General Motors engineers achieved an unofficial world record by driving the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT over 1,000 miles on a full charge. The vehicle has an EPA range of 493 miles. A group of 40 GM employees conducted the test over seven days, driving in one-hour shifts on public roads. They maintained a speed of 20-25 mph, avoided climate control, and made modifications to reduce resistance. This experiment aimed to explore the maximum theoretical range of the Silverado EV WT and alleviate range anxiety for potential EV buyers.
