Chevy has plenty riding on the Silverado name. Per CNBC, the Silverado was the country’s second-best-selling pickup — and its second-best-selling passenger vehicle, period — as of 2020. Going electric with such an iconic name was a bold move with nonzero failure potential. Based on the latest teaser, no one can accuse the new electric Silverado of slacking. Chevy’s most recent video shows the Silverado EV acing a towing test.
That’s consistent with the new specs. According to Chevy, the electric Silverado will deliver an absurd 754 horsepower alongside a 400-mile range on a full charge. That’s good for 10,000 pounds of trailering with up to 1,300 pounds of load. We quote Nichole Kraatz, the Silverado EV’s chief engineer: “It’s so important for full-size truck customers to be able to tow, haul, and do everything that they can do in a traditional pickup truck. We’ve set the bar and are validating an incredible product.”
Per the same release, Chevy expects to sell the first Silverado EVs to corporate customers looking for fleet vehicles in the spring of 2023. Fall will see the vehicle’s retail debut. Chevy’s first run will be a set number of $105,000 First Editions. The company plans to deliver more accessibly priced configurations as production increases, with the Silverado EV base model coming in at approximately $50,000.
