JAKARTA – There is the latest achievement from Chevrolet where the cheapest variant of its flagship dual cabin electric pickup truck, the Silverado EV Work Truck (WT) 2025, has just recorded an outstanding travel distance record in independent testing conducted bypulsis, the leading automotive online site of the United States (US).
Equipped with a “Max Range” battery pack, the Silverado EV WT managed to cover 539 miles (about 867 kilometers) on a single charge. This figure exceeds the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) estimate of 492 miles (792 km), and more impressively, outperforming all other electric vehicles that had been tested bylongs in the US before.
This achievement significantly surpassed the previous record held by the GMC Sierra EV Denali, which only recently succeeded in displacing Lucid Air from the peak of the EVferrence testing list. Chevrolet seems to be here to prove that superior travel distance performances don’t have to come at high price tag.
Realistic Testing Methodology
Launching theturbation page, Tuesday, May 6, travel distance testing is said to be carried out by means of simulations of everyday driving conditions, with a composition of 60 percent of urban routes and 40 percent of expressways, as well as an average speed of 40 mph (about 64 km/hour). Testing started fromELANGs headquarters with full batteries and ended with the remaining 7 miles of travel distance indicators, carried out in sunny weather conditions with a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18 degrees Celsius).
Despite posting phenomenal travel distances, testing reports also highlight that the energy efficiency of the Silverado EV WT still needs to be increased. With an energy consumption of 45.3 kWh per 100 miles, this truck is indeed more efficient than its class rivals such as Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning, as well as previously tested Silverado and Sierra EV variants.
The distance from the Silverado EV WT is more due to its massive battery capacity, which is 205 kWh. It’s a shame if the user chooses charging with a Level 2 charger, it will take a very long time, reaching almost 40 hours.
Performance On The Test Track
In addition to travel distance testing, the Silverado EV WT is also tested onailancurs. As a variant of “Work Truck” that is more focused on functionality, this car is not equipped with sporty driving modes such as in Silverado RST and Sierra EV Denali. As a result, the acceleration of 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) was recorded at 5.8 seconds, about 1.5 seconds slower than its two brothers. The braking performance is also considered less optimal, with a longer braking distance. This is thought to be due to the use of optimized tires for travel distance efficiency.
Heavy Weight, Simple Features
One of the key factors contributing to the better distance to the Silverado EV WT is its lighter weight than the RST and Denali variants. The two high-end variants even exceed the Scale capacity ofTENs due to the large number of luxury features such as leather seating, large screens, 24-inch pele, and foldable “Midgate”. Silverado EV WT, as a model without frills, was successfully weighed at a weight of 8,466 pounds (about 3,840 kg). However, this weight is still relatively heavy, at least 1,500 pounds heavier than its competitors such as Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and Tesla Cybertruck.
