Additionally, Silverado EV will offer an Advanced Trailering System with up to 14 different camera views,2 4-Wheel Steer, which offers great trailering dynamics, and Super Cruise™3 with trailering — the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance technology, allowing drivers to travel hands-free on more than 200,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.
Q: How much will it cost?

Q: What are some of the interior enhancements we can expect with Silverado EV?
A: Silverado EV RST is packed with the latest technology, like a large 17-inch diagonal LCD freeform infotainment screen, which is paired with a neighboring 11-inch diagonal driver instrument display. Together with a driver Head-Up Display, you’ll have even more information at your disposal. Additionally, with new hands-free start, the vehicle turns on automatically after you enter with an enabled device, leaving your hands free to buckle up and get on the road. RST features a dual storage floor console with sliding cup holders and a storage capacity of just over 7 gallons.
Q: What cab options are available for the Silverado EV?
A: Silverado EV will be offered exclusively in Crew Cab models.
Q: What is the charge rate for Silverado EV?
A: Standard DC Fast Charging(1) capabilities of up to 350 kW enable the Silverado EV First Edition RST to get GM-estimated 100 miles of range in only 10 minutes on public DC Fast Chargers. We will share more on Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities closer to launch.
Q: What is the PowerBase charging system?
A: When combined with the available accessory power bar, the Silverado EV PowerBase charging system offers up to 10 outlets, providing a total of 10.2k W of all-electric power for worksite or recreational needs with the required equipment. Silverado EV is also capable of charging another compatible EV using the available accessory charge cord, sharing its power in times of need.
Q: What is the towing capacity of the Silverado EV?
A: The First Edition RST features up to a GM-estimated 10,000 lbs.(1) of towing capability, 1,300 lbs. of payload, and up to 14 available camera views(4) with the Advanced Trailering System(4). In addition, the First Edition RST comes standard with Four-Wheel Steer, which offers great trailering dynamics, and Super Cruise(2) with trailering – the industry’s first true hands-free driver assistance technology, allowing drivers to travel hands-free on more than 200,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada
After initial launch, Chevrolet will introduce a 2025 model year WT variant capable of up to a GM-estimated 20,000 lbs.(3) max trailering, with the available max tow package.
Q: What is the difference between Ultium and Ultifi?
A: Ultium is General Motors’ groundbreaking all-new battery platform that brings with it new power, new force, new flexibility and, of course, a new range of possibilities. As configured on the Silverado EV, the Ultium platform’s optimized weight distribution and low center of gravity help overall handling and enable the GM-estimated 400 mile range(1) with a full charge, GM-estimated over 660 horsepower(2) and over 780 lb.-ft.(2) of torque seen on the First Edition RST.
A major enabler of Silverado EV’s technologies will be the brand’s first application of Ultifi, a new Linux-based software platform. Developed inhouse at GM, it separates the vehicle’s software from the hardware to enable rapid and frequent software updates. This will give drivers the opportunity to evolve their vehicles over time with new features, third-party integrations, and more frequent over-the-air updates. This means the ownership experience of a vehicle like Silverado EV changes and updates capabilities over time.
