The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers impressive power: up to 760 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque when equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode. That combination creates thrilling acceleration-the truck can launch from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, defying the expectation that an electric truck can't feel dynamic.

This power comes from a Dual Motor 4WD system that sends nearly instantaneous torque to all four wheels, giving you confident traction in all conditions. Whether you're merging on the highway or maneuvering in tough terrain, the Silverado EV responds with the muscle you'd expect from a full-size pickup.
