The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is Chevrolet's inaugural entry into the rapidly growing list of electric trucks, a segment that includes such heavy hitters as the Ford F-150 Lightning, the Rivian R1T and the GMC Hummer EV. In this video, Alistair Weaver from Edmunds brings you a first look at the upcoming Chevy Silverado EV and details the top 10 differences between it and the F-150 Lightning. Will the new Chevy Silverado EV have the goods to compete against Ford's all-electric pickup? We'll have to wait to get behind the wheel of both, but early indications are promising. This is the Top 10 Differences: 2024 Chevy Silverado EV vs. Ford F-150 Lightning.

F150 lighting feels same as gas f150 all-over, which is making it appeal to existing as well as new buyers. Other trucks are mostly appealing to niche EV market, same with Silverado EV. Also, how comfortable would the ride in cabin be when you fold down rear panels to fit larger stuff? There will be so much wind noise and AC/ heater will be of no use.

Just because they are putting large batteries in these trucks does not mean they are efficient. Many will make the mistake of buying these trucks not realizing what it takes to charge them and how long it will take to fully charge them. They are using big heavy batteries that will require a lot of electricity. How many KW hours will be needed to charge and if you are using this for work how often will you need to charge. Then think about how many hours a week you will sit at a charging station. How far is that station from your house. Charging at home? How many days a week will you need to charge the truck and what will it cost you? Edmunds sure as hell doesn’t know.

But most people don’t drive 300 miles daily. So EITHER charger will be good enough since you’ll simply plug it in nightly when you get home. Most cities will give credits to offset the cost if you install one of the extra cost charging stations. The cost at home for a full charge is about $11.00 at today’s rates.

What’s “hypothetical” about a bespoke EV platform having less comprises in regards to range and battery efficiency vs a ICE truck platform that Ford used in order to cut cost by converting the regular gas motor F-150 into a battery powered truck? These are simply the advantages of investing enough into the product and not half ass-ing it. Great job CHEVROLET!

This Chevy will destroy the Ford in sales. Chevys design appeals to a broader audience it's not just for traditional truckers. The design of the Ford already looks old. I feel the people buying EV trucks are still early adopters and technology and appearance make them pick the new Chevy. Traditional Ford buyers probably not pulling the trigger on an EV truck anyway. Can't even compare designs here.

Even though the Silverado EV might cost a little less, have more range and power, I think I'd still prefer the Ford F150 Lightning because it still looks more like a truck should look, even though the Silverado looks okay. Also, I assume the F150 Lightning EV has an all military grade aluminum body, which means it will not rust and not likely to corrode.

How can you do a head to head when Chev hasn't even released dimensions of their frunk, standard battery, or even tested the rear wheel steering? Points system flawed here. Full disclosure, I have a pre-order on lightning. Even if I haven't made up my mind I think I would choose one that A: is built starting this year and B: actually has a defined sales pitch. GM is trying to pretend they are a startup or Ford just does a better job on the EV release.
