'It Just Won't Quit!': 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss Impresses In 70 MPH Range Test
"When the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss debuted earlier this year, it made headlines for having the same EPA range rating as the more road-oriented LT version, despite having a two-inch suspension lift and all-terrain tires from the factory. With an estimated range of 478 miles on a full charge, the Silverado EV Trail Boss and LT trims with the Max Range battery pack are some of the longest-range EVs on the market today."
"With its 205-kilowatt-hour battery fully charged, the tires set to the recommended pressure and the climate control set between 68 and 72 degrees, the electric truck estimated it could go 463 miles on a full charge. After 106 miles traveling at 71 mph (70 mph on the GPS), the car had chewed through 25% of its battery. At 50% state of charge, the car had traveled 211 miles, resulting in an average energy efficiency of 2.1 miles/kWh."
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss carries a Max Range battery pack with an EPA-rated 478 miles despite a two-inch suspension lift and factory all-terrain tires. With a fully charged 205-kilowatt-hour battery, recommended tire pressures, and climate control set between 68 and 72 degrees, the truck estimated a 463-mile range. After 106 miles at 71 mph the vehicle used 25% of its battery. At 50% state of charge the truck had traveled 211 miles, averaging 2.1 miles per kWh. At 25% charge the remaining range was 100 miles and efficiency dropped to 2.0 miles per kWh. Warnings activated at about 7% SoC and Turtle Mode engaged under five miles estimated range.
