Chevy Silverado EV Driven Over 1,000 Miles On A Single Charge - CleanTechnica

A 2026 Chevy Silverado EV recently demonstrated an impressive range by traveling over 1,000 miles on a single charge during a multi-day drive on public roads. Unlike a previous test where the truck achieved about 460 miles at normal highway speeds, this extended range was accomplished by maintaining slow speeds between 20 and 25 mph, occasionally hitting 50 mph, driving with the air conditioning off, windows cracked, and using a tonneau cover to reduce aerodynamic drag. The test involved around 40 different drivers and highlighted the vehicle’s efficiency, with estimates ranging from about 4.7 to 4.9 miles per kWh, and some drivers achieving up to 6.5 miles per kWh over shorter distances. The purpose of the slow-speed challenge was to showcase the Silverado EV’s potential to alleviate range anxiety, emphasizing that driving slower can significantly extend range when needed, such as when an EV is low on charge and the driver needs to reach a charging station safely.
