Silverado EV vs. F-150 Lightning: The Electric Duel

Choosing an electric truck can be complex, especially with the limited options available on the market. In this article, we compare two of the best models: the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV and the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning. We will highlight the advantages of the Silverado EV, a top choice for Christin Automobile customers in Montreal.

Cargo space

The Chevrolet Silverado EV stands out with its superior cargo space, offering a 5-foot-11-inch truck bed compared to the 5-foot-5-inch bed of the Ford F-150 Lightning. This difference allows for easier transportation of bulky materials, construction tools, or recreational equipment. Although the Ford has a larger frunk, the Silverado EV more than compensates with its overall larger cargo space, making it ideal for professionals and families needing to transport large items.

Driving range

One of the major strengths of the Silverado EV is its driving range. With the 4WT model offering 450 miles on a full charge and the RST First Edition model providing up to 400 miles, the Silverado EV greatly surpasses the F-150 Lightning, whose maximum range reaches 320 miles with the extended battery. For drivers in Montreal and the surrounding areas, this means fewer frequent recharges and greater freedom of movement.

Charging time

The Silverado EV stands out with its fast charging time. Using a DC fast charging station, it can gain 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes, compared to the 54 miles for the Ford F-150 Lightning. This speed is particularly advantageous for long trips and unforeseen circumstances, offering additional peace of mind. Whether for professionals needing to minimize downtime or families on the go, the Silverado EV's fast charging capability optimizes flexibility and efficiency.

Ride and handling

The Ford F-150 Lightning offers stable and secure handling, especially in corners and on highways. However, the Silverado EV, with its well-weighted steering, remains competitive. While the Silverado may show some lean in fast corners, it provides a comfortable driving experience on flat roads, effectively absorbing impacts.

Towing capacity

The Silverado EV and the F-150 Lightning are tied in terms of towing capacity, with each able to tow up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. This capacity meets the needs of most professionals and individuals, making both models highly competitive in this category.
