Chevrolet's commitment to sustainability has brought to life the exciting 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV. This all-electric light-duty pickup truck is powerful, practical, and extremely smart. Powerful Electric System Despite going green, the Silverado EV doesn't compromise on performance. Its energy-efficient electric powertrain incorporates two motors, generating a net 760 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque. Each motor is mounted on a different axle, forming a traction-rich 4WD system with a sharp throttle response. When put to the test, the Silverado EV hits 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds and tows an incredible 12,500 lbs. Incredible Driving Range No rival pickup truck can even come close to the Silverado EV's incredible driving range. The pickup truck drives a GM-estimated 478 miles on a full charge, surpassing the Ford F-150 Lightning by over 150 miles. When running low, you can stop to recharge at any of over 250,000 public charging stations that Chevrolet EV drivers have access to. The pickup truck is capable of handling both AC and DC charging thanks to its dual charging ports. Four-Wheel Steering Pickup trucks are notoriously difficult to maneuver in cities and parking lots. However, this is not an issue with the Silverado EV thanks to its two four-wheel steering systems. Available Sidewinder turns all four wheels in the same direction, enabling the Silverado EV to move diagonally. Meanwhile, the available traditional four-wheel steering system turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front ones, allowing the truck to make sharper turns. Impressive Off-Road Capabilities To drive beyond the pavement and tackle trails around Maplewood, the Silverado EV offers the Trail Boss trim level. It comes with a 2-inch suspension lift, putting plenty of distance between the truck's underbody and the terrain. The two four-wheel steering systems, which come standard in the Trail Boss, help the truck navigate around off-road obstacles. Other off-road features include 18-inch wheels wrapped in massive 35-inch all-terrain tires. Multiple HD Screens Sitting in the Silverado EV's cockpit, you will find yourself surrounded by HD screens. A standard 11-inch diagonal driver information center provides instrument readouts and navigation assistance, while a massive 17.7-inch center touchscreen provides infotainment. The Silverado EV also features an available 14-inch head-up display that helps keep important driving information within the driver's line of sight. Super Cruise The Silverado EV offers available Super Cruise, letting drivers go hands-free on compatible roads. Once engaged, the semi-autonomous driving system manages the pickup truck's acceleration, braking, and steering, only requiring drivers to monitor the road ahead. With the Chevrolet Silverado EV, you can enjoy emission-free driving without sacrificing capability or dependability.
