When charging my Silverado EV at Level 3 DC Fast chargers it is not charging at the same Voltage / Power as it has been in the past at the same stations (roughly half the power). I have taken it to the service center for diagnostics but they were unable to isolate the component that caused this problem, only reproduce the problem. Further details below. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - The Level 3 DC high voltage charging is not charging at the same voltage as a comparable Silverado EV. (Pictures attached) - I can demonstrate the problem with my car on request, I have attached pictures of a new Silverado EV charging as well. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - I would not consider it safe for level 3 DC charging which involves high current and high voltage to not be working as designed. It is also unsafe to not have any warning lights indicating that the charging is not working as designed. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by John Heister Chevrolet of Fuquay Varina NC. They were unable to isolate a component that is causing the issue and have sent log files of the car to the engineers at Chevy to further diagnose this issue. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - There are no warning lights / messages indicating that there is a problem even now. Only the symptom of not charging at the expected Voltage / Power level. - Symptoms were first observed by me on December 16, 2026

On 1/20/26, we purchased a ‘24 Chevy Silverado EV from a Chevrolet dealership. 2 days later, on 1/22/26, while my husband was driving on the interstate, the tonneau cover partially detached and flew backwards lifting upwards and flapping violently. One of the metal crossbars detached completely from the tonneau cover and flew off the truck, and a second crossbar began to tear away. The cover was flapping forcefully which created a highly unstable and dangerous condition. My husband pulled over on the side of the interstate to remove the tonneau cover to prevent it from fully detaching. He placed the cover into the truck bed. This incident occurred suddenly, with no warning. This was a near-miss incident with potentially catastrophic consequences. If the tonneau cover had fully detached, it could have become airborne and struck another vehicle. The crossbar that flew off, could have struck another vehicle, easily penetrating a windshield, causing another driver to lose control, or result in a multi-vehicle collision. The risk of serious injury or fatality was significant. The next day, on 1/23/26, we took the truck and damaged tonneau cover to our local Chevrolet dealership for inspection. The service manager visually inspected the cover and documented the failure. We scheduled an appointment for repair at their soonest availability, 2/4/26. We will not feel comfortable using a new cover unless a modification is made to adequately secure the cover to prevent this from occurring again. We also called the Chevrolet dealership where we purchased the vehicle from and spoke with the general manager to let them know what happened, as they have sold close to 100 of these Chevy Silverado EV’s. They said this has happened to others and they speculate that GM is already aware of this concern. We urge the NHTSA and GM to take immediate action. Please open an investigation and issue a recall before someone is seriously injured or killed. Thank you NHTSA!
