The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV packs serious punch. When equipped with Wide Open Watts in Sport Mode, it delivers up to 760 max available horsepower and up to 775 lb-ft of max available torque. This instant electric torque launches the truck from 0 to 60 mph in under 4.5 seconds-genuinely thrilling acceleration for a full-size pickup.

The Dual Motor 4WD system sends that power to all four wheels with nearly instantaneous response, enhancing traction and control in changing conditions. Available four-wheel steer and Sidewinder diagonal steering add agility that electric trucks bring to the work-truck game.

Feel this performance yourself. Call Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to arrange a test drive, or stop by our Chippewa Falls location to experience the Silverado EV's dynamic capability firsthand.
