We Render The Chevy Silverado Electric Pickup

Back in April, General Motors announced that it would launch a new all-electric version of the popular Chevy Silverado pickup. Now, GM Authority is providing a preview of the up-and-coming battery-driven Chevy Silverado electric with the following exclusive set of renderings.
At first blush, our Chevy Silverado electric pickup certainly appears to have plenty of Silverado DNA as far as the styling is concerned. The front end, for example, includes familiar two-tiered lighting, with bright LED strips for illumination. The light strips bracket a central dividing grille bar, which also includes an LED strip that runs the width of the grille insert.
Speaking of the grille, our Chevy Silverado electric pickup rendering includes a blocked-off front end that helps to make the truck more aerodynamic. The block-off insert has a similar texture to that of the refreshed 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, and adds a futuristic vibe to the fascia as well.
Moving over into the profile, our battery-driven pickup truck runs a set of aero-friendly wheels, which work to smooth out the rushing air and eke out every last bit of EV range. You’ll also find a charge port added to the driver’s-side fender.
Finally, the rear end looks familiar, but the tail section also includes a few noteworthy changes compared to internal-combustion models, starting with the deletion of the exhaust pipes. The rear lighting was also updated, and now includes a horizontal lighting strip that stretches across the rear tailgate, connecting the tail lamps. Finally, a “Silverado E” badge identifies this model as the hotly anticipated Chevy Silverado electric pickup truck.
The new Chevy Silverado electric pickup truck will be built at GM’s Factory Zero assembly facility (previously known as Detroit-Hamtramck) in Michigan. Both retail and fleet versions are expected, with GM’s Ultium power providing motivation and upwards of 400 miles per charge.

This looks too much like the current truck, which we already know they are changing. It wouldn’t make sense to release the EV version with the old styling.
There are some changes. I’m surely hoping that Chevrolet will style the Silverado electric like a regular pickup. Many of the other electrics like the Tesla truck and the Rivian don’t look realistic. While the Tesla has impressive mechanics, I wouldn’t have something that ugly in my driveway. I thought the object of making vehicles is to sell them. Having a badge to identify the vehicle as electric is all that’s needed. No reason to make it look like a monstrosity.
Now really you think the EV will look like the truck they are replacing in September with a refresh?
Does not look like what they leaked at the meeting. It was distinctly different.
throw the bolt grill cover on anything and there is your EV model. totally rad!!!
We’ve already seen what’s assumed to be the Silverado EV and it looks nothing like the current truck.
You should have render it with a new frontend
I hope that Chevy doesn’t remix their design for the EV Silverado. It needs to be completely updated. Although Ford basically copy-pasted their F150 design with a longer light on the front end, so it is possible
I feel like whoever did this took the Ford Lightnings front end lighting and put it on the Chevy rear end… kind of a lazy attempt if you ask me.
I agree, it won’t look anything like this since they’re planning the exterior refresh.
I have owned several Silverado’s and GMCs over 50 years. I am a believer in EVs and own a used Tesla S for which I traded in a GMC 1500 . I still need a pickup but will not buy Elon’s ‘door stop’. I am on the reservation list for the new F150 lightning but I will not be willing to wait another year of my limited life span for the EV Silverado. The Tesla and the RAM EV’s seem like vapor ware. Come on GM get a move on there is a big demand for affordable EV pickups.
Did you ever buy one of the electric S-10’s?
There is a much bigger problem with BEVs that no one wants to discuss because apparently a 500hp electric motor that is juiced by the equivalent of 10,000 smart phone batteries produces weaker EMF than cell phones:

It’s what you call a no-brainer….so the old feeble fella in the White House has no chance of figuring it out.
Bad, that sucks!
No mention of a frank? Storage under the hood?
You want them to render a frunk?
I mean, E-Trunk?
Electric vehicles do not have to be aerodynamic!
Noo, no to the taillights, has GM ever done full width taillights?
Don’t like’em! Get rid of them!
Look great
This truck is similar to the Silhouette Teaser that was shown late last year and not the actual leaked version that everyone has seen already, which could mean that there are 2 different Electric Pick Up Trucks from Chevy that’s on the way, one with an Avalanche Style Uni-Body design and one that reflects the current Silverado with a possible updated exterior look, we’ll know for sure in the near future.
The light strip in the back can be placed on the lower end of the taillights and you’d have a champion
Renders based on zero information, or what we already know the truck WON’T look like are just plain stupid. As others have already stated, we know the 2022 truck will have a completely different look than the current truck, so why make renders based on false informaiton??
I don’t even know why people bother making these “renders,” or why GMA bothers posting them. Some people have WAYYY too much time on their hands…
Looks aside, the 15 minute to full charge is what interests me. I’m 70 years old and have purchased 25 new Chev/GMC trucks in my years, including my 2020 Duramax 1500 which I am completely satisfied with. My concerns with ev’s has been infrastructure for recharge and the time it will take to recharge while traveling. Sounds like this one will hit the mark for range and recharge time. I’m interested regardless of the styling.
Haha! What Bozo did that rendering? Its not even close… Do they think GM built the BT1 platform for the Hummer only? Silverado EV will be almost identical to what was shown at the Barclays investor conference.
The horizontal light strip should be lower on the tailgate.
The word Chevrolet on the tailgate should be highlighted aswell.
The headlights should be a bit bigger.
Overall the truck is looking good.
