Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Silverado EV than in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The Chevrolet Silverado EV offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a better financial choice over the Chevrolet Silverado EV, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Silverado EV, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chevrolet Silverado EV.

Handling
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Chevrolet Silverado EV, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 as you will the Chevrolet Silverado EV. You'll be able to haul more material in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 than the Chevrolet Silverado EV, due to its significantly greater cargo capacity.
