The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers thrilling electric performance. When equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode, it produces up to 760 max available horsepower and up to 775 lb-ft of max available torque-powering from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds.

This instant torque comes from the Dual Motor 4WD system, which sends nearly instantaneous power to all four wheels. That means confident acceleration and dynamic handling that feels surprisingly agile for a full-size electric truck. One Pedal Driving and available Regen on Demand also let you recapture energy during deceleration, adding control and efficiency.

Experience this electric muscle firsthand. Visit Markquart Motors in Chippewa Falls, WI, or call (715) 833-0444 to schedule a test drive of the 2026 Silverado EV today.
