“More than a novelty, the Silverado EV brings considerable range, fast charging, and payload and towing figures that are within spitting distance of the standard Silverado.” – Car and Driver

“On the highway, the Silverado Trail Boss impressed me with most of the same strengths as its LT relative. It’s a comfortable place to be, with plentiful power, and GM’s SuperCruise advanced driver-assistance system offers more tech-focused EV buyers the level of autonomy they expect.” – Road & Track

Plenty of exciting updates have been made to the electrified Chevrolet Silverado EV for the 2026 model year. A new trim level arrives in the form of the all-new Trail Boss – an off-road-focused variant that replaces last year’s RST trim level. Exclusive features of Trail Boss models include massive all-terrain tires, unique exterior styling cues, and a dedicated Terrain drive mode setting. Elsewhere in the lineup, the Super Cruise feature has been improved to make the experience safer and more comfortable. Finally, the previously available Adaptive Air Suspension has been discontinued as well.

Evidence that switching to an EV doesn’t mean sacrificing on power or capability, the Chevrolet Silverado EV challenges the conventional notion of what a full-size truck can do. Along with zero tailpipe emissions, the Silverado EV is equipped with your choice of three distinct powertrains producing up to 490 HP and 580 lb-ft of torque (Custom models), up to 760 HP and 765 lb-ft of torque (LT models with Wide Open Watts Mode), or up to 725 HP and 775 lb-ft of torque (Trail Boss models with Wide Open Watts Mode). Other key features include its advanced e4WD system that offers superior control at all speeds. Improving maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds, the groundbreaking four-wheel steer capability of the Silverado EV is especially useful in a full-size truck application. Its EV powertrain helps create a usable front trunk, further increasing the cargo-carrying abilities of this all-electric truck. Trail Boss trim levels also come standard with the Chevrolet Advanced Trailering System, adding confidence and peace of mind when towing heavy equipment with your Silverado EV.

Ready to adapt to your lifestyle, the Chevrolet Silverado EV is designed with a full range of charging capabilities to help get you where you’re going. At home, drivers can use a standard 120-volt household outlet (Level 1 charging) or a dedicated 240-volt outlet (Level 2 charging) to restore a GM-estimated range of up to 478 miles on a full charge. When you’re on the go, there’s also its DC Fast Charging capabilities that allow you to restore 120 miles of range in as little as 10 minutes (twice as fast as the competition). The myChevrolet Mobile App with Energy Assist helps you plan your trip and locate over 43,000 available public charging stations at the press of a button. In tandem with the optional accessory power bar, the PowerBase charging system offers up to 10 outlets to provide a total of 10.2 kW of all-electric power for job sites or recreational activities. In times of need, the Silverado EV can even charge another EV using its available power via an accessory cable.

Providing a truly engaging experience filled with connectivity and intuitive operation, the tech-forward interior of the Chevrolet Silverado EV has something for everyone. The crown jewel of the dashboard is a free-floating 17.7-inch touchscreen display featuring integrated Google services for effortless access to your favorite multimedia content. An innovative hands-free start system automatically starts your truck once you enter for added convenience. With a field of over 14 inches, an available head-up display projects key information right within your field of vision. Designed internally at GM, the Linux-based software system of the Silverado EV allows for continuous improvement including over-the-air updates. The future of hands-free driving is now upon us with Super Cruise, now trailer-capable and compatible with over 200,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada. The Silverado EV also comes with standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of six advanced safety and driver assistance features intended to help provide additional confidence every time you get in your truck.
