New Chevrolet Silverado EV for Sale near Northbrook, ON

With the Chevrolet Silverado EV, Chevy endows its longest-running nameplate with its freshest form of propulsion.

The Silverado EV rides on GM’s Ultium platform, just like the GMC Hummer EV. While it may lack a bit of the novelty or the fun factor of the Hummer, the tradeoff is an all-around more refined vehicle. Chevy’s electric truck is currently available in three trims: the 3WT, 4WT, and RST First Edition. “WT” in Chevy nomenclature stands for “Work Truck” and denotes a base trim meant for fleets. Our testing was, naturally, focused on the more consumer-oriented option, which also happens to be the top trim.

Verdict: The range and capability impress, and the Silverado EV RST we experienced was certainly more polished than your average truck, but we’re not sure it was $120,000 worth of polish. We’ll be interested to see how this electric pickup truck’s lower and middle trims shape up. For now, we’ll say that we absolutely think it’s worth watching, and expanding the variety of options can only be good for consumers.
