What do you need to know about the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV?
The first-ever Silverado EV packs a serious punch, delivering outstanding all-electric horsepower and towing capabilities. Better still, this EV truck features GM’s Ultium platform, with a battery designed to optimize both power and driving range. Right now, Chevy has only announced three trim models, including the limited-edition RST First Edition.
How much horsepower does the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV have?
According to Chevy, these EV trucks will deliver up to 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. That amount of muscle gets you from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds! To achieve maximum output, you need the RST First Edition trim model with the Wide Open Watts package. Equipped to deliver maximum power, these EV trucks will tow up to 10,000 pounds and haul max payloads of 1,300 pounds. Better still, these high-powered Silverado EVs will be able to drive an estimated 400 miles on a full battery charge.
The entry-level WT trucks deliver 510 horsepower. But when it comes to towing and hauling, they’re actually the more capable option! The WT is divided into two levels, the 3WT and fleet-specific 4WT. Both upgraded trucks have a battery range of 450 miles. And the 3WT can tow max loads of 12,500 pounds — more than the F-150 Lightning can manage! The Silverado EV’s max payload reaches 1,440 pounds.
According to Chevy, a Silverado EV that can tow 20,000 pounds will join the lineup eventually. We’ll update this space when we know more!
What are the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV trim levels?
So far, Chevy has only announced three Silverado EV trim models: the Work Tuck (WT), RST First Edition, and Trail Boss. The RST First Edition and WT trucks will be released first, and Chevy has plans to announce more mid-range trims in the future.
While the WT will be the Silverado EV’s workhorse option, it will be anything but basic. Standard features include an 8-inch digital gauge cluster, 11-inch infotainment touchscreen, and GM’s new Ultifi infotainment software. On the other end of the spectrum, a fully loaded RST First Edition can feature a fixed glass roof and two-tone leather upholstery with red trim. As the name suggests, we expect the Trail Boss to add trail-friendly hardware, such as locking differentials, all-terrain tires, and an off-road-tune suspension.
