Chevrolet’s 2025 Silverado EV lineup arrives with a broadened range of options, new trim levels, and headline-grabbing battery capabilities. The Work Truck (WT) Max Range variant now delivers an EPA-estimated 492 miles on a full charge, setting a new benchmark for electric pickup range. This figure eclipses the already substantial 422-mile rating of the WT Extended Range model, while a forthcoming WT Standard Range version will offer 282 miles for customers prioritizing cost over maximum distance.
The introduction of the LT trim marks a significant expansion in the Silverado EV’s appeal beyond fleet buyers. Available in both standard and Premium Package configurations, the LT offers 408 miles of range in its base form and 390 miles when equipped with the Premium Package. Standard equipment includes 300 kW DC public fast charging capability, 18-inch aluminum wheels with optional 22-inch versions later in the model year, and a distinctive lower front fascia complemented by uplevel exterior lighting and an illuminated gold bowtie emblem. Inside, drivers will find a 17.7-inch center infotainment display paired with an 11-inch driver information center, providing a digital interface on par with high-end automotive tech.
Performance figures for the LT are equally notable. With Wide Open Watts mode engaged, output climbs to 645 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, enabling a towing capacity of 12,500 pounds and a payload rating of 1,800 pounds. The Premium Package adds features aimed at versatility and long-haul comfort, including the Multi-Flex Midgate—extending the load floor to 10 feet 10 inches when combined with the Multi-Flex Tailgate—and Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driver assistance system with trailering capability. Chevrolet states that Super Cruise will be active on about 750,000 miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada by the end of 2025.
The RST trim, positioned at the top of the consumer range, offers two battery configurations. The Extended Range version matches the LT Premium Package’s 390-mile rating, while the Max Range variant delivers a GM-estimated 460 miles. The RST also incorporates Sidewinder, a four-wheel steering mode that turns all wheels in the same direction to move the truck diagonally at speeds up to 20 mph. Controlled via the infotainment screen, Sidewinder enhances maneuverability in tight spaces and off-road conditions. Exterior choices include six colors, with Zephyr Blue Matte Metallic exclusive to the RST.
Underpinning all Silverado EV models is GM’s Ultium battery architecture, with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on battery and electric components. Dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations vary by trim, with the RST delivering up to 785 lb-ft of torque and 760 horsepower, the LT producing 765 lb-ft and 645 horsepower, and the WT ranging from 490 to 580 lb-ft depending on configuration. Suspension setups differ as well: the RST employs adaptive air ride with adjustable height, while WT and LT models use four-wheel independent suspension tuned for premium ride and handling.
Charging performance is another strong suit. With access to public 800-volt DC fast chargers, the Silverado EV can add an estimated 100 miles of range in 10 minutes at up to 350 kW. Level 2 charging at 240 volts supports up to 19.2 kW, translating to roughly 34 miles of range per hour. Wheel sizes span from 18 inches on WT and LT to 24 inches on the RST, paired with all-season tires tailored to each trim’s performance and load requirements.
Chevrolet plans to deliver WT, LT, and RST models before year’s end, with the WT Standard Range joining later for both fleet and retail buyers. Assembly takes place at GM’s Factory ZERO Detroit-Hamtramck plant in Michigan, a cornerstone facility in the company’s multi-brand EV strategy. As GM positions itself for an all-electric future, the expanded Silverado EV lineup underscores the brand’s commitment to combining long-range capability, advanced driver assistance, and practical utility in a single platform.
