Its unique unibody structure and mid-gate innovation enhance functionality, creating a standout in the electric truck market.

Trims and Availability

Chevrolet is initially launching the Silverado EV in two trims: the premium RST First Edition and the commercial-focused 4WT. The RST First Edition, priced at $106,895, boasts features like 4-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, a 17-inch infotainment screen, and trailer-capable SuperCruise. Meanwhile, the 4WT starts at $79,800, offering a more utilitarian package with an 11-inch infotainment screen, vinyl upholstery, and a power center in the bed. A 3WT trim, targeted at fleet customers, is set to debut by the end of 2023.

Each trim includes a versatile 10.5-cubic-foot front trunk (frunk), providing ample storage space for tools or luggage.

Electric Power and Performance

The Silverado EV is powered by a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system inherited from the GMC Hummer EV. The RST First Edition delivers an impressive 754 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 MPH in under 4.5 seconds. The 4WT trim offers 510 horsepower, catering to commercial needs. Both trims feature a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds, with the RST supporting a payload of 1,300 pounds and the 4WT slightly higher at 1,440 pounds. Future fleet models aim to tow up to 20,000 pounds.

How the Silverado EV Stacks Up Against Competitors

In the electric truck segment, the Silverado EV competes with models like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, and upcoming entries like the Ram 1500 REV and Tesla Cybertruck. With a 400-450 mile range, the Silverado EV surpasses the F-150 Lightning's 230-320 mile range and Rivian's 230-400 mile configurations. While Rivian's quad-motor option offers higher performance, the Silverado EV provides a balanced mix of power, range, and towing capability.
