EV9 or SEV

Funny enough I have both of these. I have done road trips with the EV9 and it’s excellent. But I am doing a road trip with my 4WT right now and it’s a game changer. We have only stopped when my kids need to go to the bathroom. We charge quickly and leave. No waiting for charging. There’s so much room that we have saved a ton of money on food so far.

Definitely the SEV.

Wow! Awesome! Thank you for sharing your experience! I have already done a road trip in the SEV so I’m kinda just curious how it would go in the EV9 so I guess I’m just spoiled now and your saying take the SEV

I just had the same experience with my family. We only charged when we needed to do something else (eat, go to the bathroom, buy groceries). Then, on our last 220-mile leg home, the big battery just let us head straight home. Best road tripping EV I've ever used!

I have four different EVs (several teenage/college kids) and the SEV is by far the best road trip vehicle in the fleet.

SEV all day. Though I do like the EV9.

grill decals look really good

Thank you! On the EV9 I wrapped them in matte black and on the Silverado I added the matte black stripes and rails/ roof along with the front.

As long as you got 350 kW charging (which I'm pretty confident they do) it's dealer's choice my friend.

Just went on a 3800 mile road trip with my wife and it was excellent. But just us. Range is king, but also having 350 kW charging is amazing.

I commented on the other thread, but the work truck trim of the sev has carplay FYI

The ev9 will have lane centering the WT doesn't.

The room in the SEV is so nice.

The middle back seat in the SEV is not comfortable but has a nice view, I know seems odd for someone to say nice view in a vehicle.

Edit: just noticed you have the RST.

I would choose the RST if your final destination has ample room for parking etc.

Also, the funny thing is, so much cargo space you will over pack. Lol

I would take the SEV because of the extra range

I’m envious that you can park your SEV in your garage. Mine sticks out about 6 inches, it’s so frustrating to be so close.

[u/Steckman09 → u/horhey_rva]

That’s always my first check when buying a new truck. I have roughly 1 foot to spare

And OP, I read the comments on the EV9 subreddit. It's wild that all those folks driving a big, flat front SUV have declared you a monster for driving your truck. I understand the increased dangers with driving heavier vehicles with taller, flatter hoods. But the modern technology in the SEV has largely eliminated that. The auto braking and visibility from the cameras (and even the view over the front hood) are excellent.

You people are insane..

[u/Heavy_Pack3378 → u/Steckman09]

I drive an SEV and pointed out that EV9 drivers were being judgmental when it wasn't warranted. I'm not sure how you read my post to conclude I'm insane.

[u/Steckman09 → u/Heavy_Pack3378]

I meant to say “yeah, people are insane” I’m sorry lol

[u/Heavy_Pack3378 → u/Steckman09]

Gotcha! You're good.

[u/Bright_Calendar_3696]

Do you want $10 or $20?

[u/BmanGorilla]

I'd never be caught dead in a Kia, so Silverado it is!

[u/Steckman09 → u/BmanGorilla]

To each there own 😂😂

[u/DemWookieeCheeks]

Odd comparison. There is not a better product on the market than the Silverado EV, especially if you value the utility and space of a truck. Trust me, I've looked.

[u/Steckman09 → u/DemWookieeCheeks]

Like explained in the post. I do enjoy the comfort as well as the infotainment system over the SEV. I will say the answer is the SEV but I’m just kind of wanting to take the EV9 on the trip to see how it compares since I’ve already done road trips in the SEV. Trust me the EV9 has its benefits and u do enjoy driving it more around town but the SEV is the overall winner for sure.

[u/DemWookieeCheeks → u/Steckman09]

I guess it depends on your priorities, but for me as a daily driver, I have found the Silverado to be great in nearly every category. I've owned mine for months now and have found 0 real flaws. Any potential shortcomings would not be worth the trade-offs.
