"The all-electric Chevrolet Silverado full-size pickup is designed from the ground up to be an EV, harnessing the Ultium platform and the Silverado's proven capability," said Michael MacPhee, brand director, Chevrolet Canada.

"The Silverado EV will check all the boxes that fleet customers have been looking for in an all-electric work-capable truck. We're excited to launch the Silverado EV to fleet customers in Canada, this truck will help them begin the transition to an all-electric fleet and assist them in achieving their own sustainability goals."
Battery Type of The Silverado EV
The Silverado EV harnesses the power of the Ultium Platform, which is the foundation of GM's EV strategy and the driver of the company's vision for a zero-emissions future. This is the same technology that was used in the Cadillac LYRIQ 2023 crossover, the Chevrolet Equinox EV 2024 and the famous GMC Hummer EV 2023.
"The Ultium Platform enabled our design and engineering teams to start from a clean slate and create a pickup with impressive performance and capability," said Nichole Kraatz, Silverado EV chief engineer. "The result is a truly impressive testament to the creativity and innovation our teams can bring to market with speed and at scale."
A new body architecture, which efficiently leverages the available 24-module Ultium battery pack as a part of the fundamental structure, enables the vehicles impressive range. This structural design integrates the capability Silverado customers have come to expect from a full-size pickup in terms of strength, durability, and performance, while also providing a more comfortable, confident ride both on- and off-road.
Additionally, the chassis is designed with independent front and rear suspensions, with power transferred to the available 24-inch wheels on RST via front- and rear- drive motors that compose the e4WD system. Automatic Adaptive Air Suspension enables the vehicle to be raised or lowered up to 2 inches (50 mm).
Four-wheel steer capability reduces the turning radius at lower speeds for greater maneuverability in parking lots, and enhances handling and stability at higher speeds, particularly when trailering. GM Confidential The RST and WT models also come with Tow/Haul mode, trailer hitch provisions, and an integrated trailer brake controller and Hitch Guidance.
The RST also includes Chevrolet's Advanced Trailering System.
Expected Charge Rate Of The 2024 Silverado EV
The RST and WT feature public DC fast charging capabilities of up to 350kW, enabling approximately 160 km (100 miles) of range3 to be added in 10 minutes based on GM estimates.
When combined with the available accessory power bar, the Silverado EV's PowerBase charging system offers up to 10 outlets, to provide a total of 10.2 kW of all-electric power for countless worksite or recreational needs, and capability to provide power to your home, with the required aftermarket equipment.13
The Silverado EV is also capable of charging another EV9 using the available accessory charge cord, sharing its power in times of need.
With the growing North American network of chargers and the Energy Assist feature in the available myChevrolet App10, drivers can create energy-efficient route planning even while trailering.
RST owners also have access to Ultium Charge 360, GM's holistic approach to EV charging, which is designed to simplify the overall charging experience, including access to more than 100,000 publicly available charging points in Canada and the U.S.
Quant aux clients qui possèdent la version WT, ils ont accès WT customers have access to Ultium Charge 360 Fleet Service, which offers one of the industry's most comprehensive charging solutions for businesses, whether drivers take their vehicles home or return to a central depot.
Performance, Design & Functionalities
Inside and out, the Silverado EV RST and WT are thoughtfully designed for functional flexibility.
"We had no constraints when it came to designing the Silverado EV with dramatic style and flexible utility because we didn't need to work around a traditional propulsion system," said Phil Zak, executive director of Chevrolet Design. "The Ultium Platform allowed us to redefine what it means to offer expansive new storage and utility possibilities."
Exterior proportions and surfacing convey the truck's capability and athletic performance. The front-end design has been sculpted to efficiently direct air down the body side, significantly reducing drag and turbulence. As a result, the Silverado EV WTis estimated to have one of the lowest drag coefficients of any available production full size pickup truck, which helps enable the impressive range.
The Silverado EV will be offered exclusively in Crew Cab models, with a shorter front overhang that gives the truck a more aggressive stance, more spaciousness and enhances forward downvision. The second row is pushed rearward meaning passengers will be comfortable no matter where they sit.
Customizable first row storage on both RST and WT models makes the most of the interior space and provides functional solutions for a variety of customer needs.
The eTrunk - a lockable, weatherproof compartment in the front of the vehicle - provides enough space to fit a large hard side suitcase and a multitude of accessory options for both fleet and retail customers to load gear based on the unique needs of the customer.
The RST's modular console features a capacity of just over 26 litres, meaning a lunch cooler can easily fit inside. The RST trim features a fixed-glass roof, which offers expansive visibility, increased headroom and an enhanced experience of spaciousness for both front and rear passengers.
On the RST, the storage capacity of the 5-foot-11-inch bed is maximized thanks to an innovative available Multi-Flex Midgate, which provides just over 9 feet of length between the cab and the tailgate when the Midgate is open.
A 40/60 second row seat offers four configurations that allow users to haul gear or equipment while still accommodating a passenger in the second row. With the addition of the available Multi-Flex Tailgate the Silverado EV RST enables up to 10 feet of load floor length. An available tonneau cover allows items such as lumber or a kayak to be loaded into a fully lockable, weatherproof storage compartment.
Technologies For Today and Tomorrow
Upon entering the vehicle, a bold 3D animation appears on the RST's large 17-inch diagonal LCD freeform infotainment6 screen, which is paired with a neighboring 11-inch diagonal driver instrument display. Together with a driver head-up display with a field of view over 14-inches. With new, hands-free start, the vehicle turns on automatically after the driver enters with an enabled device, leaving hands free to buckle up and get on the road.
A major enabler of the Silverado EV's technologies will be the brand's first application of Ultifi11. Developed in-house at GM, this gives drivers the opportunity to evolve their vehicles over time, enhancing the capabilities of the vehicle and providing access to cloud services in the most flexible and efficient way possible.

In spring 2023, the Silverado EV will debut a WT model offering Chevrolet's largest range battery with an expected GM-estimated range1 of up to 640 km (400 miles) on a full charge. In the fall of 2023, a fully loaded RST First Edition model, also including a GM-estimated range1 of up to 640 km (400 mile) on a full charge, will debut with an MSRP of $122,24812.
