Sierra EV good for cargo?

[Juan Ponce]

I am planning to buy the Sierra EV as a daily driver and as a backup car for my hauling business. Is this worth it? Is this the right truck for the right job? I think the Siera can carry up to 1,300 pounds of payload. Need your insights about this one. At max capacity how far do you think it will take me in the real world?

It can haul up to 1k pounds, but that's not confirmed since they haven't tried it in the real world yet. The ICE Sierra is a good truck, so you'll have no problem with hauling stuff with it. I'm not so sure about this EV Sierra yet though...

@menacingflyer is right. We just need to wait patiently until it arrives so that we can test its capabilities.

Well, Sierra Ice has nothing to prove, it is a dependable workhorse. Yet, Sierra EV will have to be tested if it does inherit the characteristics of Sierra Ice. That would be a good wait. Keep us posted.

Those range numbers are probably just for the best-case scenario. If you're hauling a lot, you'll definitely get less range, maybe 20-30% less.

But hey, the fast-charging is a lifesaver! You won't be stuck waiting around forever.

If you're gonna be hauling a lot, you should check out some apps that can help you figure out how far you can actually go. And make sure you know where to find chargers on your usual routes.
