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.

Ewww Yukkk would be a good name.
I suggest SILEVRADO (SIL=SILENCE, EV=ELECTRIC VEHICLE, RADO= SILVERADO)
I believe it should revert to the 60's and just be an E10! Cheyenne Indian tribe might get pissed! Use your solid history to identify and promote new products. The Apple Play will track charging stations so there is no reason to get stranded. AOC and the thug squad is hell bent on eliminating fossil fuels so we just better get ready to change. 120 years ago horsemen said cars were just a fad and would go away!
Silverado but highlight the "E" and use the blue colour, no need for a stupid electric name, keep it simple
How bout "Silverado, it's Electrifying".
Over the anticipated 15-year life span of a vehicle, the electricity required to run a battery-powered electric car can be as much as $14,480 cheaper than fueling up an internal combustion vehicle
It cost me 22 cent last time I charged at the market. I was there for about 45 minutes maybe a little longer. The car was fully charged by that time, it wasn't nowhere near drained, if i was filling a car
it'll cost at least 25-30$ depending on where you live it could be higher and gas fluctuations are steady.
