Chevrolet Silverado EV: How Far Can It Go On A Single Charge?

screenrant.com:

With General Motors announcing the Chevrolet Silverado electric vehicle, expectations are undeniably high, with many wondering how far the truck can go on a single charge. Aside from range, people will consider factors like charging times and performance. Although EVs are amassing an incredible amount of interest, some pushback has been experienced. Meanwhile, the Silverado EV isn't set to go on sale until 2023, but the buzz about the electric truck's features is at an all-time high. As more electric trucks become available in the U.S. market, consumers must choose from a robust list of competent models. Today, the electric pickup market comprises models like the Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning.

The electrification of the Silverado follows GM's efforts to keep up with the competition that seems to increase with each new release. Aside from the Silverado EV, the Detroit-based automaker has electrified former gasoline-powered trucks like Sierra and Hummer EV, both of which are from the GMC subsidiary. Interestingly, the Silverado EV shares an identical electric platform with the Hummer EV, though the former's architecture is based on a narrower version. Ahead of the 2023 release, the Silverado EV will be built in GM's Factory ZERO assembly plant.

Range plays a critical role in helping people decide what EV to purchase. Unfortunately, the U.S. hasn't been able to match the growing number of EVs with a vast network of charging stations. Not having enough charging stations means drivers must endure long wait times to charge their cars. The limited availability of charging stations has led to proposed fixes like wireless EV charging or car-to-car charging.
