The Tesla Cybertruck and Ford F-150 Lightning are no match for the Chevy Silverado EV's estimated range.
Advertised range estimates for electric vehicles aren't all that reliable. The real world has steep hills, fast-moving freeways, cargo and inclement weather, all of which can deal a blow to an EV's supposed range. That's why it can be incredibly enlightening to observe how an EV's range holds up on actual roads. Some electric cars flop in real-world range tests, while others overshoot their manufacturer-advertised figures.
What's important is that, on the whole, the drive seems representative of how someone might actually use their truck. And the Silverado EV crushed it. The EV's efficiency, if you're curious, came out to 2 miles per kilowatt-hour.
