General Motors announced a record achievement in electric vehicle performance, as a Chevy Silverado EV drove 1,059.2 miles on a single charge at their Milford Proving Ground and Detroit's Belle Isle. This record was accomplished over seven days using smart driving techniques, such as driving at 20-25 mph. GM's engineers made various adjustments for efficiency, including optimized tire pressure, removing the spare tire, and utilizing a tonneau cover. The test conditions were carefully selected for optimal battery performance.
