2024 Chevy Silverado EV Shown Testing as Production Draws Closer

• Chevy has shown an engineering prototype for the upcoming Silverado EV.

• The new EV pickup is shown testing at GM's Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan.

• Deliveries of the new truck are set to begin in the fall of 2023.

While Chevy's initial photos of the 2024 Silverado EV showed the truck its top-trim form in an eye-catching, shiny shade of blue, we're now getting a more rough-and-tumble look at the upcoming electric pickup. GM released photos of an engineering prototype of the new EV testing at the company's Milford Proving Grounds. CEO Mary Barra said that prototypes will begin testing on public roads around Michigan within the next month.

The Silverado EV seen here has a black, unpainted body, smaller wheels and tires, and all sorts of unfinished pieces such as the headlights, taillights, and fender surrounds signifying it as a test mule.

The new truck is set to arrive for the 2024 model year, with the first deliveries said to begin in fall 2023. The Silverado EV uses GM's Ultium battery platform and claims an estimated range of up to 400 miles. DC fast-charging capability will also be standard. The Silverado's most direct competitor, the Ford F-150 Lighting, currently offers a maximum EPA-rated range of 320 miles.
