The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers serious power with up to 760 horsepower and up to 775 pound-feet of maximum available torque when equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sports Mode. This dual-motor 4WD system channels nearly instantaneous electric torque to all four wheels for confident traction and dynamic acceleration-the Silverado EV can launch from 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds.

For capability, the truck handles up to 12,500 pounds of towing capacity, making it genuinely work-ready. Innovative tech like available four-wheel steer and Sidewinder diagonal steering enhance maneuverability, while available four-corner air ride adaptive suspension smooths your ride. One Pedal Driving and available regen on demand let you recapture energy during deceleration for greater efficiency.
