GM announced last week that it plans to launch a pure electric Chevrolet Silverado pickup at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January next year.
General released a trailer for the pickup truck and showed the glass roof of the pickup truck, which may be named SilveradoE.
General Motors President Mark Reuss said that SilveradoE is "very innovative" and emphasized that it is completely different from existing gasoline and diesel pickup trucks, and it will attract the interest of another type of buyer. Of course, SilveradoE will also be cheaper than the Hummer EV that sells for $112,595.
It is said that some versions of SilveradoE provide a cruising range of up to 644 kilometers and are equipped with a four-wheel steering system. Although it is different from the crab walking mode of the GMC Hummer EV, it can bring greater mobility and more Good handling.
The Silverado pure electric version will be produced on the same platform as the GMC Hummer EV, and will be assembled at GM's zero plant in , Michigan Hamtramck. It will use the same "structural sandwich" method of body frame integration as the Hummer EV, and the battery pack contains its own structure. GM will then launch a GMCSierraEV (or SierraE).
SilveradoEV's closest competitor, Ford F-150 Lightning, also uses a body frame integrated structure. General Motors CEO Mary Barra pointed out that no other company currently has an electric truck platform. However,As the Rivian R1T with a skateboard-like chassis structure began to be delivered, Chevrolet electric pickup trucks have a new potential competitor. (Author/Little Magic)
