According to CEO Mary of gm, the Chevrolet Silverado EV will be focused on affordability. With that in mind, green car reports that during the quarterly financial call last week, Mary stated that they had a private viewing of select commercial and various governments from city, county, state and federal that got a sneak peak of the Chevrolet EV Silverado interior and exterior. Quote: “We gave a small number of them a sneak peek at the interior and exterior design. They said it exceeded their high expectations with zero emissions, long range, pickup capability, innovative storage, and strong value, along with a powerful design.” The truck was teased last year during their EV media show. Green Car which was present at the media event says they see design nods to the Former Chevrolet Avalanche in the BEV Silverado. Mary confirmed that in some of the Build combinations, the BEV Silverado will exceed 400 miles of range. I have to think that as a RWD only BEV Pickup with such a large battery pack, you can easily hit 450 to 500 miles of range over an AWD version. GM CEO: Chevy Silverado EV will be “a high-volume entry” affordable for fleets (greencarreports.com)

Random Thoughts Thread
This weekend we had the opening for the North Cascade Highway. Wife and I always do the drive when it first opens. A total of 529 miles from our house North up I5 to Burlington, then East to Lake Diablo and then over the pass to the town of Winthrop, then on to Lake Chelan, Leavenworth and then up and over Hwy 2 (Steven's Pass) and back home. Left at 6am, returned home at 4:34pm. Not a bad road trip. Had drinks and food in the auto, but did stop for a bathroom break at Winthrop and the chocolate shop, got a snack at the Cider Bar in Lake Chelan of Zucchini Fries and then at the Heidelberg food stand for what we think is some of the best juicy chicken strips and deep fried mushrooms. All was very clean and social distant with masks. Good safe relaxing day. If your interested in what it looks like, I took 61 photos of the drive. Chocolate shop in Winthrop is awesome if you love chocolate. Lake Diablo North Cascade Highway (HWY 20) Washington State - Cheers and Gears Love the remodel, that is AWESOME! Look forward to the finished pictures.

North Cascade Highway (HWY 20) Washington State
This is considered one of the top 10 drives in the US. It closes when snow starts coming down late fall due to avalanches and reopens at various times in the spring depending on the winter snow fall. An amazing loop from Seattle north on I5 to Burlington, then east on Hwy 20 to Lake Diablo, then continue east to the Town of Winthrop Washington going over the Liberty Bell Pass. From Winthrop you drive through the little town of Twisp, Carlton down to HWY 97 South to Starr. Continue south till you hit the sign that says Lake Chelan HWY 150. This takes you to the town and the lake. Lots of Wineries. You can then take the Alternative 97 on the south side of the lake to Winesap and then south to Entiat down to Wenatchee. From here you take HWY 2 to Sunnyslope, Cashmere and into Leavenworth and then back up over the mountain pass and back to Seattle.
