General Motors unveiled the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV in conjunction with the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, revealing a brand-new, all-electric version of the popular pickup. In addition to an electric powertrain, the new Silverado EV also debuts new styling, and now, we’re looking over a set of battery-driven Chevy truck sketches from GM Design.
Recently posted to the GM Design Instagram feed (@generalmotorsdesign), the sketches look quite a bit like the production fascia for the new 2024 Chevy Silverado EV. The future Chevy truck design incorporates a long horizontal lighting strip, linking signature lighting elements in the upper corners with a prominent light bar across the middle of the grille. The Chevy Bow Tie badge is placed high and center, while additional lighting elements can be found lower in the grille.
As for the grille itself, this future Chevy truck design keeps most of the fascia blocked off. Unlike internal combustion-powered vehicles, all-electric vehicles don’t necessarily need a ton of fresh airflow to keep mechanical components cool. Rather, the fascia is blocked off the reduce aerodynamic drag and increase average range-per-charge.
Additional future Chevy truck design sketches show the sides and rear of the vehicle, including oversized wheels and thin tires, as expected of a concept. Notably, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is set to become the first production vehicle to wear 24-inch wheels right from the factory, a trend that was predicted by GM design chief Michael Simcoe back in 2019. According to Simcoe, 24-inchers, and even 26-inch wheels are coming, continuing the plus-sized wheel style to new extremes.
Naturally, these concepts are a whole other level, exaggerating the styling elements for maximum visual impact. Nevertheless, the look does well to show where the new 2024 Chevy Silverado EV came from in terms of aesthetic.

Those renders look superior to the final product.
Oftentimes concepts do…because they’re unburdened with practical considerations like, being street legal, feasibility of construction, functionality, ergonomics, price, etc. Having said that, the pre-production designs look great IMHO.
Other than these future trucks will continue to run gas. LMAO. These zealots get worse every week
Jesus what you don’t get about American truck Consumers is that we LIKE BIG VEHICLES… pickup trucks have be become like the personal luxury coupes in 1970’s. People back then wanted a giant car even if they didn’t need it… The same with pick up trucks not all of them are used for work sometimes a person buys a pickup for his/her personal vehicle. And don’t call American people STUPID remember we bailed you out of WW2 and we are still helping Europe with B. S. PARIS ACCORD FOR FUEL PRICING WHICH IS UNFAIR TO AMERICA BUT HELPS EUROPE AND OTHER COUNTRIES. So if you don’t like the American’s things then why live in our country?!
Except they won’t run on gas. The entire industry is going electric. Most of Europe already is.
It must be sad being triggered over such a change.
But, Americans are painfully stupid. I don’t think they’ll ever catch up with the rest of the world.
LMAO, except they were supposed to drop SUV’s in the early 2K, and the EV1 was supposed to be the eletric age, and any other number of failed predictions. Are the sales there? No! The market will dictate that gas engine remain, and do so until for the foreseeable future.
Doesn’t seem like you can see very far Jake
Don’t forget hydrogen. I remember gm supposedly betting the company on hydrogen about twenty years ago and investing billions in it.
Over 7 billion people in the world. Only 350 million of them don’t drive electric cars?…wow I’d say we are pretty far behind. You have opened my eyes. How dare we! I’m sure Russia or China will fix this and lead us to the promised land…
I don’t think a minority group of knuckle draggers capture the entire American market. If you want an EV in America the wait list is longer than a gas vehicle. The demand far exceeds the supply.
Most Americans know value when they see it Mr Mike. For most of us there is no value in electric vehicles at this point so we don’t buy them. Therefore the auto manufacturers are not producing them in the same numbers as vehicles with ICE. When someone actually decides to buy one of those over priced only good for 240 miles at a time POS there aren’t many waiting on the lot. Car manufacturers are all about making profits and EVs are the opposite of that at this point so why make them in huge supply I guess is my point. If you want something new and different just to have something new and different have fun waiting for it.
I’d buy an EV in a second if it met my desires. Has to be comparable to an Equinox in usable dimensions and safety. Has to have a range over 300 miles. And it should be “around” $40k. Right now there are none that do that. But I can see how with current tech, it can be done in the next 5 years.
Following anything the “world” does is generally bad advice for any country that follows it and most don’t. Look at what being in a “world economy has done”. What foreigners and anti Americans don’t understand (which category are you jesus?) we love our freedom and independence. We don’t care if you drive an ev, wear 2 masks by yourself and still get the rona. Don’t tell us what to do. We make our own decisions whether you like it or not.
Most of Europe is on electric? Please post your sources because you are so off
The main reason most European countries can do it is because of their size and distance to destination. Let’s take Texas for instance. Countries of Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Macedonia, and Hungary all fit inside the boarders of Texas TOGETHER. It’s roughly 870 miles border to border. It should take on average about 12 to 14 hours to cross. Who is going to wait that much longer to charge their truck? And how long can these EVs go, 200 miles plus the wait of charging at 45 minutes a stop with a supercharger. Pass
Even with very fast refill times and gas stations all over the place, a car with a 200 mile range would be irritating.
I do think there is a place for EVs, but the advocates are doing the public a disservice when they gloss over the obvious issues with any sort of long distance travel.
They just aren’t suited for that.
They have a place. Urban and big cities. Out in the country and burbs I don’t think they will be as popular. Local fleet delivery companies would benefit too. Planned runs where you know the mileage.
If it wasn’t for Americans you wouldn’t have trucks. They would be 3 wheel utility vehicles that can’t get out of their own way. American vehicles are first and foremost. We developed transportation and the rest of the foreign industry uses our transmissions, motors and thinking to try to out do us. BMW , by the way wouldn’t have a word to say if not for the American market. Did you know that BMW trannys are usually made by gm? What company thats foreign makes a good truck? Volvo? It’s Ford inspired, Isuzu? It’s owned by gm and Toyota. Name more! You can’t, cause anyone who makes a truck today is affiliated with American companies. Toyota good truck, but no good for heavy construction and pulling. Also influenced by gmholdings in the co.. Nissan,no contest,, it’s a garbage truck, Honda is influenced by gm holding in the Co. ,and is made by Isuzu with a Honda motor. Stay off this website if you don’t have constructive things to say.
If you think the whole industry is going electric! Will that be before the glaciers melt in year 3000? I think not! This sham is almost over. We have an abundance of fossil fuel to tap, as long as they don’t keep on blowing up those pipelines! Lol
just a opinion be it right or wrong. Bill
What is the price and availability of the other trim levels?
In my opinion, With all this attention that 2024 the E- Silverado is getting , The next generation Chevy Colorado will have no excitement to it , It will be looked at as just another miner changed mid size pickup truck ! I will be disappointed and windup just keeping ,My 2015 Colorado LT crew cab long bed with Trailor towing V6 44000 mile with no problems ! It goes in for It regular routine service .
Why would anyone buy a Colorado these days… at least one with a V-6. The Silverado with the 5.3L engine gets the same or slightly better gas mileage. I’d prefer to pay a little more upfront and have the comfort and flexibility that comes along with the larger truck.
Nope. We own both, the V6 averages about 3mpg better. The room is better in the fullsize but I prefer the midsize. It fits better on trails and in town. It drives better too. Has enough payload and towing and is cheaper overall trim to trim. The next gen with the turbo 4 should be awesome and increase the mpg and towing too. I’ll take the CCLB any day, especially with the cost of full size trucks Sky rocketing with the luxury content. Many just prefer the size and buy what is useful for them as trucks are a tool. Unfortunately people like you buy them as a status symbol and talking points with having no use for one. If I tow a 20ft boat I’m not buying a HD truck, that is not the right tool for all my jobs, trucks are tools…
Good, the over done futuristic styling is not for me. Refresh the interior, add some tech, give us a powerful turbo engine, keep the CCLB and add an inch or two of rear legroom is perfect. Give the towing and payload a little bump too.
I wish they would’ve stuck a little closer to the silver model. It has sharper and more masculine lines than the production model. I like that the production model uses a bow-tie up front as it should be, but I think it looks nicer when Chevrolet is spelled out across the tailgate. I don’ like the first red image at all, things could have been worse lol.
You eco-losers don’t know anything… Nobody wants a garbage truck EV… Production of EV components are by far worse for the environment than some piddly amount of CO2 from combustion engines… Not to mention the waste issues. You can say what you want bout Americans… Their the only ones thinking big picture, and the car makers are gonna pay dearly for their short minded decisions.
An Avalanche with a Camaro front end. The buttress design element tying the cab to the bed is godawful.
EVs are not the issue it’s the market and a squarebody restyle that looks gas but has a electric powertrain would be cool I just hate that they try so hard to make it look like an electric vehicle why can’t it just look like a gas car but hat and electric powertrain I think I’ll be EVs are ugly
Listen I’m old school GM I like it anything made before 2007 before AFM ruined their engines in the trucks.. but I digress maybe if I drove one and it really blew me away and was super powerful then I would be excited but it has to look cool too and not like a stupid futureistic of the mobile just make it look like it’s regular Silverado but have a thousand horsepower EV powertrain in it but make it be two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive not all wheel drive I want to be able to rip sideways too when I’m in the dirt not just get traction we like to blow sideways and burn out and stuff and you can’t do that with all-wheel drive as good Yes you can drift with all-wheel drive but it’s not as cool
AFM ruined them? How so? Let me guess you read about it on soke forums from the same people posting over and over and neglect their engines? The less than 1% of failures? Trucks these day are more reliable than 20 years ago. I’ll drive a 200k mile truck across the country without batting an eye, I’d second guess those kind of miles on older vehicles and doing the same. Granted they are easier to work on they are less reliable. Gotta stop living in the past, AFM Improved and extended the life of the V8, you should be thankful. All manufacturers have rogue failures, GM does on occasion with AFM, but they are few and far between and there are thousands of them in the 100’s of thousands of miles without issues…
Where’s the two-door edition? You offered no insight as to why the cab and bed bodywork are integrated.
There isn’t gonna be a 2 door edition. Crew Cab framework is needed for the battery layout; and aledgedly most sales are crew cab they say….
pity
A Cyber Truck without the sharp edges. I’ll stick with the Rivan….
I have a 2015 Silverado and I have waited over a year to replace it. I am going to replace it with the all-new edition pick-up as soon as I can. I will purchase another ICE pick-up and after driving it for the next 6 years, I will then look at what the world has to offer me six years out. I have no idea how far EV will be advanced at that time. This is my plan and I write this without any prejudice.
Never could understand why GM always seems to tip their cards so the world can copy from product future designs. Who does it benefit? The design team! The Japanese will have this out before the ink is dry on this rendition drawing. When Bob Lutz worked at GM, he stopped this sort of thing. He knew that it benefited only the competition.
Even if they were able to build vehicles with all that is needed to meet all the regulations and look great like the concepts, it wouldn’t mean a thing if they didn’t make them reliable and dependable and competitive.
Tom I am with you on trying to understand why GM has to go so long from showing their vehicle to actually selling them. Heck GM will show you what’s coming and the competition will show theirs 6 Months after GM and still have theirs on the market a year if not more before GM does.
I bought a ’17 Bolt for my son. It’s been stuck in recall hell for 13-14 months. Battery pack replacement is supposed to happen next week followed by GM’s ‘buy back’ exchange for a 2022 Bolt. I will believe it when I see it.
So they are building a lifted El Camino?
Joe I don’t know your age , but my friend you must not know what a El Camino was ! They started building them in 1959 and were first based off the full size Chevy station wagon with the roof covering the front full length set and With a rear open bed , They ended by using The Chevy Chavelle ! These vehicle were car based , Not a trucks !
Long live the internal combustion engine!!
I understand the government is pushing the automotive industry into moving in the direction of electric vehicle. But Chevrolet need to retire the Silverado name with the gas engine.. Don’t put it on what they want to call a truck. They did away with the Avalanche just to bring it back to make it even a more sad looking “truck”! G.M. do the Silverado name justice and retire the name. And PLEASE don’t come back with the Monte Carlo name and put it on one of these sad looking vehicle. At least Ford got most of it right and kept a lot of the real truck look. Guess I have to buy 1 more new Silverado with real engine that will last me the rest of my life.
Seriously? Ford got it right? When, exactly? Was it when they names their EV a ‘Mustang’? Give me a break!
First off, the Avalanche was a great and versatile truck. Only Chevrolet’s poor marketing of the truck let every owner down.
As for poor Gary being disappointed with an EV Silverado, many people don’t have the same opinion. In fact, when reservations opened for the new ‘Silverado EV’, they were all gone within 12 minutes. I’d be the first to agree that the pricing needs a lot of work. Paying six figures for any truck is ridiculous. For a truck that’s allegedly being marketed to everyone, it’s absurd. But apparently it may not be too high, since so many people want one.
Stormy Gary is stuck in the stone age…if ICE trucks are so much better then why is GM having lifter issues with their good ol’ V8 engines that are time tested and proven? Why is Ford have turbo failure issues with the F150 turbo V6… I can tell you why it’s what happens when you try to fit a dinosaur with modern technology… It inevitably falls apart… The ICE engine is maxed out face the facts they can’t do anymore to make it more efficient or better for the environment! I will buy the the SILVERADO EV!
so the full size truck with the 5.3 gets the same or better mileage than a colorado with a v6 …. THATS A GOOD ONE … i would like to know what that is based on
Hate to be a ass or anything but we are trying to go electric without the infrastructure to support said cars. Look at Cali. They are having issues support the electric cars they have now
I just drove from NY to Florida then Florida back to NY 2 days South 2 days North 12-15 hrs drive stayed the night 12-15 2nd day same on the way back depended on traffic …. Diesel 2500 HD 4 fill ups 20 mpg each stop 15 minutes for Fuel about 500 miles a tank at a Max of 400 miles a charge on Electric how long would my stops be to charge it back to full ? How many days to make it with Electric? And in the middle of all this there was the big storm where everyone was stranded on I95 thankfully I drove further west 95 to 26 to 70 to ,81 so what happens if someone runs out of power on the roadside bring a can of electricity? a 4-5 day trip with 4 hr stops to recharge EV? Electric will never be the answer in my opinion!!
And by the way I see ZERO recharging Station the 2800 mile trip
I’m a former GM Technician and have always been a die hard GM fan. Other than a future purchase of a Duramax I wouldn’t buy any other POS they are making!
I’m not interested in an ev, but I know many are. That’s fine. There’s room for gas and electric. Different options for the consumer are good.
In m day we had many many option. You buy a plain jane economy car or a fully loaded luxury or muscle car and could travel across country in each of them. I don’t see that happening with an electric vehicle. The sad parts they are not going to gives gasoline guys any choice. By the time the get to all electric it is unlikely I will be around to see it. Feel sorry for the younger generation of gear heads.
Electric vehicles are like used condoms not very useful!!
I understand the direction the industry is going but can Trucks and car be designed to be more visually appealing, not look like a electric vehicle in front. If it’s a appealing to the eye it will sell, pass GM sales prove that.
Plus get away from those low budget looking wheels. The electric car or truck exterior appearance needs to go to another level !!!!
Please tell me you’re joking… that thing is butt ugly and looks like something a 4th grader came up with.
