That’s a good point. I forgot about peak/off peak. I only have the option for flat rate here.
2024 Silverado EV - Revealed
- Thread starter E365
- Start date
Most of the power available at night in California is from natural gas power plants.
Cheaper is cheaper as far as I’m concerned. We still use a lot of coal here.

I can’t keep up anymore - I was driving random backroads chasing rain after a 4WD trip to the coast (to rinse underside of Jeep) and find myself in a 4000 acre solar farm I didn’t even know they built …
Well, our wind turbines don’t hide that well

Here's the 2025 Silverado trim availabilities and ranges.
Does this mean every existing mileage and towing test is now pinned to the highest priced option?
Have existing tests been done with Max range or extended range trucks?
Why is there a 32 mile diff between the 2 max range trucks?

Weight, Tires? IDK That's a lot of dough.
Thats the thing - who knows?
Each unique config needs to be tested as far as what it really does and equally important how it charges.
1/2 tons are brutally expensive anyway.
This is the starting price - the dealer sets the real price, well probably see ADM for a while before supply catches up.
These show a lot of promise.
RST lists two range specs and I didnt hear him say if this was an extended range or max range truck?
Is it 50 miles over the spec?
Or 20 miles under the spec?
That's the second channel that has gotten that result now that I know of. Talk about delivering. If I needed a truck and had the means for this price this could put me back in a GM vehicle.
It's getting close, and is the current one to pick with a few exceptions.
I'm never going to take a 9100 LB vehicle down more than a dirt road.
If one is offroading at all the Rivian still wins.
It's probably the least efficient EV truck made but simply overcomes this fault with the biggest battery by far, bigger than GM states, this under reporting size seems to be part of the Ultium (new name coming apparently) family, or charging efficiency is somehow way worse than everything.
No NACS port, no car play, although the WT gets car play????
24" tire with 8 lug wheels at 61LB this is going to hurt at replacement time.
Even with all the downsides I still dig it. Enough to depart with 100K? Not yet.
I don't need a truck and I don't want to drive something that heavy either. I'd have to look past the weight though if I wanted an EV truck with that range.
Cost wise I probably do choose the Rivian over it. It's not the right type of vehicle for my use. I almost bought a Lightning when I was seeing them go for $52k-$56k for an XLT with the extended range battery. My local dealer was still a bit high and when I thought about it, I really didn't see the point in getting a truck.
If money was no object I'd have 3 trucks and about 20 cars. Reality gives me other results though.

And a 1,200 sq ft house and 10,000 sq ft garage. Drop the cars and add some Jeeps.If money was no object I'd have 3 trucks and about 20 cars. Reality gives me other results though.
If you can afford the Silverado EV, you can afford the $600ea tires and 20K tire life. Charged at home here in FL, the power consumption costs less per mile than the tires do...
I get it. I'd like to treat vehicles like I do watches or shoes. A different one each day if I could.And a 1,200 sq ft house and 10,000 sq ft garage. Drop the cars and add some Jeeps.
The 408 mile LT trim is now on dealer lots. Qualifies for the $7,500 Federal rebate too. 645 HP / 765 LB-FT torque. Tows 12,500 lbs.
I see they’ve also been previewing an upcoming 350+ mile version with a much cheaper LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery pack.

Not sure how many will tow that digger - put Home Depot mulch?
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
The WT Max truck is a stripped down work truck with less HP than the RST Max Range luxury truck. The Max Range RST has 50% more horsepower than that of the WT.
I think also safe to say beside less HP, smaller tires and less weight as well in the Work Truck (WT)
A 7% penalty in range seems reasonable when you think about comparing the two.

Great chart. Thanks.
The question still stands though - what RST config was used in the 440 mile test - the 390 mile version, or the 460 mile version?
Im digging the RST.
