2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition
The GM Authority Take
After the first full year of Chevy Silverado EV sales, the truck more than doubled deliveries over the previous quarter, which it has essentially done each time since arriving. This quarter, the Bow Tie brand now sells the Silverado EV RST First Edition variant and the fleet-focused base model Silverado EV Work Truck (WT). Other trim levels are on the way in the coming year.
The all-electric truck’s corporate cousin, the GMC Sierra EV, is now on sale with deliveries on the way and will join the new, growing battery-electric pickup truck space next quarter.
2024 Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition
About Chevrolet Silverado EV
The first-ever 2024 Chevy Silverado EV officially debuted at CES 2022, arriving in the well-equipped RST First Edition and fleet-focused WT trim levels.
The all-electric Silverado was engineered from the ground up to be exclusively an electric vehicle. Rather than utilizing the automaker’s T1 truck platform, the all-new pickup truck leverages the available 24-module Ultium Battery pack as a fundamental part of the vehicle’s structure. The Chevy Silverado EV rides on a variant of the GM BT1 platform that underpins the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, powered by Ultium Batteries and Ultium Drive motors. Among many other firsts for GM full-size pickups, the BT1 platform also utilizes an independent front and rear suspension system.
The RST trim level arrives with a long feature list, debuting as the RST First Edition. A Trail Boss trim will launch as a 2025 model. Other trims, such as a new Custom trim level that GM Authority was first to report about and a High Country trim, are expected to join the lineup in the near future.
The RST First Edition features GM’s Adaptive Air Ride suspension as standard and four-wheel steering for improved maneuverability, like that of the Hummer EV Pickup.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado EV 3WT and 4WT deliver an estimated 393 miles and 450 miles of range from a full charge, respectively. The 4WT delivers true pickup truck capabilities with a maximum tow rating of 10,000 pounds and a maximum payload rating of 1,400 pounds, while the 3WT gets a new fleet package with an even higher tow capacity of 12,500 pounds.
This past spring, the Chevy Silverado EV RST First Edition received a lower price and higher range estimate, actually achieving a 460-mile range in real-world testing.
Naturally, the Chevy Silverado EV will draw comparisons to the ICE-based Chevy Silverado 1500. Check out our exterior and interior dimensional comparison for both models.
The online configurator tool is live for the 2024 Silverado EV.
2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT
The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV will offer three batteries for the Work Truck. Additionally, the 2WT, 5WT, and 8WT trims get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the LT, RST, and RST First Edition are equipped exclusively with just Google built-in.
GM released first images of the upcoming 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT trim level, and here’s what features the new variant will get. Meanwhile, here are real-world photos of the upcoming 2025 Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss.
Production of the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV is scheduled to start on September 3rd.

Comments
Reasons why it’s last
1. TOO EXPENSIVE!
2. Surplus of charging stations isn’t up to par, especially here in Midwest. Don’t have enough of them.
3. Time to charge take way to long compared to filling up with gas.
4. Range is very misleading especially depending on what is running on vehicle (A/C, heater, radio) all of these affect the range.
5. Towing destroys the range of the vehicle.
6. DID I MENTION THEY ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE
GM should have not pushed this “woke” propaganda, and worked on HYBRID powertrains.
Well, we could argue about reason 1 and the repeated reason 6 (because all the EV trucks are expensive), but reasons 2-5 have nothing to do with why the other all electric trucks outsold it.
To get my money back My Chevy Silverado Ev broke1,700 mi after I purchased it’s a sitting in the Chevy dealer almost 2 months it’s all electric so if it’s broken on the highway or street you guys cannot put it on the neutral you cannot tow it it’s almost 9,000 lb rock you purchasing $80,000
So you got a Silverado that failed like any new car that can do something break, You can put these things in neutral and tow them if the software is smart enough to allow it. Also why can’t your Chevy dealer fix it? Not smart enough or lack of parts? Either one is not the fault of the truck
@TNTWIT
That’s the best comeback you have? Yes, reasons 2-5 have all the reasons to why its last. Why would anyone buy an electric vehicle if there aren’t places to charge it!!! Why would anyone take 3 hours to charge when they can gas up an ICE vehicle in 5 minutes! Range is a huge buying sell! Why worry about places to charge and how long you can go for while driving or on vacation. The stress of finding a station is idiotic! You are the “twit” for not thinking that. Have a great day
Number 2 the amount of charging stations, Have you ever road tripped any EV? You will find there are more than enough EV charging stations to make a trip to almost anyplace in the lower 48. Most people have homes and day to day charge there.
Number 3 Typically are charging at home and wont even notice how long it takes to charge since its done while your sleeping.
Number 4 Range is misleading on all cars. Most are nothing like the the label. Yes it will be something you need to investigate and understand before you buy.
Number 5. Towing destroys 1halfs the range of the vehicle because your towing a brick behind you.
It also destroys the range of any truck. If you were getting 20mpg your getting 10 or less towing a trailer.
“Reasons why it’s last”
Lists reasons that pretty much apply to every vehicle on the list.
What “woke propaganda” are you talking about? It was a business decision and they have to live with that. Unless you are a major stockholder you have to live with that as well. And you still have the option to choose from a wide range of good reliable ICE powered pickup trucks. Adoption of the EV’s will be a gradual process, just wait and see.
The problem is there is a big disconnect between who the expected customer is for these EV pickups and who the actual customers land up being. Your typical pickup truck customer, many who are ranchers and farmers that live in deep God country on America, won’t be interested in these. Especially when they tow horses, livestock, feed trailers, tractors and kill their range by 1/3rd and have no supercharger near by. The people buying these are the same people buying the Teslas in the first place. The novelty item seekers. Which is why the Cybertruck is leading here.
Also, I am curious to know who even uses pickup trucks in their fleets other than UHaul and my local transit agencies And that aren’t chassis derived vehicles. Every contractor, tradesman, or delivery company that I know and work with uses enclosed vans to carry and protect their equipment. So I am not sure who the customer even is for the overpriced base model of this truck. Ford actually was smarter by offering an electric Transit. I feel this is what GM should have done but it probably would have required a redesign of the Express/Savana.
5. Towing destroys the range of the vehicle.
Yes it gets about 200 miles of towing heavy things. Is that unusable if its saving you hundreds in gas a week.
That’s because most trucks get about 5 miles to the gal towing. Kind of tough on the pocket book when you go to refill the truck.
Most carpenters, plumbers, HVAC guys don’t go hundreds of miles a day towing something heavy.
They might tow a trailer of gear local and its no big deal to recharge at night when they get home.
You also have a portable electric outlet to run gear with.
@Bob
Most people have a truck now for a family hauler and towing toys around. I use mine to tow my boat, side by side, and atv. NO I DON”T get 5 mpgs when towing. My 6.2L gets around 11 mpgs while towing. Your argument is filled with false facts and ignorance.
You are filled with misconceptions as well. How far are you towing that boat with your boat? What’s your daily commute? Do you like your kids and want them to have clean air to breath? And at 11mpg is that 1/2 your normal mpg? By the way many people get a lot less when towing. Average is 8mpg.
Ugly. Why didn’t they make it look like the Silverado rst. This looks like that ugly avalanche. Ford kept their lightning like the f 150.
More range than the F150, faster charging than the F150. Maybe its not what you like but being able to stick a canoe in the back and close back makes it a winner in my book. I bet you can easily tow something about 200 miles.
Can’t afford it but its the best EV truck out there. Has it all
It’s a good looking vehicle but I’m not spending that much money for a limited use tool.
Looking like f150 is recovering Okish , initially sales not breaching 4k is disturbing if your GM . Rivian is still bleeding money
They killed Impala & Camaro which had better sales numbers than any of these various EV models. I went by the largest Chevy dealer in NE MS this morning. Nothing left to see but pickups and SUV/CUE. Same 10 Blazer/Equinox gathering dust. Nothing exciting anymore, just transportation and appliances.
How many did GM (ESTIMATE) would be sold?
How many can they make?
By historical GM standards, these are pitiful sales figures. All of the Ultium products have been flops. No one is saying that out loud but they are. Remember GM was retooling Orion to build 400,000 of these EV pickups per year so that’s where the company thought their sales figures would be. Instead they sell 3,257 units. They were originally planning on Orion to be churning out those numbers now (Summer of 2024) so these trucks have to be hugely disappointing for GM. Any other product that was selling so poorly would be dropped but I suspect GM is going to hang on to all these electrics for years hoping sales improve. Maybe they will but so far, going “all-in” on EVs doesn’t look to have been well thought-out.
GM has so much working against them. They let LG run their battery tech, which left them with burning Bolts.
They are still recovering from that when they released the Blazer for 10K more than the estimated which
gets awful reviews and then gets recalled. You also have car dealers that hate EV’s because there is no back room repair money and oil changes. Now the equinox and blazer has crap charge speeds, mediocre range, mediocre performance and they lack road trip navigation software and charging experience. Tesla makes charging and road tripping a breeze. In general someone at GM has been smoking crack. The Silverado EV on the other hand was built way better. Hats off and KUDOS to those guys where ever you are. Charges fantastic. Gets great range. Does it job and doesn’t complain. I can’t afford it but would gladly buy it if I could. Its great on a road trip and I would even not complain about the bad road trip software. Its just that useful. Most plumbers, carpenters tradesmen could use that truck and make their money back on gas savings alone.
Didn’t gm have about 100,00 or so reservations at $100 put down on these? Looks like the vast majority of potential customers have backed out.
It would be interesting to know just how many people did back out, or are waiting for other colors, I know I wouldn’t buy white or black. The solid black just isn’t my thing, but that seems to be what the younger buyers like, When a color other than black is used the massive amount of black plastic stands out and is ugly. Clear (or partial clear) brake lenses are another thing I don’t care for, and the lack or absence of chrome. I get it, the younger buyer most likely wouldn’t buy what I would, but do younger buyers in high enough numbers have 100k to spend on a truck that has limitations on use.
My guess is that the vast majority of these will be sold to businesses if the savings on maintenance are proven to be correct, and a small percentage to well to do buyers that would not use their pickup for what a pickup was traditionally purchased for.
Probably a bit early to predict success or failure as these are just starting to show up on dealer lots. But Ford obviously has a huge head start. Will be interesting to watch and see if Ford’s conventional F-150 styling and utility is more successful or if the GM differentiator approach is preferred, What’s not debatable is the Ford’s huge price advantage, 25k less for a nice Lariat or 15k less for a loaded up Limited. The GM product has a range advantage but given both have limited range compared to a gas version, I wonder how big of a difference that will make. What’s not in doubt is there will be plenty of opinions to sort through!
Cybertruck is already outselling Ford F150 Lightning even with its higher price. I think the Silverado EV is better than the Cybertruck costs less and GM is not doing much to promote the fact that towing round town can save you big money vs any gas truck. Gas trucks towing 6 or 7K get about 6 miles to a gal where the Silverado burns electrons and if charged at home costs a small fraction of that. There is an ROI for going EV.
We’ll see how long the Tesla hangs on. Most expensive and least practical, and that’s if the styling doesn’t completely turn you off. As far as ROI goes, only if you remove Time from the equation. If you’re ok burning 30 minutes to an hour to add a 100 miles of range on your weekend trip to the lake, I guess you’re right. I’m still working and my leisure time is more limited than my cash, I can fill an F-150 in 10 minutes or less and be on my way allowing me more time with my family. The 50 bucks I’ll spend on fuel is much less valuable to me than the birthday dinner I’d be late for or miss altogether.
Why are you all so cofused on time. You charge at night and leave with a full tank of electrons. If your going around town you have plenty to get around and back.
I already have limited use vehicles, 3 corvettes. I don’t need a limited use truck. If I did it would be the weird looking Tesla.
I have the Lyric Sport 3 i did not purchase the vehicle because of woke propaganda i test drove and the vehicle drives really nice it has great range and i could chat=rge in my driveway. My wife has a plug in hybrid so why not. Do Not knock it if you have not tried it
I have no problem with your CHOICE of this vehicle, but for me, I do have a major problem with the brutal depreciation people are going to have to deal with in 2 or 3 years.
Why do you think it’s going to tank in price? If it tanks because of better tech ICE will crater
Simple, Bob. See Tesla’s used market.
However, if you’re on board with EVs, have at it. Don’t you love the freedom of choice?
There is a lot going on with Hertz. It’ll iron out in a year.
I am all for hybrid drove my brothers jeep in California for a week. All for electric when they are as simple as an ICE. In 1900 the government did not quadruple the price of hay to make you buy a car.
