2026 Chevy Silverado EV
Are you excited to check out the 2026 Chevy Silverado EV? We were thrilled to bring it onto our lot when Chevy first released the electrified version of its iconic Silverado 1500. Professionals, adventurers, and anyone who appreciates the power of a pickup and the efficiency of an EV have been raving about the Silverado EV.
The Chevy Silverado 1500 has long been a trusted truck. Where there’s hard work being done, there’s usually a Silverado 1500 in sight. As beloved as the Silverado 1500 is, for years, a swath of future-focused drivers have yearned for it to receive the EV treatment. So, when Chevy finally released an electrified version, the Silverado made its first entry into the EV segment, attracting an entirely new demographic.
The beauty of the Silverado EV lies in its ability to harness the power we all know and love of the original Silverado 1500, but with new perks thanks to the model’s electrification. The original truck’s utility has not been compromised, and it remains incredibly capable, even in new and novel ways. Let’s get to know the highlights of the latest Silverado EV. From its thrilling performance to its work-ready utility and impressive tech, here are some of our favorite features of the 2026 Silverado EV.
MSRP: $55,895 [a]
Horsepower: 760
Torque: 775 lb-ft
Towing: 12,500 lbs
Performance
Let’s start with the category on everyone’s minds: performance! One of the most liberating aspects of driving an electric vehicle is leaving fuel pumps behind. With at-home charging, the Silverado EV allows you to prepare your vehicle for journeys in the comfort of your own driveway or garage. Say goodbye to waiting in line at busy gas stations or worrying about the next gas price hike.
The 2026 Silverado EV is estimated to have a range of 493 miles on a full charge with the largest battery pack. Electric vehicles have come a long way since their early days, and today, the Silverado EV’s battery can take you just as far as the most efficient gas-engine models can on a full tank of fuel. So don’t worry, the Silverado EV can help you tackle several daily commutes before it’s time to plug in again, presuming you won’t already do it overnight.
The Silverado EV remains true to its work-truck roots, boasting impressive towing figures as well. It can tow up to 12,500 lbs, making it more than ready to move the equipment and vessels that power your work days and fun days. Whether you need to tow a tractor across the farm or a boat out to the lake, the 2026 Silverado EV is ready to do it.
You can take advantage of Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode, a performance mode that briefly increases power output and allows you to experience the truck’s highest possible stats, unlocking up to 760 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque. Neither accelerating from a standstill nor going uphill while towing will feel like a challenge with stats as high as these. Speaking of, the Silverado EV can go from zero to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds in WOW mode.
If you regularly tackle long drives, you might enjoy One-Pedal Driving. It allows you to speed up and slow down using only the accelerator pedal, so there’s no need to move your foot back and forth between the brake and accelerator in stop-and-go traffic. If you do find yourself stuck in traffic often, you can take some comfort in knowing that you are at least charging your battery: With Regen On Demand, you can convert braking power into battery power; when activated, it enables you to manually slow down for better energy conversion.
Navigating busy parking lots is never easy, but it’s particularly challenging when you’re driving a full-size truck. Luckily, the Silverado EV has available 4-Wheel Steer and Sidewinder modes. Let’s break them down. 4-Wheel Steer improves maneuverability at all four wheels, reducing your turning radius; it’s ideal for tackling parallel parking jobs or navigating congested areas. Sidewinder mode allows all four wheels to turn in the same direction, enabling diagonal movement. Think of all the ways you can get around a crowded job site or parking lot with these two drive modes!
Utility
The Silverado EV might be a sleek and futuristic electric vehicle, but it is a truck first. We love the utility perks of the 2026 Silverado EV, such as the popular Multi-Flex tailgate, which you can set at one of six positions. The first is the primary gate, the tailgate’s standard position; this setup includes a load stop that can secure long items in place. Easy access allows you to fold the tailgate down, swinging it toward the ground so that you can get closer to your bed’s contents. Then, a full-width step provides a stable platform for you to stand or rest on while organizing your bed contents, and it can support up to 375 lbs.
The inner gate load stop can keep second-tier, long items in place. Finally, you can fold it into a work surface, creating the perfect spot to review blueprints or handle last-minute work on your laptop. The Silverado EV also has a second popular bed feature, the Multi-Flex midgate, which allows you to remove the rear glass of your cab and—with the tailgate down and the primary gate load stop engaged—create room for items that are ten feet, ten inches long. You’ll have no trouble securing items in your bed, either, thanks to the eight standard tie-downs.
If you ever arrive at a job site or campsite to see that there are no available outlets, you’ll appreciate the available on-board power. You’ll have up to 11 outlets for 10.2 kW of power, allowing you to plug in tools, appliances, floodlights, and more. And what if you’re carrying more cargo than you planned? When your bed is already full and your cab is packed with passengers, take advantage of the 10.7-cu.ft. eTrunk. This is additional storage space you’ll find under the hood, since there isn’t an internal combustion engine in there.
Technology
Whether you’re tackling long workdays, managing family life, or heading off to your next adventure, the 2026 Silverado EV has technology to keep you on schedule. The 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen is likely the first thing you’ll notice when you hop in the cab; you’ll utilize your smartphone connectivity here, swiping through apps and viewing your navigation.
An 11-inch driver information center will provide you with vehicle and journey statistics. Meanwhile, the available 14-inch head-up display shows you additional important data on your lower windshield, positioned just beyond your steering wheel, so you can keep your eyes on the road but still know what your next turn is or who’s calling you.
Google Built-In takes productivity to the next level. It lets you use Google’s popular apps, such as Google Play and Google Maps, and you can even activate them simply by using your voice, thanks to Google Assistant. Listen to music, pull up directions, get answers to questions, and more with these handy apps. The 2026 Silverado EV also comes loaded with driver assistance features that will give you confidence wherever you go.
Automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian braking will help prevent collisions with people in vehicles and those outside them. The lane-keeping aid and lane departure warning will help you stay centered. A following distance indicator ensures you don’t get too close to the vehicle in front of you. Intelligent high beams will activate in low-light settings and shut off to accommodate oncoming vehicles. We can’t forget to mention Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free driving tool that can handle braking, accelerating, and steering for you on compatible highways.
