The verdict: The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV delivers impressive power along with top-of-the-class driving range and DC fast-charging speed, but trim choices are limited for now, and some of the pricey First Edition RST’s features are of dubious value.
Versus the competition: In its flagship trim, the Silverado EV compares very favorably to the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck in terms of specs, performance and gee-whiz available features. However, like its rivals, it’s really heavy and really expensive.
In a way, Chevrolet’s rollout of its all-new, all-electric full-size pickup truck mirrors the tumultuous state of the electric-vehicle market in the U.S. because it’s been happening in fits and starts. The 2024 Silverado EV was first unveiled in January 2022 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with initial deliveries expected to begin in spring 2023 for the all-business Work Truck version (for commercial buyers only) and fall 2023 for the top-line First Edition RST for regular consumers.
