Economic pressures, supply chain issues, and all of the common excuses we’ve grown used to hearing from the electric vehicle industry are to blame for GM’s decision to recant on its promise to offer the upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV with a base price of $39,900 (before shipping).
Chevrolet recently revealed that its Silverado EV 4WT, prices for which start at $79,800, will offer 450 miles (724 km) of range, rather than the 400 miles (644 km) it initially estimated. Meanwhile, the slightly cheaper 3WT will have a range of 350 miles (563 km). These are intended as work trucks and will go to fleet operators.
