2026 Chevy Silverado EV

The Silverado EV is Chevy's only all-electric pickup truck, but with the exception of its name, this EV has little in common with its gas-powered counterpart. The Silverado EV touts some impressive numbers. Max Range models deliver up to 760 horsepower, 478 miles of range, and can add up to 124 miles of range in just 10 minutes with a powerful DC fast charger. It also provides a class-leading 12,500-pound towing capacity. Beyond the numbers, the electric Chevy offers lots of tech like a 17.7-inch touchscreen displaying a Google Built-In infotainment system and the Super Cruise hands-free driving system. If you're a fan of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, however, you'll want to shop elsewhere. The Silverado EV also offers the innovative Muti-Flex Midgate, a pass-through between the bed and cab that allows for hauling cargo up to 10 feet, 10 inches long.

The Ford F-150 Lightning is one of our favorite Silverado EV rivals because it excels in most ways, but it provides less range and slower fast-charging speeds. The Rivian R1T is another top rival that touts impressive performance, capability and comfort. It's a little smaller than the Silverado EV but offers more power and a distinctive look. The GMC Sierra EV has a lot in common with the Silverado EV. It's more expensive but sports a premium design and features. The striking Tesla Cybertruck is another rival to consider.

The Silverado EV's 2026 updates make the truck a more appealing option. Chevy axed the sporty RST model and replaced it with the Trail Boss off-roader that sports 35-inch all-terrain tires, a 2-inch suspension lift, a higher approach angle and off-road drive modes. The Sidewinder mode moves the truck diagonally at low speeds thanks to the Boss' rear-wheel steering feature. A more affordable version of the Silverado EV is also now available. The LT Standard Range starts at a little over $60K, which makes it the most affordable non-commercial electric truck. It comes equipped with the smallest battery pack that provides 283 miles of range and produces 510 hp. Despite its "base" status, the LT Standard Range also comes with a generous list of standard features.
