Chevrolet recently revealed key details for the all-new 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV including range and towing capability. When looking at the impressive specs of the first-ever electric Silverado, it’s clear it is poised to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning truck buyer. Offering remarkable range and the latest in Chevy truck technology, the 2025 Silverado EV will be available in three trims: the Work Truck (WT), LT, and RST, catering to both retail and commercial customers in the Mississauga region.
Range and Battery Options
Range is often a top concern for electric vehicle buyers, and Chevrolet has responded by making the 2025 Silverado EV a range leader in its class. The top-tier Max Range version of the Silverado EV WT offers up to 792 kilometres on a full charge, which is currently the highest estimated range for any electric truck on the market. This significant leap in range addresses one of the main hesitations many truck buyers have about switching to electric vehicles.
For those looking for more affordable or mid-tier options, Chevrolet has expanded the battery offerings across the lineup. The Silverado EV now offers three distinct battery configurations:
Work Truck (WT):
- Standard Range: Available later in the model year.
- Extended Range: Up to 679 kilometres (GM-estimated).
- Max Range: Up to 792 kilometres (GM-estimated).
LT:
- Extended Range: Up to 657 kilometres (GM-estimated).
RST:
- Extended Range: Up to 628 kilometres (GM-estimated).
- Max Range: Up to 740 kilometres (GM-estimated).
These figures position the Silverado EV as a flexible option for a range of buyers, from those looking for maximum driving range to those prioritizing a balance of price and performance.
Charging Capabilities
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV offers impressive charging capabilities across its lineup, making it easier for owners to keep their trucks charged and ready. All trims are equipped with 300 kW DC fast charging capability, which allows for quick recharging at compatible public stations. This feature means that the Silverado EV can regain significant driving range in a short period. For example, with the appropriate fast-charging infrastructure, the Silverado EV can add a substantial amount of range in minutes, though exact figures depend on the available charger.
The fast-charging capacity is a key feature, especially for long-distance drivers or commercial users who need to minimize downtime while on the road. While access to these high-powered chargers may still be limited in some areas, Chevrolet’s decision to equip the truck with such capabilities ensures future-proofing as more fast-charging stations are built.
Performance and Power
Performance remains a highlight of the 2025 Silverado EV, with all trims offering competitive power and torque. The newly introduced LT trim stands out with its 765 lb-ft of torque and 645 horsepower available in Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode, delivering robust acceleration and power for heavy-duty tasks. This level of performance is backed by towing and payload capabilities that make the Silverado EV a strong contender among both electric and traditional gas-powered trucks.
- Towing Capacity: The LT and other trims offer up to 12,500 pounds of maximum towing capacity, making the Silverado EV suitable for hauling heavy loads.
- Payload: The Silverado EV LT can handle a maximum payload of 1,800 pounds.
These specs ensure that the Silverado EV isn’t just an electric truck—it’s designed to compete head-on with the most capable gas and diesel trucks available today.
Technology and Features
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV is packed with technology designed to enhance both driving and utility. The LT trim introduces new features like a 17.7-inch infotainment screen paired with an 11.3-inch driver information centre, creating a tech-forward cockpit that drivers will appreciate. The LT trim also includes Chevrolet's Multi-Flex Tailgate as standard, offering increased versatility for loading and unloading cargo.
An available Premium Package for the LT trim brings additional features such as
- Multi-Flex Midgate which extends the load floor to almost 11 feet when combined with the tailgate, offering exceptional cargo capacity.
- Super Cruise is Chevrolet’s advanced hands-free driving system, with support for hands-free trailering on over 1.2 million kilometres of highways in the U.S. and Canada, is also available. This system is available with a three-year trial, ensuring drivers can experience a new level of convenience and safety.
The RST trim offers even more advanced features, including the option for 22-inch machined-face aluminum wheels and unique exterior lighting packages, such as illuminated bowtie emblems. These trims provide an elevated, premium experience that can be customized with exclusive colors like Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic.
