The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV might be the most frustrating vehicle of the year

The Chevrolet Silverado EV might be the most frustrating vehicle CarBuzz has reviewed this year .

Chevy 's impressive specs and practicality are tainted by poor build quality, cheap materials, and a clear focus on the powertrain that has left other areas feeling unbaked.

GM frustrations arise in the interior, where all attention went to the big screens, leaving nothing for the rest of the cabin.

The standard 17.7-inch touchscreen is easy to use and there are some physical buttons and knobs for volume and climate.

Every Silverado EV gets a 5'11 " bed, which is shorter than even the Short Bed on the Silverado 1500 .

The EV makes up for its small-ish storage area by bringing back the most popular feature from the discontinued Avalanche .

Passenger space is equally generous, with 43.9 inches of headroom and 44.8 inches of legroom up front.

Chevy claims WOW mode will deliver a 4.5-second 0-60 mph time.

The Silverado EV has rear-wheel steering, which is less advanced than the system used in the Hummer .

The massive size combined with massive power results in some interesting handling characteristics.
