I'm a Bolt owner with a Silverado EV reservation.
I've been reading up on the coming EV truck options and noticed something that didn't make sense to me.
I've seen some reviews imply that--since the Silverado is built as an EV from the ground up--its aerodynamics are part of the reason it'll have better range than the F-150.
But the caranddriver article I read says the Silverado will have 400 miles from a 200 kwh battery whereas the F-150 gets 300 miles from a 131 kwh battery.
So that would mean more range for the Silverado overall but more miles/kwh with the F-150.
That's not what I would have expected if the Silverado EV was more aerodynamic. Can anyone make sense of this? Perhaps Chevy is just being coy...
