Chevy Silverado EV FULL Review | Are ELECTRIC TRUCKS The Future??

Man if battery tech ever has a break through EV’s would dominate. Insane torque, efficiency, less moving parts, etc. If the batteries could be lighter / hold more charges- even just a 2x improvement in both and I would very interested.

[@LongWalker730]

Very much agree. Battery tech is not advanced enough to base a vehicle on it. Just not practical yet. Having to install fast charger, and having to wait 6 hours at the pump is insane. Turns a two day drive into a 6 day drive.

[@SliderFury1]

Charging speed and charger availability is everything. If I could go from 20% to 90% in 5-10 minutes at any gas station, I'd have an EV.

[@Jay-me7gw]

@@LongWalker730EV’s have been out for over a decade and what you’re saying is simply not true. People drive EV’s cross country and in the time it takes to walk inside, pee, grab a stack and some drinks, your car can fill up 70-80% on a fast charger. You can walk away from the car while it’s charging, you can’t walk away from your gas car while you’re pumping gas. Of course improvements in charging and battery tech will make it better, but people act like modern EV’s are wildly inconvenient and it’s not really the case.

[@dawsongranger4940]

If solid state batteries ever become mainstream they'll solve a lot of ev battery problems. They're about twice as energy dense, can charge way faster, and have almost no battery degradation. And because they're made of a solid material they have no way of catching on fire like a lithium ion battery. They're also much less resource intensive. So theoretically you now have a car that lasts forever besides maintenance. Toyota and VW are the two biggest car companies researching them. The portable speaker in the tacoma uses a solid state battery which doesn't sound like a whole lot but that's huge that a solid state has made it into production

[@Lq32332]

The potential for electric vehicles is great. Love how you tried to explain all the benifits of them. But I'll definitely let several generations be created first before getting one myself.

[@BrandyJupiter]

We just sold our two-year-old lighting pro, which we sold after 7200 miles. Plus, we had free electricity, so we did not pay a single dime. Why did we sell? With it reading 239+ miles, driving 109 miles round trip with 1900 pounds, we would arrive home with 20 to 16 percent with an orange warning screen. AC use was kept to a minimum and was not enjoyable. The same trip was impossible in late fall and winter. In sub-30 temps, it would lose up to 60 miles, and you could get some of that back by keeping it plugged in and running for over 30 minutes. Fully charged and plugged in, the heater would pull a little over 5kw, which is why the heat was a range destroyer. We still have our Chevy bolt and greatly enjoy it, but if you plan to tow, an EV truck is not helpful for even the lightest loads, especially in the winter.

My opinion, I want a truck that works like a diesel electric locomotive. Have an ICE engine work as a generator, but electric motors and a battery to power the wheels.

[@silverrick90]

I agree 100%! Why are they jumping into full electric vehicles when hybrid’s are capable of doing it all! The battery technology isn’t there yet to rely on full electric, and it’s way too costly to produce these batteries or replace them in the vehicle. Baby steps!

[@Scroll_Lock]

You're underestimating the power draw these EV require. There is no ICE engine that would charge the battery as you go along. This technology doesn't scale down like that and certainly wouldn't give you driving characteristics that would ever work on the road and around other vehicles. You're constructing a Rube Goldberg machine when an already extensively engineered and refined technology exists and is so much more reliable, durable, efficient and affordable to operate that it makes zero sense to go away from ICE or Diesel. Basically, a solution for a non-problem. I enjoy machines and technology and all the ways they can work also. EV's technology however, will always be for a specific use case and certainly not the future of all motor vehicle needs. Not even hybrids.

I just bought the 4WT - got a bit of a discount and .99% financing. With all the maintenance/ no gas benefits, it was a no brainer. One thing on cost though - yes it was cheaper than a full featured 1500 truck as mentioned in your video - BUT it is a WT - If you want a loaded truck - these will come in at $120K CDN for the RST version. I'm sure they will come - but I would love to see a mid sized electric truck.

[@effortless_choice]

I was curious about the cost of charging an electric vehicle from home: I had to breakdown our electricity cost by kilowatt hour (I think that’s how I did it). We pay 9 cents a kilowatt hour during the night or “off peak” hours. So…70 kilowatts overnight would have been $6.30 USD. That seemed fantastic! Everything goes pear shaped when you have to use public charging: expense, availability.

[@jghall00]

But how much of your annual mileage would require charging away from home? For most it's a small percentage.

[@milesj6064]

This is a good review, this is a good reason why Edison Motors is going hybrid for their truck, you don’t need as many batteries, have your own charger so can extend your range. My thoughts are if these trucks had actual transmissions it may increase efficiency, like using snatch blocks when towing with a winch, allows you to tow more with less power. Maybe I am off with electric, but seems to make sense

[@davidjernigan8161]

With the weight and torque it will require replacing a lot of expensive tires.

[@thomasnew8606]

Yes, tires will be a 10-15,000 mile replacement, I imagine.

@davidjernigan8161 That does not seem to be my experience after 7 months of ownership. 14K miles on the clock and tread wear is very light and looks normal compared to my old Chevy 1500. I am light on the throttle off the line so that would be a factor too. The truck can be very fast off the line. Tire Rack has prices for this model about the same as my old truck. I do not think that will be a factor either.

I owned a model Y for two years. I enjoyed it, as a city vehicle it was wonderful. I liked the money saved on gas (though it cost me $5000 to have my garage outfitted with a charger and upgrade my wiring). I’m back in a gas/hybrid (PHEV). The EV absolutely sucks to travel with, it hardly ever gets what it should range wise as too many factors like wind, temperature, cargo/passengers, and even tires (winters) suck up so much range travelling. My roof ski box alone sucked 15%, my mountain bikes about the same. I simply couldn’t imagine how inefficient a EV truck would be on the highway. I’m so much happier with the plug in hybrid and wish they’d make trucks this way.

Often into remote places with no gas stations, nevermind chargers. What works great for that is an F150 with a 36 gallon fuel tank with a 350 mile towing range.

[@patriot5526]

I agree with you. Electric trucks have their place. Towing shorter distances, like around town or to the local lake, this truck is perfect. If 45 minutes to charge doesn’t matter to you, then you will probably love this truck. I do have to disagree a little on maintenance. The electric truck has far less moving parts for sure, but my 2019 Ram 2500, with over 100,000 miles, has had very little maintenance costs. Oil changes, maybe spark plugs, but no other real issues. I also got a 10 year warranty with that truck. I would most definitely buy this truck except for the fact that I have to haul heavy loads, far in excess of this trucks capability, for fairly long distances all year round in cold temperatures averaging 10 to 20 degrees below zero, other wise, this truck would work for me on my ranch. I will consider this truck as a second vehicle for hauling hay and livestock around the ranch or maybe within a 100 mile radius.

[@GettysGarage]

Thats sort of how I saw this truck. if you just needed it for shorter distances it might actually be a real option. I guess for the maintenance as these truck go through the years we'll have a more clear picture of real maintenance costs vs a normal Gas/Diesel truck. It was an educated guess but like you my Ram 2500 has really had nothing but oil changes to this point.

If you used a fast charger at home, your electric bill would have been significantly higher. With the 110v charging you really need to take Monday to Friday 24hr per day charging to get to a full charge and add up each day. That would approximately give you a 1 day cost to charge with a 240v charger that charges in 10hrs. Sketchy maths…but it’s a reasonable guess. The 110v was throttling your charging costs so much that it isn’t a real number anyway.

[@jghall00]

Or just do the math. Multiple the 212 useable capacity by the house kWh rate plus 15% for charging losses.

The RAM-Charger is probably going to the proper Hybrid design model to use going forward for truck manufacturers. However I am not suggesting Ram’s will hold up to customer demands in the first few years because RAM is just terrible. There will be so many problems to start. However they “may” get that sorted and deliver a good product eventually. Either way this is probably the design that best serves the segment going forward. No one can look at EV trucks, no matter the size of the battery and tell me with a straight face that they can replace normal ICE trucks. It’s just not possible. The leap in battery technology required to make that happen is simply out of reach. Heavy EV’s are unsafe on roads made for vehicles weighing 2000lbs less than EV’s. If the Gov can amend the rules, they could make phenomenal engine/generators that could meet all environmental aims without the government picking a winner by forcing EV’s which simply don’t work. They certainly don’t work in cold climates either.

While the benefits of what these things can offer is nice the extremely long charge times are atrocious. Cold weather is also the enemy of batteries even if they have a heating function to keep them warmed up. Your range in very cold weather will always be worse than in the summer. They should stop trying to rely on just the battery alone and make it a hybrid. You don't need any fancy transmission or drivetrain to make it go anywhere. Just integrate a fuel operated generator up front that keeps the battery charged while you're driving. If Chinese automakers like BYD can pull it off than so can GM and Ford. They need to stop with the excuses and actually use their heads.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

1400lb and that powerwagon is overloaded

[@LongWalker730]

For what you pay for this vehicle, it should have a much larger range especially while towing. What is the point paying $80k for a truck that will take 8 hours to tow something 200 miles?

[@GettysGarage]

Bingo. it took me 2.5 hours of charging to tow 2 hours on the road. Now, I didn't have the fastest chargers on my stretch of road. but I can't control that nor can anyone else.

[@Jay-me7gw]

The large pack Silverado can tow 250 miles on a single charge, as shown on multiple channels

[@stephanematis]

I think the fact that electric vehicles don't end up paying road charges via fueling up will come to a head and I then wonder how it will turn out then. EVs are rather chatty to their makers, so a record of all your driving is somewhere. Yes, many non-ev's have been found to do the same, but disabling that wouldn't stop the vehicle (shouldn't?). On an EV, I suspect you are now "like an expensive cell phone", in the loving hands of the tech (car) company.

i almost bought adiscounted 16000 off lightning. but a useless towing truck chargers arent set up for trailers. 10 000 pounds and only 130 mike range yeah fu $% that bought a 2500 dodge for 48 grand brand new

[@Eightball2516]

No thanks I will keep my gas truck takes me 5 minutes to fill up especially when you travel it all sounds good until You have to replace the battery in that truck

[@GettysGarage]

When I tow with the truck I experience exactly that. it takes a long time to charge vs a 5 minute fill up.

[@specialperson170]

electric vehicles are the future but that depends on what you think the future is in the next 10 years no it isnt going to be good in the next 10 years however maybe in 20 years sure

[@blueheelerfriend8450]

I don't care if this truck runs off a nuclear module I don't want it! Black gold running vehicles only for me.😂

[@haroldbirge6881]

😅Well I'll be damned 👀✌️

[@haroldbirge6881]

🍀Curious what the 0 to 60 is and the quarter mile American 👀✌️

[@jellydonut360]

Thought it was a Honda Ridgeline from from the thumbnail

[@GettysGarage]

well they sort of take the same design.

[@raziqafg]

Get it right, it's abot, not about. Bubbles.

[@estried86]

I saw one of these a few days ago, it sure is ugly.

[@Wittyusername82]

Absolutely yuck! The avalanche was fugly enough, now this is even worse. Complete beta mobile. GM can’t get their electronics to work reliably on their ICE vehicles, these are going to be an electrical nightmare.

[@fuze3522]

Ah yes the 9,000 pound 1,000 horsepower betamobile. GMC Hummer EV and other Ultium pickup trucks 😂

[@Wittyusername82]

@@fuze3522 well this truck is not 1000 HP and being a bloated overweight truck at 9k pounds is not a flex in any way.

[@mordeth1964]

I've always been in favour of destroying the environment to save the environment. Go the EV!

[@SliderFury1]

Not interested.

[@rodneyhirsch2340]

I like them but battery technology is not up to the task. Hit a curb and battery is destroyed. Costs a fortune. This might be better with separate components?? But no one will or can work on them. Touch the wrong thing and goodbye. Insurance rates are outrageous. Because of no parts and expenses of repairs. Scotty is right on these. Junk. Besides GM has a terrible reputation for reliability. They know how, just can’t because of jerks in charge . How about tire wear and cost! Way more with these. No thanks. If I win lottery for 100 million then yes.

[@larmo5633]

Better watch the down falls of all these vehicles...pass...

[@jeffreymckie3328]

What downfalls?

[@bullmoose8606]

Got Em, first comment : Ev's are garbage, bring back the 12 V

[@jeffreymckie3328]

Only ones agreeing with you are those who never owned an ev. Tesla number one in owner loyalty for last four years. You need to do heavy towing long distances get a diesel. Otherwise get an ev, quicker, safer, sportier and less likely to catch fire per nhtsa data.

[@sandman6298]

Not with a 20ft pole,

[@slocavky]

EVs are NOT the future... 🤢🤮 EWWWW.... I'll keep my diesel thanks..

[@rhod8201]

To Hell with EVs

[@timj9350]

Love it
