I drove the electric Chevrolet Silverado. It's a beast that could convince truck people to love EVs.

• The Silverado EV has finally hit the market.
• I drove the $96K First Edition RST, and it surprised me in a few ways.
• This is an electric truck made with truck drivers in mind.

After a long wait, the Chevrolet Silverado EV has officially entered the electric truck wars.

I got the chance to take the First Edition RST for a short drive at a press event last week on a pre-selected route that included surface roads and highway driving.
