Chevrolet released the Silverado EV’s towing capacity test results.

The all-electric Chevrolet Silverado is expected to hit the market by 2024.
General Motors’ 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST will offer up to 10,000 lbs. of max towing on some variants. Chevrolet aims to push its towing capacity up to 20,000 lbs. with the Silverado EV’s WT (Work Truck) model.
In a recent validation test, Chevrolet’s engineering team hitched a 7,700-pound RV to a 2024 Silverado EV EV WT—the model that is expected to have a towing capacity of up to 20,000 lbs. The test was conducted with the Silverado EV running at low and high speeds. Based on the engineers’ observations, the all-electric pickup truck drove smoothly while on the road and responded well to driver feedback.
“It’s so important for full-size truck customers to be able to two, haul, and do everything that they can do in a traditional pickup truck. And I think we’ve really set the bar and really made an incredible product,” said Nichole Kraatz, a vehicle Chief Engineer.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV is estimated to have 400 miles of range on a full charge and 664 horsepower with more than 780 lb-ft of torque while in Wide Open Watts Mode. As for charging, the electric Silverado is expected to charge up to 350kW with DC charging.
The Silverado EV RST First Edition will be the first version of the all-electric pickup truck to hit the market. The RST First Edition comes with features like four-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, and Super Cruise. It also features a 17-inch infotainment screen and GM’s semi-autonomous driving software.
Silverado EV RST First Edition production is scheduled to start in Fall 2023. Chevrolet plans to debut the RST First Edition with an MSRO of over $105,000. In Spring 2023, Chevrolet will unveil the Silverado EV WT model.

How far can it go towing a load ? Around the block?

Doesn't change one iota that the only way this is happening is government is forcing it down our throats. That is a FACT, and YOU cannot honestly deny it.

Yes, I can and will deny it. Government incentives are an INCENTIVE, not a MANDATE.
If you weren't so freaking butt-hurt and obsessed over EVs, you'd realize the difference between incentives and mandates.

But you're too blinded by the right to make any rational or cogent rebuttal on EVs. I rest my case.

Tesla cuts prices by up to a fifth in US and Europe as EV price war starts

Yes, EV prices will keep coming down.

[Joe Capitalist]

Yes, EV prices will keep coming down.

And EV sales will keep going UP!!

[Lionfish]

And EV sales will keep going UP!!

EV sales are going up because of government mandates. Nearly every city in the country will be forced to have at least one EV just to show they are woke.

Even you, stubborn as you are, should realize there is nowhere near enough available power to charge a large volume of EV's.

Face it, you made a decision and now you spout off to anyone and everyone as to how great it is just to justify your purchase.
Any EV is nothing more than an ICE vehicle with its exhaust pipe in a different location.
Joey wets panties, men point and laugh.

New issue with EV's in Europe. The intercoastal ferry line Havila Kystruten out of Norway is banning all EV's (and hybrids) from travel on their ships (the line goes between Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc.) stating that they are a major safety hazard aboard ships and don't meet international shipping safety standards.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...paign=msn_feed

Norway is a leading nation in forced adoption of EV's with about 70% of vehicles now battery powered.

This means Norwegians won't be able to take their cars to mainland Europe via this ferry line. There are others, but in most cases it would mean driving considerably further to reach the ports they operate out of... At least until other ferry lines follow suit and ban the vehicles for the same reason--an almost certainty as their insurers will demand it now that Havila Kystruten has banned them.

Lloyds will insure anything. Just hang on to your wallet!

No. Even a satellite is limited on how much solar energy it can collect.
Beaming that energy to Earth presents a load of other problems, not the least is a major safety issue, and you can only transmit energy to a limited degree.

Ignoring Facts That Are Politically Uncomfortable

You would have said the same thing about the GPS. I can score points for the haters of manly cars because I know there is a greater issue than alt-energy's feasibility.

The V-8 Is Not Dead: GM Confirms New Sixth-Gen Small-Block
GM is investing nearly a billion dollars to gear up for its next-generation V-8 gasoline engine.

The O4 engine is not dead either. Still a popular engine. You can find them in Subarus and aircraft.
The I4 and I6 engines are still popular as well. These are found in most smaller cars, boats, and some aircraft.

Nissan CEO: EV adoption in the US progressing faster than expected
Nissan Motor Co. CEO Makoto Uchida acknowledged that the market for electric vehicles is growing faster than anticipated in the United States. He also noted that Nissan will invest $250 million in its powertrain facility in Decherd, Tennessee. The facility will support the electrification of the company’s American lineup.
Uchida did not provide a timeline for the $250 million investment or specify what it will be used for. However, he stated that the allocation is part of Nissan’s increased efforts to promote electric vehicle adoption in the United States.
“The world is accommodating EVs much faster than we thought in the past… The electrification ratio in each market will probably grow faster than we thought,” Uchida said in an interview with Automotive News.
Uchida noted that the growing popularity of electric vehicles is actually being driven by an increase in competition and the availability of more electric cars in the market.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Less than 1% of the cars on the road is not 'popular'.

[Into the Night]

Too bad for you that it's not a FACT. It's just your silly far-right opinion and you're getting all butt-hurt because you're seeing your lame opinion being thrown back into your face with all the EV record-breaking sales that you see. You're too fucking stupid to see the EVidence right in front of your nose. You're too far into the MAGA cult to see the EV revolution. It's not going to change either. Keep believing in your sorry conspiracy theories. If you were so certain that the EV market will fail. why aren't you shorting EV stocks?
The world is laughing at you and other EV deniers.



T.A. Gardner wets panties.
I rest my case.

Learn what 'fact' means. Buzzword fallacy. Special pleading fallacies.
