General Motors announced that the Silverado EV, equipped with a 205 kWh battery, has set a new range record. The $76,000 electric pick-up, with a combined range rating of 793 kilometers, achieved a 1,705-kilometer range when driven at speeds of 30-40 km/h, with the air conditioning off and avoiding sudden acceleration or braking.
Weighing over four tons, the Chevrolet Silverado EV demonstrates a consumption rate as low as 12.6 kWh/100 km when driven at city speeds.
This achievement overshadows the 1,205-kilometer journey that set a Guinness record with the Lucid Air just weeks ago, highlighting how significantly range can vary in electric vehicles depending on average speed.
