You have to feel bad for electric pickup truck engineers. They don’t have it easy. Battery-powered vehicles have countless advantages over internal combustion ones, but those often fade when trucks enter the picture. Trucks are already heavy, and adding lithium-ion batteries doesn’t help. Aerodynamics are key to great EV range, but most American pickup trucks are shaped like giant bricks. And electric range quickly evaporates when towing or hauling.
One-pedal driving is activated via a panel on the main touchscreen, and like the Chevy Bolt before it, a steering wheel paddle toggles regenerative braking on demand. Here, it's useful for going down hills, but the Silverado EV is so large and heavy you can't use it to modulate your speeds before a corner like the nimble Bolt can do. I didn't find it too useful. Towing is, for sure, a strong suit here.
