GM Research also conducted survey of Silverado EV reservation holders. According to the automaker, many (95%) plan for their new Silverado EV to be their daily driver. Respondents indicated that a top reason they decided to reserve a Silverado EV is because they wanted an all-electric vehicle that also meets their truck needs such as towing/trailering (87%) and off-roading (72%).
General Motors noted these needs for a daily driver that meets their towing/trailering needs is why the automaker's engineering teams are dedicated to testing this truck to the limit with the goal of delivering an incredibly capable truck with zero tailpipe emissions.
