The Chevrolet Silverado WT, equipped with a 205 kWh battery, drove 1,059 miles in Detroit, requiring 40 drivers while maintaining an average speed below 25 mph. The drive necessitated keeping the air conditioning off until the last 59 miles for efficiency. In contrast, the Lucid Air Grand Touring set a record by traveling 749 miles from St. Moritz to Munich, achieving over 6 miles/kWh efficiency largely due to a downhill route. Both cases illustrate the effects of vehicle modifications and driving conditions on electric vehicle range.
