General Motors unveiled the all-new 2024 Chevy Silverado EV earlier this month in conjunction with the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show, electrifying the popular pickup nameplate and generating a good deal of hype in the process. However, the new Silverado EV isn’t GM’s first production all-electric pickup truck – that honor belongs to the GMC Hummer EV. As such, we’re putting both vehicles side by side in the following GM Authority spec comparison.

Before we launch into this, it’s worth noting that GM has yet to release the full spec sheet for the Chevy Silverado EV. That said, we do have a handful of numbers for the Silverado EV RST First Edition and WT models, which makes for a good comparison against the range-topping 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1.
Let’s start with the powertrain. Although all three models in his comparison utilize GM’s Ultium battery and Ultium motor technologies, output specs differ greatly, with the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition producing 664 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque, as compared to the 1,000-horsepower GMC Hummer EV Edition 1. Meanwhile, the Silverado EV WT produces 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque.

Put it all down, and the he 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The Hummer is quicker here, hitting the benchmark in about 3 seconds, while acceleration numbers for the Silverado EV WT have yet to be revealed.
Towing capacity and payload are also critical, with the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition offering a tow capacity of 10,000 pounds and a payload up to 1,300 pounds, as compared to the 7,500-pound towing capacity and 1,300-pound payload in the GMC Hummer EV. The Silverado EV WT is rated with a 20,000-pound towing capacity and 1,200-pound payload.

Naturally, as electric vehicles, driving range is another important factor to consider. The Silverado models are the winners in this respect, with both boasting 400 miles between plugs, as opposed to the 329-miles range in the GMC Hummer EV.

Believe there’s also a difference in charge rates
Both are capable of 350kW DC fast charge
That 5’11” is pretty sweet. Be awesome if it was adopted on the ICE Silverado short bed
Chevy got clowned so hard on social media for this truck they actually removed the post then reposted it lol.
Yea because people don’t want another avalanche. They are stupid for calling this a Silverado then doing what they did to it. It’s a definite fail.
wrong again I sold the Avalanche, and it was anything but a failure in fact I had customers moving from the Silverado’s to the Avalanche. Speak from facts not personal emotions.
Towing range should be listed as well. Between towing and the cold the range would be considerably less and it doesn’t have to be freezing cold either.
The same with gas vehicles.
It really depends on what you’re towing. Something aerodynamic like an airstream will have less reduction in range vs a box trailer. From what I understand, aerodynamics has more effect than weight (within reason).
We have not seen the winter range for this platform yet. It is not the same as the Bolt. I expect that they have addressed this in some way be it in the battery or in a winter mode like many of the latest cars are using.
This has improved things from 30% loss to below 10% or Better. It will be interesting to see how GM addressed this.
I hope you are correct. My personal experience and research on the new technology hasn’t shown that big of a difference so only time will tell. I see ~20 percent drop on my EV at 40 degrees down to freezing then it’s worse. Looking at existing technology EV’s in other brands they are about the same. Add the extra weight of a loaded trailer and that drops further.
I realize ICE vehicles also lose range in the same situations but there are gas stations at every corner so refills are not an issue. My experience with charging.. not so much.
I also realize most truck owners whether EV or ICE rarely use their trucks as trucks so it is a mute discussion really.
So when do we get the full reveal on the electric GMC Sierra Denali?
Chicago was normally the GMC show. It is set for Feb baring Covid and other Chicago craziness.
That might be a good guess?
cool, thanks.
It should be noted that there is no way that the WT will have the same range with the smaller battery though it is listed here as 400.
There will be different battery sizes. The WT will be available with the same 400mi range battery as the RST. SO the chart is accurate, what’s not exactly accurate is saying the 400 mile range WT will be the $39k price. The $39 price will be the smaller battery no doubt.
Keep in mind the more electronic features in use the quicker the vehicle will run thru its charge. There not as many features on the work truck so actually it could get the same or close to the same range as the RST.
All things have to be taken into consideration when talking range.
Looks like a jazzed up early Honda Ridgeline body. Not impressed! Plus how much will battery replacement cost be? Probably more than a long block gas engine. And I don’t relish sitting for hours waiting for recharge on the interstate even with the claimed range.
Comparing the Silverado Pickup EV and the HUMMER EV is like comparing a Honda Ridgeline and a Chevy Colorado.
They are Compacts.
End of comparison!
Different buyers. Different uses.
I owned 3 Avalanches and am now in a Silverado. Wish they would come back with an Avalanche 6.2 Gas Motor.
