  • Chevy will build an electric version of its Silverado pickup truck.

  • It will be built in the same factory as the GMC Hummer EV truck and SUV models.

  • We expect it to arrive in 2023 or 2024 and the electric model will be sold alongside the gas-powered Silverado.

We knew it was an inevitability, and now we have confirmation that Chevy will build an electric version of its Silverado pickup truck. Set to be built at the same factory as the GMC Hummer EV truck and SUV models, this upcoming Chevy EV will go up against the upcoming electric Ford F-150 and the countless other electric trucks promised to hit the market soon. GM claims that it will offer up to 400 miles of range on a single charge, and it will feature the company's Ultium battery packs.

Chevy also said that the electric Silverado will be offered in both work-oriented fleet and snazzier retail versions. Its impending arrival won't affect the gasoline-powered Silverado for now, as Chevy says that it is planning an update for the current internal-combustion Silverado lineup, likely for the 2022 model year.
