Which EV Pickup Truck Would You Choose: Chevrolet Silverado EV or Tesla Cybertruck?

Everyone has seen at least a photo of the Tesla Cybertruck. You know what it looks like and what it promises.

However, there is another battery-electric pickup truck in town – the down-to-earth Chevrolet Silverado EV.

“Down to Earth?” Let’s find out why we call it that and see what advantages the Silverado EV has over the Cybertruck.

For one, it looks like a pickup truck. The Silverado EV is designed to give Chevrolet customers – and any electric pickup truck customer – a visual familiarity. A look that is advanced but functional. 

The first thing you will notice is the functional look of the Silverado EV. The lighting set-up front and back is larger and more visible, including the lighting signature up front with the grille. The bed is integrated into the body yet strong enough to manage payloads. There are no sharp edges on the body, and it comes in more than one color. 

The biggest piece of functionality you will find on the Silverado EV is the Multi-Flex Midgate with Pass-Through. It enables the 5’11” bed to be extended into the rear part of the cabin for longer items up to 10’10” in length. When you put the Midgate back up, you have plenty of rearward vision to see through.

Underneath the Silverado EV’s body is the powerful Ultium drive system. It produces 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque with Wide Open Watts. It has a range of up to 440 miles on a fully charged battery, yet it can also go 0-60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds. Plus, the Silverado EV can tow up to 10,000 pounds. 

Inside the Silverado EV, you have plenty of information right in front of you with our digital instrument cluster. Next to it is our 17.7” infotainment touchscreen, which features easy-to-access functions and connectivity. You have more screen area available than a singular center-located one. Plus, the controls of the Silverado EV are much easier to use and comprehend. 

We can talk about the advantages of price, quality, and durability. After all, it’s a Chevrolet. Not only do our pickup trucks last the longest, but we have the most loyal customers of any of the pickup truck brands – electric ones included.
