Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 11 tested variants for this model year.
Complaints for the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado skew heavily toward the EV variant and cluster around electrical and structural issues. On the electrical side, owners report DC fast charging delivering noticeably reduced power compared to prior sessions at the same stations, and HVAC failures in cold weather where the system stops producing heat and leaves windows unable to defrost, in one case traced to an inoperable heater control module. The structural complaints center on the soft tonneau cover, with multiple owners describing the cover material shrinking over time so the side flaps no longer attach to the bed rail Velcro; at least one report describes a cover partially detaching at highway speed with a crossbar separating from the assembly entirely. A smaller number of visibility complaints likely connect to the same HVAC/defrost issue reported in cold-weather operation.

By System
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV has 4 recalls, the most serious involving electric motors in the rear drive unit where wire insulation failures can cause a sudden loss of drive power while the vehicle is moving.
The remaining three recalls all involve seatbelts. The front seatbelt buckles on both the driver and passenger sides may have attachment bolts that were not tightened to the correct torque, meaning a buckle could pull free in a crash instead of holding the occupant in place. A similar issue affects the rear center seat belt, where the bolt anchoring the entire assembly to the seat structure may also be undertightened and could fail to restrain a rear passenger during a collision. There is also a separate rear center seatbelt concern: the trim piece surrounding the belt on the second-row center position is the wrong part, and its edges can cut into or tear the webbing if the belt loads up in a crash, leaving it unable to hold the occupant properly.
