The all-electric Silverado EV lineup is expanding with the introduction of the new 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT, offering electric truck buyers more options in terms of price and features. Positioned between the entry-level Work Truck (WT) and the high-end RST, the LT trim looks to provide a balance between affordability, capability, and advanced tech features. Range-per-charge estimates top out at 408 miles.
Starting at $75,195, the LT trim is expected to quality for the federal tax incentive for eligible customers. For those seeking a bit more luxury, the LT Premium Package is available for $81,995, offering a reduced range of 390 miles, but adding more premium features to the mix. Models equipped with the LT Premium Package are also expected to qualify for the federal tax credit.
Among the LT’s standout features are 300 kW DC fast charging capability, enabling rapid recharging at compatible public chargers. The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT also rolls on standard 18-inch aluminum wheels, with the option for 22-inch accessory wheels opening up later in the model year. Design-wise, the LT sports a distinct lower front fascia, enhanced lighting, and a illuminated front bowtie emblem. Exclusive Blue Smoke Metallic paint further distinguishes this trim.

Inside, the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT boasts a massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen and an 11-inch driver information center as standard. Motivation is provided by dual GM Ultium Drive motors delivering up to 645 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque in Wide Open Watts mode. This enables the LT to tow up to 12,500 pounds and carry a payload of up to 1,800 pounds. GM Ultium batteries are onboard for the juice.
For those looking to step up, the LT Premium Package offers additional luxury and utility features like the available Multi-Flex Midgate, which extends the truck’s load floor to nearly 11 feet. GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver assist and trailering system is also available with this package.

As is the case for the rest of the Silverado EV lineup, the 2025 Chevy Silverado EV LT will ride on the GM BT1 platform, while production will take place at GM’s Factory Zero facility in Detroit. Look for the first units to begin shipping before the end of the year.

Saw my first one today sitting on a dealer lot. It was very white and looked strange with no grill. I realize they don’t need a grill but at least paint the grill area black or silver.
Get a WT Silverado EV then, it has a fake black grill if you need to have it.
I find it without the grill it looks better.
I’m ICE all the way.
Needs the diesel for reliability.
LMAO
If I were Mary Bara and faced with the reality of how poorly these are currently selling, I’d be paring back the models to no more than three, possibly only two. There is way too much complexity involved in producing seven trim levels for a product only selling 5,000 – 7,500 units per year. I know they’re following what they do with the big ICE trucks but they have the volume, and, importantly, the profitability to support it. Here, the products are losing money and have niche’-level volumes.
Selling poorly? LMAO they are actually selling fine.
I commute 60 miles per day around a large Midwestern city and I have seen one and it was unsold on the dealer lot, so definitely not selling many here.
I have yet to see one anywhere on the road. They are always sitting on dealer lots somewhere unsold
Meh,
GM was planning to build these trucks at Hamtramck along with the Hummer EV and Escalade EV. I believe that plant can build around 325,000 vehicles. In addition they were retooling Orion to build another 400,000 units beginning in summer of 2024 so together it looks like GM was anticipating building half a million annually. Being generous they maybe have sold 7,500 in the last year (they’ve actually built that many but haven’t sold that many). That’s dramatically below expectations so, yes, they are selling poorly. They’re proving to be niche’ vehicles at best when GM apparently thought, based on how many they planned to build, that they’d be completely replacing the ICE lineup of trucks by now.
Last year GM was battery constrained, this year they got battery production in line, now they are just adjusting schedules.
75 to 82K is affordable? Only in the clown world of the 2020’s
You are forgetting to factor in the tax credit you can get applied to the vehicle at the dealership that’s an additional 7500 off the top.
On 80K that barely makes a difference and is still fantasyland money for a pickup truck. And don’t expect this giveaway to prop up EV sales to last forever.
at the base model that’s 50K and even if you purchase the higher end WTs over the life of the vehicle the costs in maintenance and fuel you save will make up for it.
Lmao Affordable WHERE?
Stop pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining.
Since i retired im not driving 120 miles a day at $3.50 a gal. ! I only drive to town and back about 17 miles ! Having a mid range model chevy EV is sounding more and more a possible option ! My only worry would be battery replacement after 10 years of use !
Batteries today are expected to last longer than the vehicles themselves.
The mid gate doesn’t come standard which is head scratcher if your trying move lots of units to contractors etc .. that’s and more range was major difference bewtten the lighting and the ev Sliverado
