2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup was introduced to the U.S. market in the second half of 2023. It began with fleet-focused WT versions (4WT and 3WT), with the fully loaded RST version for the general public following in early 2024. Initial delivery numbers showed 461 units sold in the first half of 2023, indicating an early ramp-up phase at Factory Zero in Detroit. Chevrolet intends to launch more Silverado EV versions in the long term, with production set to begin in late 2025 at the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan. Today, we will summarize the main specs, range ratings, and pricing for the all-electric pickup from Chevrolet.
Versions and Pricing
The Chevrolet Silverado EV is an all-electric pickup based on the General Motors’ Ultium platform, equipped with a dual motor all-wheel drive powertrain and a large battery pack of undisclosed capacity. The Work Truck (WT) trucks have a simpler, less expensive configuration and are designed for commercial applications. The 4WT version starts at an MSRP of $77,905 plus a $1,895 destination charge, while the 3WT version is $72,905. The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST with all the features and the large battery starts at an MSRP of $105,000, resulting in a $27,095 price difference between the RST and 4WT.

As of today, the Chevrolet Silverado EV no longer qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit. However, this might change depending on whether the manufacturer complies with all the requirements, and the incentive might be available through leasing.
Specs
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV has the highest EPA Combined range among electric pickups. The 4WT version is rated at 450 miles. The 3WT version has an EPA Combined range of 393 miles, while the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is estimated to have around 400 miles. The RST version has a more powerful motor setup with a system output of up to 754 horsepower and 785 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
It’s worth noting that the Chevrolet Silverado EV’s battery pack consists of two separate 400-volt batteries, which are normally connected in parallel. Peak charging power is 350 kilowatts at an 800-volt charger, enabling replenishing up to 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. In terms of normal AC charging, the onboard charger is 19.2 kW, so it should be able to fully recharge the vehicle overnight. The pickup also has up to 10 outlets, providing a total of 10.2 kW of electric power.
Towing and Payload
The 4WT can tow up to about 10,000 lbs, with a maximum available payload of 1,400 lbs. The 3WT has higher capacity for both towing and payload. The heavier RST version can take 1,300 lbs and tow up to 10,000 lbs.
