Road Test

The Chevrolet Silverado EV may share a name with the conventional line of light- and heavy-duty full-sized pickup trucks, but this all-electric model has little else in common with its internal-combustion-engined siblings. Chevrolet based the Silverado EV on a bespoke electric vehicle architecture, instead of modifying an existing pickup truck platform like Ford did when it created the F-150 Lightning. By taking this approach, Chevrolet was able to give its EV truck some impressive capabilities and features that would have otherwise been challenging to achieve, if not impossible, had it based the design on the body-on-frame Silverado 1500.
