A Toronto man purchased a Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup truck to support his green energy business and environmental goals. However, he encountered multiple battery issues within the first 3,000 kilometers, requiring dealership repairs and extended wait times. Despite initial frustration, General Motors eventually replaced the battery under warranty and compensated Filtsos for his inconvenience.
A Toronto man said he wanted to do his part for the environment and support his green energy related business by switching over to an all-electric pick-up truck.
“Chevy came out with a 780-kilometre-range electric truck, so I said, ‘Great, let’s go and sign me up,’” Toronto resident George Filtsos told CTV News. After driving the truck for only 3,000 kilometres, there were battery error codes, so Filtsos says he took the EV truck back to his dealer and had the main battery was replaced. However, it’s still been in the shop for the past two months with other problems.
After we reached out to General Motors , Filtsos said the truck battery was replaced again for about $30,000 under warranty and he was given $4,000 to cover his two monthly payments.
