Earlier this week, General Motors confirmed that it was developing a new all-electric iteration of the Chevy Silverado pickup truck, resulting in a flurry of interest among fans. The question is – what will it be called?
As GM Authority covered previously, one possible name for the upcoming all-electric Chevy Silverado is “Silverado E.” Along with confirmation of the all-electric pickup’s development, General Motors also released a new teaser video that shows the Silverado nameplate against a shadowy background. As the camera pulls back to reveal the entire nameplate, the “E” in the name is isolated with a blue glint. As the rest of the background fades, the “E” remains highlighted in blue.
Further evidence that General Motors may call the all-electric Chevy Silverado the Silverado E comes from the teaser image file name – “Chevrolet-Silverado-E-Teaser.”
However, Silverado E isn’t the only possibility here. A few others include Silverado EV, or possibly even Silverado Electric.
At this point it’s unclear what General Motors will end up naming the all-electric Chevy Silverado. Details on the battery-driven pickup are still few and far between, although we do know that it will offer upwards of 400 miles of range per charge, with GM’s Ultium technology under the skin. We also know it will boast a ground-up design specifically built for all-electric power, with both retail and fleet versions offered to customers.
When it finally hits production, the new all-electric Chevy Silverado will be built at GM’s Factory Zero facility in Michigan. The plant was previously known as Detroit-Hamtramck, and received $2.2 billion in upgrades earlier this year. Factory Zero will also produce the new GMC Hummer EV pickup, the GMC Hummer EV SUV, and the Cruise Origin autonomous taxi.

Elverado, of course!
is this going to look like a regular silverado but battery powered?
There's no knowing at this point however, I'd think it'd not look much different - after all, we're talking GM here; case in point: Look at the Hummer EV.
i'd be worried if it is just an ev silverado with some unique badging.
this car is going to be expensive if it is going to have a 400 mile range and at that price buyers don't want to be anonymous.
also does making it EV powered make for a better truck?
i think the hummer is different because gm isn't selling both an EV and ICE hummer at the same time.
Hummer looks great right, mean and rugged and giant!!!
Steve,
The new Silverado EV looks very little like the current Silverado. It's thinner and more rounded, with a front similar to the new Bolt EUV, but much more rugged and aggressive. It also uses C-pillar sails, very much like the old Chevrolet Avalanche and the new Hummer EV pickup.
Carscoops put out a terrific, bang-on rendering a few months back based on two partial images that leaked. If you want to know what the truck actually looks like, that render is 95% of the way there.
The "Lithium-Ion-erado".
Chev-E
How about Avalanch-E
Silverad-E
silrEVado
Its still a silverado so make it a model name. For example you currently have a silversdo RST / LT / LTE So call the eletric one Silverado ET
I could see the commercial now using ET alian as a marketing thing
Silverado 1500 E or 1500 EV, or E 1500/EV 1500, 2500 E/EV etc. etc.?
Huckle Bearer Silverado
simply Silverado E, or Silverade
Call it the E-Rection. Make it lifted from factory. It’ll sell out like crazy in Texas.
“Hey come check out my new E-Rection”
