Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video:- The Silverado EV shares its basic architecture with the Hummer EV.
- Unlike the Hummer, the Silverado EV is a more subdued and traditional truck.
- Unlike Rivian, Tesla, and Ford, Chevrolet is launching the stripped-down base model work truck version first.
- The base model has two electric motors front and rear, meaning it has standard four-wheel drive.
- The work truck is restrained with 500 horsepower and 615-pound feet of torque. The RST version will have 750 horsepower.
- This truck goes from 0-60 in the low 5-second range.
- It can do 450 miles of driving between charges in optimal conditions.
- With the right conditions, it can add 100 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes.
- The base model starts at $74,000.
- It has 233 inches long, which is the same size as the Ford F-150 Lightning.
- The interior of the base model is spartan and basic.
- The work truck model lacks many features, like advanced driver assist, wireless phone charging, and heated seats.
- The camera is not easily accessible within the infotainment system.
- The 18-inch wheels are small. The RST version will have 24-inch wheels.
- You must put your hands on the trunk to close it.
- The storage solutions in the back are kind of disappointing.
- The driver-assist features do not include auto-steering.
- There is no sunroof.
- The gauges can be scrolled through, but you cannot select multiple displays.
The video provides a Doug Score of 55/100. Overall, despite a few high points in capability, the reviewer concludes that at this price, the Chevrolet Silverado EV falls short.
