Trucks are heavy, and adding lithium-ion batteries worsens the issue. Aerodynamics are crucial for EV efficiency, but most American pickups are shaped like bricks, impacting range. Electric trucks struggle with range when towing or hauling, posing challenges for engineers.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV addresses weight and aerodynamic challenges, offering 440 miles of range, impressive power for towing, and minimal range loss while towing. However, its high price tag and consumers' skepticism hinder full electric adoption.
Compared to the F-150 Lightning, the Silverado EV's distinctive Ultium-based architecture presents a unique approach to electric trucks. The Ultium battery integration differs from traditional body-on-frame or unibody constructions, potentially impacting future truck designs.
