Expert Pick #03

Chevrolet Silverado EV.

440-mile range, 10,000 lb towing, and CrabWalk steering on GM's Ultium platform.

Chevrolet Silverado EV

The Verdict.

8.3/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The Silverado EV's 440-mile range is a statement: GM is done letting range anxiety be an excuse not to go electric. That kind of range with 10,000 lb towing capacity addresses the core concern every truck buyer has. CrabWalk is a genuine innovation that you'll use more than you expect — parallel parking a full-size truck becomes trivial. The $57,095 starting price for the RST is competitive, and the available Work Truck trim targets fleet buyers with a sub-$50K base.

Global Critique

440 miles of range changes the math entirely. This is a truck you can actually road-trip without planning.

Car and Driver

CrabWalk seems like a gimmick until you use it in a parking garage. Then you wonder why every truck doesn't have it.

MotorTrend

GM's Ultium platform finally delivers on its promise. The Silverado EV is a proper electric truck.
