Chevrolet Silverado electric breaks world record of autonomy

GM and Chevrolet are partying with a new feat that Silverado electric has reached. The large battery truck made several tests and managed to mark 1,704 km of range with a single charge. The feat was performed through the most basic version of the line. In addition, the pickup managed to leave behind the premium sedan record Lucid Air, who was the record holder for reaching 1,205 km of autonomy a while ago.

The test lasted seven days and was not simple, as expected. About 40 GM engineers ran with Silverado Work Truck on public roads near the Milford race field in Michigan, United States. The evaluations were also made in regions such as Belle Isle. The speed varied between 20 km/he 25 km/heo climate was mild.

According to EPA, the institute that measures the autonomy of electric cars in the United States, the electrical Silverado Chevrolet in this version has a range of 792 km. In addition, it comes equipped with a 205 kWh capacity battery. Even she borrows the battery from Cadillac Scale IQ. It has about 500 hp and a capacity of 544 kg of load. However, brand engineers have promoted some changes in it to perform the test.

Will she come to Brazil someday?

According to Inside Ev’s, the test’s electrical Silverado had no steppe, did the whole project with the air conditioner off and had the lower positioning cleans. This last item was thought to reduce the aerodynamic drag. Differentiated wheels alignment, installed rigid hood and maximum pressure tires were also adopted in the study.

Prior to the record of Chevrolet Silverado Electric, who had the title of the most registered electric electricity was the Premium Sedan Lucid Air. He stands out for his most imposing look and reached over 1,200 km of autonomy. Finally, there is still no confirmation that the large truck moved to the battery is offered on Brazilian soil. But Chevrolet executives did not rule out the idea.

Here, it is offered only in the high country version of combustion. It has 360 hp V8 engine and 10 gear automatic transmission. Its load capacity is 1,781 liters. It can be found at US dealers for R $ 573,590.
