The Silverado EV does have a big battery, but for actual real world use you’re keeping it within a band of about 60% (20-80) so 400 is really 240 with an emergency reserve. (This is common to all EVs).

You lose about half your range towing so you’re still going to drive two hours, stop for 30-45 minutes, repeat.

So it’s still far from compelling for anyone towing or doing truck stuff.



If you are planning a trip and know you are, your first left is easily 20-100% or 80% range, and then it depends on charging speed versus stop purpose.


Sure, I was talking more about daily work usage. (I have an EV and a diesel truck.)
