Overview

The new Chevrolet Silverado EV is a powerful new electric pickup truck. It has a range of around 400 miles with its large battery pack. It also uses DC Fast Charging technology to allow you to charge it from 0 to 100 miles of range in only 10 minutes.

The vehicle is going to use dual electric motors, which gives the vehicle all-wheel drive. The motors can also provide as much as 664 horsepower. In general, the Silverado EV will let you tow up to 10,000 pounds. For a payload, it has a hauling ability of up to 1,300 pounds.

The base trim will provide around 510 horsepower. The vehicle is reported to have as big as 34-inch wheels. You can also get a locking differential and a special suspension for adventuring.

Interior and Tech

The RST model for the Silverado EV has a glass roof with two-tone leather options for the upholstery, which will be black and white. There's also an 11-inch touchscreen infotainment display in this truck. The standard digital gauge display is eight inches, diagonally. Bay City shoppers can upgrade some of these systems at different trim levels.

The climate control systems will continue to be physical nobs, which should make them easier to adjust without looking than touchscreen controls often are. The Silverado EV's infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You can also get in-dash navigation. With this, you will be able to get directions to wherever you want to go around Saginaw without needing to connect your phone.

Other options will include the SiriusXM® radio and the on-board Wi-Fi hotspot. This Wi-Fi hotspot can allow all your passengers to connect to the Internet from their own devices seamlessly, only needing the truck's singular data connection.

Safety

Potential safety systems for this vehicle will be significant and will likely include the standard auto emergency brake complete with pedestrian detection. Other options will include the lane departure warning with the lane-keeping assist as well as adaptive cruise control with the semi-autonomous driving mode.

These systems can go a long way to making sure that you don't make any errors that could have serious consequences as you drive through the Midland area. They can do so directly by applying the brakes of the car for you in emergency situations, as well as indirectly, by alerting you to potential dangers. These systems and more make this vehicle one of the safer options you can buy, especially with how durable it will be.

You will get the strong combination of a truck with plenty of power and a fully electric vehicle with the Silverado EV. You will also have no tailpipe emissions whatsoever with this vehicle, but it still provides the power you might need for hauling and towing.
