Electric Suburban / Electric Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade EV

They should name it the Lavalanche.

The EValanche

I'll see myself out...

I wonder how that EV will handle a 20 hour traffic jam in 10 degree weather? How do you get heat?

electricity is incredibly easy to determine this...
200kw battery
even if the heater uses 5kwh, doubtful as this could heat a 2500sq ft house, for heat. you can comfortably heat your new silverado for 40 hours at full blast. likely after initially heated up you would need less than half that to maintain a temp.
if youre not propelling the vehicle the only other load would be what? the radio?

And powering all of the kids phones and ipads lol

How much energy is lost in the battery pack due to the cold?

I can see a future with trailers having battery packs and or generators to power/re-charge the tow vehicle!

The automakers love them because electric motors are cheap compared to reciprocating engines and their development.

i love how you guys come up with these unrealistic scenarios for EVs but act like an ICE has never left someone stranded.

here ya go..tesla camp mode.. uses 15-20% battery in an overnight subfreezing condition. leaving your engine running for 16 hours straight and let me know if you've only wasted a 1/4 tank of gas

and thats with a battery half the size of the reported silverado 200kw battery

It always tickles me when someone points out the "deal breaker" for EV's in our future.

For me, my pet "deal breaker" is the grid. I really believe a collision is coming between the reality of "sustainable" energy production deployment (which tends to be legislatively driven) versus real world usage requirements (regardless of how fast or slow EV adoption happens). I think there is a lot of pain (and greenflation) in all of our futures.

Anyone who doubts this can happen, just consider that the Fed just decided Inflation is actually a real problem and plans are being drawn up to deal with it in a very serious manner, all the while congress has just started bi-partisan discussions on another Covid stimulus bill... You can't make this stuff up.

Not a problem. I have a 10kw generator at home to charge my EV. Burns as clean as a 1970 Galaxie 500, too.

In my last house, the original owner was a bit of a prepper. He had installed a Generac 40kW propane powered generator, all the transfer switches, etc. It worked really well, but when I considered how many times we actually had it come on (versus all the maintenance, etc.), when we built our current house I dismissed the idea of installing one.

As I look to the future, I am making plans for installing one. I have it all worked out where I will put it. Just waiting for the inevitable downturn as the Fed gets serious about inflation, maybe then I can get the attention of the contractors I need.

That's a realistic scenario, IMHO. Future RVs will carry a 1MW battery in the floor and charge from solar panels on the roof and walls, and wind turbines at all 4 corners will wring out even more energy while you boondock for a month. RV parks will have 480v industrial power and "charge" $350/night for an "ampsite". Price tag for one of these trailers: about the same as a conventional house. Those who can afford the price will sign up for it and finance the development costs. The rest of us will pull our campers with our ancient ICEosaurs for another 30 years until the electricity storage tech brings the price in line with what we can afford. This new breed of off-gridders with means will be known as "Ampers".

Pretty cool. For commuter car they are fine for many folks. I am skeptical about their ability to haul a load over any great distance. I saw some EV big rigs last night, 250 mile range for a day.

The lowest fuel burn recorded for the Yukon was 1.3 GPH on E30 @ 26 MPH. The Sierra once got 1.2 GPH in Daytona, average speed of 4 MPH on E70.

My bolt works great as a commuter. I charge at home nightly so is no biggie, and it gets me that sweet sweet HOV land access. And when I commute 25k miles a year the maintenance savings have already piled up compared to the pickup and even outback as I was previously commuting with.

But I can’t wait to get my Dmax Yukon as the new family and towing vehicle. EV’s have a long way to go before I will be using one for long range camping or road trips.

I’m with you. We should be building nuclear power plants now with all of the auto manufacturers currently saying they will be close to our all EV by 2030. I’m not saying nuclear is forever, but it’s the best option we can currently build. Solar and wind just aren’t reliable enough for the future needs. And the fact that birds are spontaneously combusting when they fly over the California Solar fields so pushing all of that heat into our atmosphere has to have some kind of negative affect.

Why the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Is not called Avalanche

Chevrolet’s 2024 Silverado EV resembles the innovative Chevy Avalanche, but despite its looks and function, it wasn’t designed to be a third-generation Avalanche.

As before, Silverado leads then Tahoe/Suburban follow the next year. Rumors are that the year after the electric Silverado is out, we’ll see an EV Tahoe/Suburban!

2025 Chevrolet Suburban EV

Here's what the all-electric Chevrolet Suburban SUV should look like when it arrives in 2025, clearly with a lot of Silverado EV pickup design influence. The final production version should hopefully not look as cookie cutter and get some unique design. For now I think this does well at showing...

754 Horsepower! 785 lb-ft of torque!! It’s happening, GM is doing what it said it would do, move towards electric. It’s just a matter of time before the EV Tahoe/Suburban are introduced​

$107k insane! The Yukon ev will probably be $125k+. Who can afford these

 

[ProfeZZor X]

I would of been open to the idea of buying an all electric Tukon AT4 earlier this year when i bought mine, but since it's not currently available, oh well...

$100k is the new $70k
