With the impact of fossil fuels and nonrenewable resources constantly growing, many car companies are turning to new electric vehicle, or EV, models in an attempt to produce greener rides. Chevrolet is no different and is releasing a 2024 EV vehicle to match the newest styles on the market – an electric truck that can do everything the gas and diesel-fuelled trucks of today can do, plus some new and exciting features!
Four Wheel Steering
One of the most difficult aspects of driving a truck is when front wheel steering combines with a lighter bed, causing a truck to slide around corners and skid dangerously on icy roads. The 2024 Chevrolet EV comes standard with four wheel steering, allowing for greater control and comfort. With four wheel steering, you’ll have a tighter turning radius and have more confidence in icy situations.
Towing Capacity
Even with a full truck bed, sometimes there’s just not enough space for all of the things you need to transport. Some loads may be too long or too heavy for your truck to comfortably carry.
This Silverado model helps with oversized cargo, allowing you to extend the bed length into the back of the passenger cabin to accommodate items of up to three meters (10 feet) long.
The high strength electric motor also allows for higher torque than its combustion counterparts. This means you can haul up to 10,000 pounds with consumer models and double that amount with heavy duty models.
Front Cargo
One of the more innovative features of this Chevy EV model is its new and improved storage space. When packing for a road trip or buying supplies for your next project, there may not be enough space to store all your gear in the cab or box.
The Silverado EV provides a whole hatch worth of space under the hood. This gives the truck the well-known, sleek shape we know and love while converting what would be unnecessary space into usable storage.
Exciting New Technology
Chevrolet has designed an all new battery system that is expected to hit the market in the 2024 model year. With 660 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque, this engine can cruise from 0 to 95 km/hr in under 4.5 seconds. And with DC fast charging compatibility and 660 km of driving range, you can stay on the road longer and make it to your destinations on time.
With electric vehicles quickly becoming the norm, companies like Chevrolet are stepping up to the plate. New features allow for increased storage, along with increased control and towing power and incredible driving capabilities; the Chevrolet model can meet all of your truck needs. With all the capabilities of the fossil fuel trucks of today, plus exceptional bonus features, these trucks will lead the way to the future of electric vehicles.
