Frequently Asked Questions

The Chevrolet Silverado EV is a fully electric full-size pickup built on GM’s Ultium EV platform. Unlike the gas-powered Silverado, the Chevrolet Silverado EV features a ground-up electric architecture, allowing for features like a flat floor, improved aerodynamics, and an independent front and rear suspension for better ride quality and handling.
The range of the Chevrolet Silverado EV varies by trim. The Work Truck Max Range offers up to 792 km, while the RST Max Range delivers 740 km on a full charge. Even the base Work Truck Standard Range achieves 454 km, making it one of the longest-range electric pickups available.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST trims offer impressive acceleration, with a 0-100 km/h time of 4.5 seconds. The Work Truck trims are slightly slower but still respectable at 6.5 seconds, thanks to dual-motor all-wheel-drive setups across the lineup.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Truck trims offer towing capacities of up to 9,000 lbs, while the RST trims can tow up to 10,000 lbs. Chevrolet plans to release a max tow version with a 20,000 lb capacity in the future. Payload capacity ranges between 1,200 and 1,400 lbs depending on the configuration.
Yes, the Chevrolet Silverado EV includes a weatherproof eTrunk (front trunk) with around 10 cubic feet of secure storage. It provides additional cargo space that is lockable and protected from the elements—ideal for tools or travel gear.
The interior of the Chevrolet Silverado EV includes a 13.4-inch infotainment screen, an 11-inch digital driver display, a fixed panoramic glass roof, and Super Cruise hands-free driving capability on compatible roads. The cabin is spacious and tech-forward, especially on the higher RST trims.
The Multi-Flex Midgate allows you to fold down a portion (60/40 split) or all of the rear cabin wall to extend the bed from 6 feet to over 10 feet. Combined with the Multi-Flex Tailgate, it gives the Chevrolet Silverado EV unmatched cargo flexibility in the electric truck segment.
While not as off-road-focused as the GMC Hummer EV, the Chevrolet Silverado EV will offer a Trail Boss version with increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and off-road suspension. All versions include four-wheel steering for better maneuverability but do not include the CrabWalk feature exclusive to GMC models.
The Chevrolet Silverado EV starts at $67,633 CAD for the Work Truck Standard Range. Prices increase with range and features, reaching up to $121,333 CAD for the fully loaded RST Max Range. This pricing makes it competitive within the premium electric pickup segment.
All trims of the Chevrolet Silverado EV support DC fast charging (Level 3) up to 350 kW, allowing 160 km of range to be added in about 10 minutes, with a full 80% charge in roughly 40 minutes. Level 2 charging (240V) takes about 14 hours for a full recharge.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Chevrolet Silverado EV offers a range of up to 792 km (Work Truck Max Range)—significantly higher than rivals like the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T. Even mid-range trims like the RST Max Range deliver over 740 km, making it ideal for long-distance use without frequent charging
From the Work Truck’s 380 kW and 874 Nm to the RST Max Range’s 567 kW and 1064 Nm, the Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers outstanding power across all trims. The top trims achieve 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, offering sports-car-level acceleration in a full-size truck
A standout feature is the Multi-Flex Midgate, allowing the bed to extend from 6 to over 10 feet when combined with the Multi-Flex Tailgate. This flexible cargo solution increases utility for hauling longer items while retaining cabin space
With 350 kW DC fast charging, the Chevrolet Silverado EV can recover 160 km of range in just 10 minutes. Its charging curve and battery thermal management are engineered for efficiency and reduced downtime on long trips
The Silverado EV offers up to 20,000 lbs of towing (with optional package) and payload capacities up to 1,400 lbs. It also features onboard power outlets, providing up to 7.2 kW of exportable power, ideal for job sites or remote usage
Even the base trims feature large digital displays, flat floors for passenger comfort, and practical storage throughout. The RST trim includes a 13.9-inch infotainment screen, panoramic glass roof, Super Cruise hands-free driving, and high-end materials
Unlike conversions like the F-150 Lightning, the Silverado EV rides on a ground-up Ultium EV architecture, allowing better integration of the battery and improved handling, structural rigidity, and range optimization

Cons

The top RST Max Range trim of the Chevrolet Silverado EV starts at $121,333 CAD, which places it in premium/luxury territory. This pricing narrows the buyer pool and may not appeal to typical work truck users
The rollout started with fleet-only WT models, and consumer versions like the Trail Boss and LT trims are arriving gradually. This delay could frustrate early adopters seeking affordable options
At over 5.9 meters long with a curb weight exceeding 3,000 kg (depending on trim), the Chevrolet Silverado EV is difficult to maneuver in urban areas and may be too large for some garages or parking spots
Unlike the Hummer EV or GMC Sierra EV, the Silverado EV lacks CrabWalk functionality and modular roof panels, which reduces off-road novelty and customization options
While the RST offers upscale materials and tech, some reviews noted that lower trims have more utilitarian and plasticky finishes, which may disappoint buyers expecting premium quality at high prices
