2026 Chevrolet
Silverado EV

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV expands its reach with a revamped lineup and more ways for buyers to match capability with lifestyle. The new Trail Boss trim unites the instant torque of an electric drivetrain with the lifted stance, off-road hardware, and aggressive attitude long associated with gas-powered Silverados and Colorados. At the other end of the spectrum, the base-level Work Truck makes the Silverado EV more affordable while still supplying substantial capability. Last year’s RST trim has been discontinued.

Across the lineup, Chevrolet’s electric pickup continues to provide the utility expected from a full-sized truck, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 12,500 pounds and available range approaching 500 miles. It’s a combination designed to serve job sites, long-distance hauls, and off-road trails without sacrificing the everyday comfort and technology that have become Silverado EV hallmarks.

Trims and Powertrain

The restructured lineup for the 2026 Silverado has three trims: Work Truck (WT), LT, and Trail Boss. They all have a crew-cab body, a 71-inch cargo bed, and dual-motor electronic four-wheel drive. There are three battery pack sizes: Standard, Extended, and Maximum (Max). The WT and LT are available with any of these batteries, while the Trail Boss starts with the Extended and can be upgraded to the Max pack.

Horsepower for the WT (regardless of the battery pack size) is 510, while the LT can make 605 to 760. The Trail Boss with the Extended pack produces 625 horsepower, increasing to 725 with the Max battery. The WT produces 490 to 580 lb.-ft. of torque, while this output rises to 605 to 765 lb.-ft. in the LT. All versions of the Trail Boss put out 775 lb.-ft. of torque.

Each configuration’s all-electric range is determined by battery size. With the Standard pack, the Work Truck can travel 286 miles on a full charge, while the LT is reduced slightly to 283 miles. The Extended battery boosts the distance capability to 424 miles for the WT and 410 miles for the LT (which is the same for the base Trail Boss). The Max pack delivers 493 miles of range for the WT and 478 miles for the LT and Trail Boss. Chevrolet estimates that Level 2/240-volt charging at peak capacity adds 37 miles per hour of charging. Via Level 3/DC fast charging, the Max battery pack can be reenergized as quickly as 100 miles per 10 minutes of charging. All 2026 Silverado EVs have vehicle-to-home (V2H) power transfer capability.
