    Offering up to 492 Miles of Range the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV is here.

      The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV launches later this year in three distinct trims with more range, content, and price options for retail and commercial customers.

    Chevrolet has announced the 2025 Silverado EV pickup truck and stated that customers in 2024 stated the following two barriers to purchasing an EV Pickup, Range and Price.

    For the 2025 model year, Chevrolet has introduced the LT trim, a more affordable package to the launch edition RST package and is expanding the WT offerings.

    • The Work Truck continues to be available to commercial customers and will launch with a starting MSRP of $69,4952 for the extended range battery pack, offering 422 miles of range1.

    The Silverado EV RST will be available with two different battery pack options and offers a max range of 460 miles.

    The 2025 Silverado EV RST also includes Sidewinder as standard equipment. Sidewinder, one of Silverado EV RST’s standard four-wheel steering modes, allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction and move the truck diagonally at speeds up to 20 mph. The feature, selectable from the infotainment screen, gives drivers a new way to conquer everything from rugged terrain to tight parking spaces.

    The RST is available in six exterior colors, including trim-exclusive Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic.

    A quick breakdown of the horsepower and torque by trim line:

    What they are missing, is standard range LT that is like $62,500 ($55k after tax credit).  I imagine that will come, and they are pushing higher end trims until they can make more batteries.  But once you get the price down, I think sales take off.  As much as people pay crazy money for pick up trucks, you can't survive on the $80-90k stuff.

    50%? Not a chance when the lightest GAS powered crew cab Silverado is 4700 lbs and they mostly tip out at near 3 tons. This would do good to get down to 7,000 lbs but even that won't happen with the current EV platform. The bigger weight problem is all that battery underneath.

    50% is unrealistic. A regular half ton truck is well north of 4500lbs already.

    Yeah, all too heavy.   It's kind of absurd that they are so hefty, ICE or EV versions...

    The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has the following weight specifications:

    Per GM authority 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV Specifications

    • Curb weight: 8,350 to 9,100 depending on model
    • Maximum Towing capacity: 10,000 to 12,000 lbs depending on model
    • Maximum payload: 1,500 to 1,700 lbs depending on model
    • Gross weight: NO DATA SUPPLIED at this time via Chevrolet site or any other site I could find.

    Solid state is showing that the size of the battery pack will be reduced by half, but it will never get down to the weight of an ICE truck in the next few years IMHO.

    • Very cool, seems Chinese EVs are here being compared by American companies so that hopefully we do not fall too far behind. A Xiaomi EV was spotted in America, and a US maker might be behind it
