Chevrolet unveiled the Silverado EV, a full‑size electric pickup, in 2026 with a claimed range of more than 400 miles and a 205 kilowatt‑hour battery. The vehicle joins a growing lineup of electric pickups as manufacturers seek to expand into the traditional truck market. GM reported selling about 14,000 units in the United States and Canada during the 2025 model year, compared with roughly ten times that number of gasoline‑powered Silverado trucks sold each quarter. The EV’s price for the LT Extended Range trim is listed at about $66,000, roughly $5,000 above the average transaction price of full‑size pickup buyers, according to industry data. GM says the battery delivers 410 miles of range on a full charge, while the LT Max Range model adds 68 miles at a higher price. Independent testing recorded an efficiency of 2.1 miles per kilowatt‑hour, about 10‑20 percent better than a comparable gasoline vehicle, according to the reviewer’s measurements. The truck includes a frunk, a rear‑mounted battery pack positioned mid‑ships, and a 205 kilowatt‑hour battery that GM describes as providing ballast and stability. Chevrolet equipped the cabin with a Google‑powered infotainment system that supports voice commands and offers a Super Cruise hands‑free driver‑assistance feature classified as Level 2. Super Cruise performed well in highway driving but exhibited occasional lane‑keeping challenges when surrounding vehicles changed speed rapidly, as reported during testing in the Detroit metro area. The vehicle’s exterior styling echoes the older Avalanche model, featuring four doors, a short bed that can extend into the cabin, and a “sail” panel intended to improve aerodynamics. Chevrolet noted plans to adopt a lithium‑manganese‑rich battery chemistry that could reduce costs by roughly $6,000 while maintaining range, potentially bringing the vehicle closer to price parity with gasoline versions later in the decade. The company has not disclosed a timeline for the battery update, and it remains unclear whether the price reduction will stimulate higher sales.
