Review and specifications
2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV
The Silverado EV pickup truck, and its twin, the GMC Sierra EV, are built on GM's EV-specific Ultium platform, sharing a lot in common with the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Escalade IQ. The 2024 RST model we tested is quick and quiet (other than excessive wind noise). The air suspension keeps things steady and pretty comfortable for a pickup, but the large, 24-inch tires transmit some harshness into the cabin. The truck's four-wheel steering system makes parking easier. However, abnormally long stopping distances and the lack of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay are big demerits. The large 205-kWh battery provides a GM-estimated driving range of up to 460 miles, but we saw 472 miles in our 70-mph highway range test of the 2024 RST model. Home-charging is relatively quick, at about 30 miles of range gained per hour. A neat feature is a partition that opens a pass-through between the cab and bed, similar to Chevy's Avalanche from the early 2000s. The RST trim comes with a towing-compatible version of the Super Cruise hands-free active driving assistance technology. For 2026, the RST trim was dropped, and an off-road-inspired Trail Boss trim was added.

Brand context
About Chevrolet
<p>Once a purveyor of all things automotive, Chevrolet has shifted its focus toward SUVs and pickup trucks, with the supercar-like Corvette being a notable exception. It has been pioneering with electric vehicles, and it continues to introduce new EVs. Most models have roomy interiors, easy-to-use controls, and good array of standard safety and convenience technology. Several models, however, have poor visibility and lack steering agility. Many Chevrolets rate average or below average for reliability in CR’s rankings, resulting in few carrying our recommendation. The Suburban and Tahoe can keep three rows of passengers comfortable within their enormous cabins. The Silverado pickup truck competes with the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 by balancing interior comfort with towing and cargo capability. With some exceptions, used Chevrolets can have reliability issues, but are often less expensive to maintain and repair than competitors.</p>
