb truck in sand or mud..

Going to be a sells flop. Just too expensive

I don’t understand this truck at all. Way too heavy and expensive. If you need to pull heavy, buy a diesel for less. Weight of a 1 ton, payload of a 1/2 ton, who can resist? Instead, why not go with a small commuter truck, Maverick sized, that can’t tow more than a utility trailer, but it costs $40k instead of 100k. I can’t see how the Silverado EV can ever be a volume seller. Thanks for the review, Steve.

Excellent Review as always!!! 😁

I did not like the look of the front end until I saw the work truck. Not only does it look better, but the 18" wheels are a huge improvement. I'm wondering if the mid bar is removeable when you open the mid gate and remove the rear window. At 2:45 it looks like it is removed. Otherwise I don't get why you would remove the rear window. The work truck would be my choice, but at $80,000 I don't see me replacing my current truck any time soon. With how I use a truck an EV would be a viable option.

Commenters dont understand this truck. People are paying 90k for 1/2 ton truck that never tows. But they like to say they can tow. Thats this truck. Will you tow, maybe? But can you tow yes.

Excellent video, I want to see the burn the tires off mode lol!!! Keep up the good work!!

I live just north of the Oshawa plant but didn’t realize they had a testing oval. It’s not shown on Google Maps but is on Apple Maps, north east corner of Stevenson and Phillip Murray

I agree with you on the regen, I want slight regen on with the option to increase it quickly to do my braking. The Model 3s that I have driven had max regen on and it was a jerky transition for me that reminded me of a SxS braking when you lift off the throttle.

Imagine what the repair on the 4 wheel steering and battery packs would cost. This is a unibody “truck” as well and the glass roof would be a no go for me.

Thanks for the great video. Lots of information. It will be interesting to see how these ev trucks evolve.

If the price was more reasonable I could see the trades using a work truck version. Being able to run your gear on site without needing a generator would be nice. As far as the RST . Having no choice but to have that enormous glass roof and giant wheels and tires. No thanks.

I can't even fathom how insanely expensive insurance will be on this truck.

I think the issue with the lack of wow on the interior is that we have seen 90% of it before with Blazer EV and Traverse and Equinox EV reviews. Personally I love the screens but I get it

At that price, I think the interior is good as it is. If they would have made it more fancy, you would be adding $1,000s to the price tag. It is already priced above what most people can afford.

The price is eye watering but I suspect that prices will drop as they get production rates up in the battery plant. The Bolt top trim was >$40k in 2018 and

Chevy trucks highest trim is called GMC, not disappointed with Chevy's RST trim!

Nice truck. Saw another one today on the road. The shape reminds me of my Avalanche. Of course, 95% of usage will be for the soccer moms taking the kids to practice.

Makes me want to hold onto my Ram 1500 Tradesman Hemi even more. Was $32k brand new in 2020 and paid it off early. Simple enough to mod and maintain with enough power for what I need and decent mpg and almost 600 mile range.

I hope that they will offer(at least as an option) towing mirrors. The original seems to be a bit small

Would be cool with a 6.2 and 6-speed manual

Recoup 100 miles of range in ten minutes of charging (if you can find a 350 kW charger). I can recoup 520 miles of range in five minutes when I fill up my gasoline truck.

Great and thorough review, however I'm in the "I want more buttons and less screen controls" camp. I feel the lack of sunroof cover and not-quite 6' bed are complete misses. You couldn't haul a ladder and kit in the back in the rain or snow without problems. 24" wheels means this isn't seeing offroad trips. At this price, no trailer backup assist? Sorry, just not worth it.

If you buy one can the dealership fix them? Or do you have to look around for a place that can

I'd like to see what it looks like without those side steps That's a piss poor payload capacity for a "full size" truck

I would hope now that they have this truck which is like our old Avalanche we owned and is now discontinued that they put a combustion engine in and sell it. I'd love to have this truck with a combustion engine or maybe make it as a hybrid like Ford has done with their F150.

A good fair and square review but the part that burns me is the entry level base truck is only available to the big fleet buyers not the average joe dirt that does all the living and dying in America hey GM my money is just as good as the big fleet buyers not asking for a hand out just a square deal

Only way the price of these new vehicles would be justified is if they come with a lifetime warranty bumper to bumper

***** Rented this truck for 9 days and the screen blackout and the AC gave out due to a HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGE which was prompt on the screen. I had no AC on a hot day while it was raining. I was in Texas when this all happened ***** Save your money until it’s fixed

Why don't they incorporate the left hand regen into the brake pedal?

What is the range in -20 degrees? Or when you want to pull a 9000 lb trailer? I’ll wait.

yup if you can find a fast charger,glorified updated avalance.24 inch tires those wont last long,and the cost to replace them.

This is pretty cool, 10ft bed is insane, just love my gas silverado too much.

EV Trucks aren't for me but I do find them interesting. Nice video.

gorgeous truck but price is...

I cant believe they didnt have a pull over for that glass roof of some sort....Just a take but come on.... Hello Common Sence !

The insane torque off the line was a fun novelty in the beginning but now it’s just kinda dumb

love to see the crash test on this truck. This trucks price reminds me of dealer addons to drive the price up and increase their profit.

Definitely interested….but not at that price.

It’s a nice looking nicer then ford lightning but for know I’ll stick with my baby duramax tim great video

Why can’t manufacturers make a brake pedal with a light resistance in the regen range, then an increased resistance in the mechanical range so you can feel in the pedal when you transition but make the actual vehicle braking smooth throughout the entire range? It would be the easy compromise between one pedal driving and normal driving, where you can tell when you are at max regen while braking and thus hold it there until you need more brake power and press harder for the brake pads to kick in smoothly.

yup one pedal driving coasting so much for stopping at red lights.

I like it

I mean, it definitely is by far the best electric truck, but TFL had to disconnect their trailer to charge it and that price is way too much. the range rivals a gas 1/2 ton towing, but recharging is still the same nightmare....

My only draw back on this truck is mud and water in my mind I can’t help but think k id get electrocuted if I get it in mud or do a creek crossing.

I hate the seats in all the truck brands. I'm shocked at how clueless manufacturers have been when it comes to comfort and ergonomics. Something simple like extending the length on the seat to cover more leg area (hamstring support....?), they still have not integrated, but yet I can buy a car or SUV for a fraction of the cost and it has more comfortable seats. RAM in my opinion has the most comfortable seats just because of the length, the seat is roughly 2 to 3 inches from my knees offering a lot more support, where as Ford and GM have shorter seats. Those short seats end up putting more pressure on your lower back and especially on longer drives it becomes uncomfortable.

All the extra features being built into trucks is the issue with price. Unless the prices come down significantly and charging speed is increased electric will never become a normal. To even say a 100k truck will become widespread is plain stupid, the average person will never afford this.

That’s a nice looking vehicle with many great features. Unfortunately it s priced way out of reach of normal people. Even if charging infrastructure was good, this should be around $60,000 to be competitive with F150 XLT 4x4 in Atlanta market. Lack of charging should mean it should be really selling no more than $50,000. Who is going to buy this?

At $96k it’s a complete dud. Look at the size of the domestic EV market. Now scale it back to just the EV truck market. Now segment that into Tesla, Rivian, Ford and GM fans. Congratulations on selling 3 units per year, GM. Good work!

Pillage from TFL much? 2:49. Lol, too funny

This thing is awesome if you ignore the weight and the price. The latter is a pretty big dealbreaker for most folks. The former is going to become a big issue once these start getting in accidents.

👍

Take this all day over the cyber trash.

I'm not an EV enthusiasts or anything like that, but I do understand reality and the engineering and construction of an electric truck is of course superior to a ICE truck...The only issue is how it gets power...Battery technology is really not where it needs to be yet to make electric vehicles a no brainer...I actually really like that Silverado and have caught some flak for embracing it...But as a former Navy mechanic, I really don't care who gives me flak about it because the advantages from a wrench head standpoint is clear and obvious...But I would not have an electric vehicle as my only daily now or ever...It will only be a support or backup 2nd vehicle...So far it looks like GM has learned from the electrical issues from their Hummer EV and made the correction in this Silverado so that it wouldn't leave you stranded with zero power...That's my biggest issue, even though there is a process to get it back up again that the owner can do in just a few minutes, but it should never have to come to that...I can see myself in fantasy land owning one of those Silverados to sit next to my tried and trusty 2016 Buick Enclave ICE vehicle which is my number one driver...

I will never understand people who get an electric truck for towing. It’s like getting a 22 rifle for killing a moose. Wrong tool for the job.

a great calm peaceful towing experience while you wait for it to charge for 45 minutes every 200 miles. Tow an RV around the country then tell me how great it is.

nope to super cruise or fords version how can you pay attention when hands arnt on wheel you ca doze off.

Can you imagine the price down the road for batteries. Recently, someone I know was quoted 62k for replacing batteries on a 2009 ford hybrid. Thats a hybrid, imagine a full EV.

Every truck designer knows that weight is the enemy.

👍🏿👊🏾😊

Just what we need faster vehicles on the road…..

Dud.

Imagine being t-boned by a 9000lb truck with 800hp. 😂

If it came with a V8, I’d buy one right now

Better than the Ford.

Looks like an Avalanche

Until the prices are slashed in half, I would never buy an electric truck.

Electric trucks are for man-children with bewbs who average about 14,000mg of soy by lunchtime.

You know they tried electric vehicles 80 - 90 years ago you know what they did not have the demand. Guess GM has not learned any lessons from Ford F-150 EV. At $100k they are never selling these to anybody but, people in the city like me. Tell you what I am not buying any EV truck or car give me a GM diesel powered 2500 with max tow for my $100k. GM needs to send these EV trucks straight to the car crusher.

Darn glass roof only is simply idiotic lol!!!! Not being able to shade it is really what's dumb lol!!!!

Still have along way to go. Weight, charging, price and most of all not knowing when it may self combust!!!

IMO the only way EV trucks make sense for normal is if they increase the battery warranty significantly. 100k truck with a battery warranty of only 8 years or 100k miles. Most people will be scared to own one of these outside of warranty. Which means resale is going to be horrible. Who can afford to gamble 50k on a 4-5 year old truck with 101k miles on it? Lets be realistic. EVs currently are throw away vehicles. Meaning when the battery goes, repair/replacement costs more than the vehicle is worth. Ironic that they push them as green. Lots of older vehicles still on the road with their second or third engine. Almost no one is going to be willing to put a 30-40k battery into a 5 year old truck that's worth maybe 50k. Worse, Imagine buying a used one and owing 30k on it only to be told it needs a 30k repair to be usable. The warranty needs to be better. At least 160k miles 12 years

god id have to learn a new math kilowat hours to km or mies per gallon id get bad head aches,nope ill never be a electric vehicle fan boy

Worst thing Chevrolet could have dun..

It’s going to be a big failure like the $100k hummer

Can you say ……..Avalanche ????

I like this truck very much, electric is the future.

Hands down my favorite product It's all I recommend to my customers

I’ll buy it in 3 years when it has lost 70% of it’s value

Avalanche EV

No truck or car is worth $90k-100k at any configuration. Only stupid people with too much money will buy posers!

Quit promoting this ev crap. We all know the range is tiny with any trailer. Combine with cold weather and you will be lucky to have 100 miles of range.

I would destroy that thing in months, not yesrs. EVs are not mesnt for hauling or towing, and they definitely aren't durable for ranch work. My biggest fear would be a battery fire on the ranch after all the jostling and backcountry workouts. No thanks. It's another poser truck.

Stop the EV bull! Nobody wants one period! Unless you’re a battery maker in China!

What a ridiculous product to market and also make a video about. No one is buying this aside from 5 dudes that are too busy to watch RU-vid lol

Chevy EV: too late, too expensive, too ugly, too 💩.

And here I was.. hoping your channel would help rational people boycott EV’s. Disappointing…

what an absolute garbage "sponsored" review, shame that Truck king has fallen so far in such a shot time, and here I thought Roman from TFL was the biggest douche bag.

Why are you guys showing these garbage EV vehicles. No body bought into this nonsense and corruption. Absolute corruption in Ontario.

Tires will be good for 20k😅😅
