2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range
For professionals who live on the road—chasing deals, managing teams, or jumping city to city—the right vehicle isn’t just about transport. It’s about trust, efficiency, and endurance. After a full week with the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range, the verdict is clear: this isn’t just a truck. It’s a mobile HQ.

Range That Ends the Debate
Let’s get to the point. The Silverado EV LT delivers an estimated 408 miles of range. That’s nearly 100 more than the base Ford F-150 Lightning and over 50 more than most Rivian R1T setups. In a full week of mixed driving, I only charged once. That kind of consistency erases range anxiety.
And when I did stop, a 10-minute charge on a 350 kW DC fast charger gave me 100 extra miles. That’s not a luxury—it’s a necessity for anyone who works between cities.
Comfort Without Compromise
If you’re in your vehicle for 5–6 hours a day, comfort is critical. The Silverado EV’s cabin gets it right—quiet, spacious, and finished with materials that feel premium, even at the LT trim level. Heated and ventilated seats, near-silent ride quality, and a panoramic sunroof make long drives feel short.

Compared to the Tesla Cybertruck’s stark interior or the more compact Rivian R1T, the Silverado feels tailored for people who need room to think, work, and breathe.
Tech That Works for You
Chevy nailed the interface. A 17.7-inch touchscreen paired with an 11-inch digital cluster, Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto—it all works without friction. Navigation, messaging, music, calls—it’s ready when you are.

Cargo flexibility is unmatched thanks to the Multi-Flex Midgate. Drop it down and you’ve got nearly 11 feet of usable bed length. No other electric truck can match that.

Then there’s Super Cruise. Hands off the wheel, reviewing notes and prepping for meetings while the truck handled the drive. It’s not hype. It works.

Our Verdict
