The Chevrolet Silverado will not be the first among electric semi-trucks, nor will it be the first to come out of the General Motors concern. However, it may be the first to surpass other competitors due to its performance and futuristic design.
New Chevrolet Silverado EV RST will impress semi-truck enthusiasts the most, even more so if they're toying with the idea of an electric drivetrain. The electric drive offers an abundance of possibilities, which have been well used at Chevrolet. The Chevrolet Silverado will be able to drive up to 640 kilometers a long way, and two electric motors will provide him with just that 495 kW (673 HP) and 1,063 Nm of torque. If you were to use the function WOW (Wide Open Watts), could send the Silverado up to a hundred in less than a corner 5 seconds. When charging with power 350 kW, we will only need 10 minutes, in order to be able to transport further ones 160 kilometers.
Said torque and power allow the Silverado to tow a little more than that 4.5 tons heavy cargo or carries to 590 kilograms heavy cargo in the caisson. The Silverado boasts rear-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension and a flexible cargo bed that can carry up to approx. 3 meters long objects. For craftsmen, it is welcome news that all electric Silverados will have so-called workstations, with 10 sockets and 10.2 kW powers. We will be able to power power tools, toys or even a house if needed.
The technological interior offers 17-inch central screen and 11-inch digital driver display. The most powerful version of the RST will also have a full-size projection screen available 14-inch. The numbers and capacities listed refer to the most powerful version of the electric Silverado SRT that will be available in the US 105,000 US dollars. Less powerful and less equipped versions will also be available, and the initial price starts from 41,595 US dollars.
