GM introduces Chevy Silverado EV to rival Ford F-150 Lightning

General Motors revealed its new Chevrolet Silverado EV during a virtual Consumer Electronics Show.

The electric pickup rivals the Ford F-150 Lightning which was revealed in May.

The 2024 Silverado has an expected 400-mile range on a full charge and uses GM's Ultium Platform.

GM also said that the new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado LD and the GMC Sierra LD will roll out by the middle of the year.

The standard pickup trucks will feature new interiors, generate lower greenhouse gas emissions, add new off-road and luxury packages, and include the addition of Super Cruise as an option for the first time.

Ford plans to double its production of all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup trucks to 150,000 vehicles per year at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.

The company announced its final phase of pre-production, stating that orders will begin for the first wave of reservation holders on Thursday.

Ford expects to manufacture more than 200,000 Mustang Mach-E units by 2023, and produce 600,000 battery-electric vehicles annually.

Car Care Tip

Know the Numbers

Modern motor oils are engineered to flow at low temperatures and to provide adequate lubrication at high ones. Take oil labeled 5W-30, for instance, which is suitable for all weather conditions except desert Southwest climates. The first number indicates viscosity (the ability to flow) at low winter (W) temperatures. Five will work in the coldest of U.S. climates. The other number indicates lubrication performance under extreme heat. The higher the number, the better the performance under hot engine operating conditions.
