JerryRigEverything range test of the Silverado EV RST

[OtterJohn]

Impressive range numbers...I still don't care for the styling, but there are some good things about the vehicle, for sure. Chevy site doesn't list battery pack size, but it has to be larger than 131kW if it's getting that sort of range.

Battery is like 213kW or something. Weighs over 8500lbs.

I like the range, but the price will always be higher because of how expensive the batteries in that thing are.

Same battery as the Hummer so 200kw+.

I'm first on the list at my local GMC deal for the Sierra Denali EV. I really want it but don't want to pay the price for it. Seeing this video makes me want it even more. Could really use the extra range during duck season traveling to and from the coast with no chargers around.

Most eagerly awaited ev to depreciate.

Love the mid-gate. Love the display info we have been asking Ford to include but I want my spare tire.

I could live with a 340 real miles Silverado, with spare and mid-gate. No need for glass roof, air suspension, or half the luxury items that makes it more expensive.

I feel the same way. Although the longer range is impressive, I don't go on trips long enough to justify paying extra for a longer range battery. That's why I have an SR Lightning. I also can't imagine not having a spare.

I've never owned a Chevy, but it looks like the EV truck market is going to be pretty competitive next year, as RAM also enters the market.

Sorry, I have never been interested in a Chivvy . . .
I don't care for the mechanics, nor the interior lay out's . . .

I like the HUD, I miss that from my BMW. It is worth another $40,000? Nope. I like the range and the mid gate but it's prohibitively expensive. I'm just not spending $100,000+ on a vehicle.

The Lightning is my first Ford, and I miss a lot of the features I had in my GMC Denali. The Silverado EV and Sierra EV look good to me, but no way I would pay current list price for one. In a year or so when they realize that they are not going to sell many at that price I would expect to see a lot of incentives, just like Ford did with the Lightning. $80K for a loaded truck is a possibility, but over $100K is a no go for me. The massive discounts on the Lightning are what swayed me to try a Ford, and for what I paid I am happy with the truck.

I didn't see a thread on this forum about it but Chevy announced the RST is going to b about 10,000 less than expected with further range.

So like 94,000. That's going to be hard for Lariat and Lightning owners that overpaid for the first two years of production and dealer markup.

But for someone that recently bought, that's 40,000 more than my Lariat ER.

I can't see the range that I would use once every two years or so being worth 40,000 to me. Nope.
