General Motors shifted 14,000 Silverado EVs across North America last year—respectable volume that masks a deeper problem. The truck exists in a market segment where consumers still prefer internal combustion engines and where EV adoption remains confined to early adopters and fleet buyers. The gap between a capable product and mass adoption reveals that consumers aren't choosing vehicles on engineering merit alone. Price, charging infrastructure, range anxiety, and brand loyalty still outweigh performance specs. GM's EV transition will depend less on building better trucks and more on whether it can shift consumer behavior around electrification itself.
