Chevy's bestselling truck just leveled up. For decades, the Silverado has been the go-to ride for work, play, and everything in between. Now, in 2025, the Chevrolet Silverado EV is proving that tough doesn't have to mean gas-guzzling. This isn't just a concept—it's on the road, and it's making waves in the electric truck market.
The Silverado EV marks Chevy's official dive into the electric pickup race—squaring off with Ford's F-150 Lightning and Rivian's R1T. Built on GM's Ultium battery platform, it delivers zero tailpipe emissions, near-silent driving, and a reminder that eco-friendly doesn't mean compromise.
Battery & ChargingRange anxiety? Not here. The Silverado EV offers up to 440 miles of range on select trims, topping the original 400-mile estimate. Thanks to its 350kW DC Fast Charging, you can add about 100 miles of juice in just 10 minutes—perfect for road trips or job sites that don't wait around.
Power & PerformanceChevy didn't hold back on muscle.
- RST trim: up to 754 horsepower with Wide Open Watts mode, delivering 0–60 mph in under 4.5 seconds.
- WT trim: 510 horsepower with a max tow rating of 12,500 pounds (higher than the original 8,000 lb claim).
- Payload capacity? Up to 1,500 pounds—all while keeping it smooth, steady, and whisper-quiet.
This is an EV built to do real truck stuff, not just look pretty in a showroom.
Tech & Driver AssistanceChevy packed the Silverado EV with next-gen tech. Expect:
- Standard safety suite: lane keep assist, forward collision alert, emergency braking
- Available Super Cruise, GM's true hands-free driving system, now covering 750,000+ miles of roads across North America (a big jump from the 200,000 miles originally offered)
- OTA updates to keep features fresh over time
Inside, it's all comfort + utility. Every Silverado EV comes in a crew cab layout with a flat floor for max space. The RST model flexes hard with:
- A 17-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch digital cluster
- Fixed-glass panoramic roof
- Customizable storage and a modular console
- The innovative Midgate system, letting you fold down the rear seats to expand the bed for hauling
Upscale meets work-ready—and yes, adults over six feet will be comfy in the back.
Final Thought:
The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV is proof that the future of trucks is already here. It's brawny, it's smart, and it's built for drivers who demand power without sacrificing sustainability. Silverado fans—your electric upgrade has arrived.
