2024 Silverado Electric Vehicle

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Chevrolet announced on the 5th (local time) that it unveiled the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV at CES 2022, the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA.

The Silverado EV reinterprets Chevrolet's flagship pickup truck, the Silverado, as an electric vehicle. Designed from the development stage based on GM's dedicated electric vehicle platform, Ultium, it is evaluated to embody the unique toughness, driving performance, and versatility of Chevrolet pickup trucks in an electrified model.

The Chevrolet Silverado EV will be available in two trims: the corporate WT trim and the RST First Edition, scheduled for release in spring and fall of 2023, respectively. The maximum driving range on a full charge (according to GM) reaches 644 km.

The main trim, RST First Edition, features all-wheel drive, a maximum output of 664 horsepower, and maximum torque of 107.8 kgf·m. Despite its heavy full-size pickup truck body, it takes less than 4.5 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph (approximately 97 km/h) in the maximum output mode (Wide Open Watts Mode).

At the same time, it can tow 4.5 tons while carrying about 590 kg of cargo. Equipped with a glass roof that maximizes openness, it offers wide visibility and a spacious feeling to both front and rear seat passengers.

Steve Hill, Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Service at Chevrolet USA, said, "Chevrolet has continued relentless innovation for Silverado to gain its reputation today," adding, "The Silverado EV, equipped with the Ultium platform, will set a new standard for next-generation pickup trucks for consumers who currently own or are considering purchasing a Silverado."
