Reviews Summary

Electric vehicles have been kicking around America for some time now. From the ill-fated General Motors EV1 to the early success of the Nissan Leaf and on to the meteoric rise of Tesla, we’ve had plenty of time to get used to EVs. But there’s never before been an EV with as much mass appeal as the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning.

Reviews Summary

The Silverado EV rides on GM’s Ultium platform, just like the GMC Hummer EV, and while it may lack a bit of the novelty or the fun factor of the Hummer, the tradeoff is an all-around more refined vehicle. Chevy’s electric truck is currently available in three trims: the 3WT, 4WT, and RST First Edition. “WT” in Chevy nomenclature stands for “Work Truck” and denotes a base trim meant for fleets. Our testing was, naturally, focused on the more consumer-oriented option, which also happens to be the top trim.

Verdict: The range and capability impress, and the Silverado EV RST we experienced was certainly more polished than your average truck, but we’re not sure it was $95,000 worth of polish. We’ll be interested to see how lower and middle trims shape up and will be sure to update this review when we have the opportunity. For now, we’ll say that we absolutely think it’s worth watching, and expanding the variety of options can only be good for consumers.
