A 2026 #Chevy #SilveradoEV Max Range Work Truck, with an EPA-estimated 493 miles of range, just made history. It went 1,059.2 miles on a full charge during a range test executed by the GM engineering team. Read the full story → link in bio

Here’s how our engineers achieved this goal:

- When it was safe to do so, drivers were advised to maintain a constant speed of 20-25 mph and to minimize instances of hard braking or rapid acceleration

- For the majority of the test, there was only the driver and no passenger in the truck

- The windshield wiper blade position was set to the lowest acceptable position lowered to reduce drag

- Tires were inflated to their highest acceptable pressure for lower better rolling resistance

- The spare tire was removed to lighten the vehicle

- The wheel alignment was optimized

- An accessory tonneau cover was added for smooth airflow

- Climate control was turned off for the duration of the test

- And finally, the test was performed in summer for optimum ambient temperature for battery efficiency

These adjustments, all within owner’s manual guidelines, helped increase the truck's efficiency and maximize battery range. The results were achieved under test conditions. Your individual performance will depend on driving environment, feature usage, and other factors.
