The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV is a full-size electric pickup truck built for capability, productivity, and comfort. Powered by Chevrolet's Ultium Battery Platform, it delivers up to 760 horsepower, up to 460 miles of driving range, and a maximum towing capacity of 12,500 pounds-proving that electric trucks can handle real work.

It combines rugged utility with premium features: a 10-foot, 10-inch expandable cargo bed, leather seating, a 17-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, and Smart Cruise hands-free driving technology. The Trail Boss trim brings factory-installed off-road strength with a suspension lift and all-terrain tires.
