GM Reveals 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV - Page 5

The price range in Silverado EV is very high in general, and GM is out of tax credit. I really wonder the price range in upcoming GMC Sierra EV.

Considering it's launching solely as a Sierra Denali initially...

I had a 2002 Tuppertruck. I loved it. And one reason i went with RAMBOX on my last few trucks.

Well that just shot down any prejudice I had against EVs.

MightyBobo · 01-06-2022, 04:11 PM

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but it's a Silverado - not a Colorado. And if you're going to joke about it's name, it's clearly an Avalanche...

Relax. I'll edit the thread title so the world keeps turning...

I'd say the same to you: relax. I was just making sure you weren't joking, and correcting you so you actually got it right, if you DIDN'T know.

interesting . I'm not sold as far as a single daily being an EV.

While I'm not going to soapbox about EVs, my friend was a relatively early adopter of a Tesla Model S as a DD, and now has a Model 3. It's been fantastic for him and his wife, who commutes 70+ miles a day round trip.

I had significant gripes w/ the Model S for anything OTHER than a daily, namely a long road trip with passengers. The rear bench seat was god awful in my opinion. The Model 3 was a large improvement across the board, and it saved him quite a bit of money.

But, for longer road trips where they are going to do more than 250-300 miles, their 2021 Silverado is their immediate go-to for comfort and storage capabilities. This is why I ordered my RST - I LOVE having a truck, and a truck EV with good mileage? Sign me up.

The acceleration numbers look good, but if I need to do truck stuff, I don't think that's very significant. As mentioned in another thread, I am curious how the range will hold up when towing or carrying a lot of stuff in the bed, especially if we compare it to a diesel.

Also, how is the ground clearance? That's my gripe with Mach-E - an SUV with a car's ground clearance because of, you guessed it, where the battery is positioned. You know, the one thing I want in SUV is high ground clearance. Good going, Ford. Curious to see how it compares to the ICE variant.

And another relatively minor problem I see is how one would utilize the frunk. On Porsches and C8 Corvette, those sit low enough for you to fit some big and heavy stuff in. I can't see that happening with a truck frunk without a step of some sort, unless you enjoy having joint problems down the road. I'd think they considered this and I am just not seeing it from the screenshot posted.

But eh, first gen stuff. Maybe some things like ground clearance will get better.

One idea I do have is something more stripped down and as a cutaway van. I could see an EV truck work alright as a city moving truck. Towing range and ground clearance aren't as big of an issue in this case, and I save on gas money while U-Haul and the likes save on maintenance, though the purchasing cost will likely be high, still.

For a quick/rough comparison of the two " mainstream" EV trucks:

Payload
F-150: 2000lbs
Silverado: W/T - 1200lbs
Silverado: (higher trims) - 1300lbs

Tow
F-150: 10,000lbs
Silverado: W/T - 8000 lbs
Silverado (higher trims) - 10,000lbs

Hp/Tq
F-150: XL - 426/775
F-150: optional (XLT+) - 563/775
Silverado: W/T - 510/615
Silverado: (higher trims) - 664/780

Range
F-150: 230*-300*
Silverado: 400+

MSRP (starting)
F-150: XL-$41,669 XLT-$54,669 Lariat-$69,169 Platinum-$92,569
Silverado: W/T~$39,900**

*With 1000lbs payload
**plus destination, current for Silverado is $1595

They stack up rather well. I wonder how the unibody vs separate bed/cab will effect sales. You can already see all the "Avalanche" comments on this and many other forums.

EV's. Ugh. Just, no.

That avalanche needs a facelift along with a ls swap.
