Silverado EV Assessment, Hydrogen Hubs‘ Impact, Millennials‘ Interest in Chinese Electric Vehicles: Today’s Automotive Updates
We took the Chevy Silverado EV for a spin and, like many others, our impressions are somewhat conflicted. Young American drivers appear more receptive to electric vehicles from China. Also, are the hydrogen production areas, which are costing taxpayers billions, truly offering a cleaner alternative to diesel? Find out more in today’s edition of Green Car Reports.
During our initial test of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV RST, we discovered that its real-world efficiency is fairly standard, and its payload capacity of 1,500 pounds is relatively small compared to other large trucks. However, its substantial battery pack should ensure satisfactory highway range and intermittent towing capabilities. The truck’s Wide Open Watts (WOW) performance mode provides rapid acceleration, maintaining a smooth and quiet ride. However, it falls short in terms of smartphone connectivity.
Two legislators are calling on the Department of Energy to disclose the expected emissions from the federal hydrogen hubs. Funded with $8 billion, the initiative is designed to expand hydrogen production for uses such as trucking. It must demonstrate significant environmental benefits compared to diesel—a key detail that was surprisingly left out of the initial plan.
A recent survey has revealed that younger American drivers are more receptive to purchasing Chinese electric vehicles, even amidst worries about data privacy. Additionally, individuals under the age of 40 appear more inclined to think about buying any type of Chinese-manufactured vehicle produced in Mexico, potentially as a strategy to avoid tariffs. This openness might be tied to the limited availability of affordable electric vehicles from established U.S. car manufacturers.
