Someone did an LS swap to a Tesla Model S, so that's not impossible.

And I think 30 min charge time in winter is a bit optimistic. It is assuming you have a coffee shop nearby to hop in and stay warm. If you have to rely on the vehicle to provide you heat, the charge time can significantly increase. Another important thing to consider is that you probably want to have some good amount of reserve in your fuel tank/battery in winter. I was told to never have less than 1/4 tank of gas in case I run into a ditch and have to wait for rescue, which can take hours. I feel like EV might have a slight edge in surviving a hard plow into the snow, but ultimately, I am not sure how long it will keep you warm if you are already low on battery. So yeah, lots of problems when you want to do "truck stuff" with it, though it could work as short-distance moving/delivery vehicles in urban areas where the shorter range is NBD.

EV's are not for everyone, and they aren't for everywhere (for now). We get it.

This. If you can't make an EV work for you then don't buy one.

GM Reveals 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV

No kidding I am a contractor that has a newish pro master and when it’s time to replace my current van I would seriously consider getting an Ev version It would work really well for me since I rarely drive more that 75 miles a day debating electric vehicles is funny because there’s always the people that say the problem is I won’t be able to tow 20,000 pounds uphill with a 500 mile range and be able to recharge it in 65 seconds flat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm a big fan of this new Silverado EV and I've been a true fan of the outgoing Avalanche models, best riding pickup GM ever made. Avalanche's around here still command a higher price point than similar year Silverado's and this was well before the pandemic induced used car prices.

But on the other hand, I do know someone who works in Fort Mac that drives to and from Calgary every 2 weeks when he goes on and off shift. That's an 8-hour drive on the highway, so the fringe use case also isn't as uncommon as you"d think. Quote:

I know a taxi company on Vancouver Island called Current (clever name) that uses Tesla as their taxis. I have ridden one and it's not too bad. If they can run taxis in urban areas and still stay competitive compared to the traditional taxis companies, then I'd think couriers will also be able to figure it out. I think a lot of those companies are ordering EVs as their last-mile delivery vehicles, which are the ones that send the goods from their local distribution facility in the area to people's homes, so the range concern isn't a massive issue if they have enough EV vehicles and good fleet management.
