Video Summary
Here is the summary of the electric car review:The Silverado EV is in its second model year, with more affordable trim levels and various battery options for 2025. Initially, retail customers only had a choice between black or white fully loaded, first edition RST models priced at nearly $100,000. Now, there is the LT Extended Range entry point, priced from about $75,000, qualifying it for a $7,500 federal tax credit.
Battery options include Extended Range and Max Range, spanning between 390 and 460 miles. The $10,000 premium package is a must-have, including features like the Multi-Flex Midgate and Super Cruise. A midgate design similar to that of the Avalanche is standard in the premium package. The 22-inch wheels and more powerful onboard charger, included in the premium package, reduce the total driving range by 18 miles, to 390. Without the premium package, it could take almost 12 hours to get the battery fully charged at 240 volts. The RST trim continues, and for 2026 is replaced with the new Trail Boss model, and fleet-minded work trucks will start around $55,000.
While heavy and long, the Silverado EV has excellent handling, torque electric motors and a quiet cabin, and in Wow mode, has down-right silly acceleration (0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds). The review concludes that the Silverado EV is truly an excellent truck.
