The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV carries on the Bow Tie electric pickup into a second model year with several notable updates. Along with a considerably expanded range of exterior colors, the truck adds more sets of Chevy Silverado EV wheels to the lineup, bringing the total to six available styles.
The three variants of the WT trim, the 2WT, 5WT and 8WT, share the same style of standard 18-inch 2025 Chevy Silverado EV wheels, while the LT trim gets a different set of standard wheels and the RST boasts a third. The LT also offers three sets of optional 22-inch rollers:
18-Inch Steel Wheel (RT3)
18-Inch High Gloss Black Painted Aluminum Wheel (RIP)
22-Inch Machined Face Aluminum Wheel With Aero Inserts (Q7L)
22-Inch Black Painted Aluminum Wheel (LPO, SES)
22-Inch Gloss Black Wheel With Machine Face (LPO, SEU)
24-Inch Carbon Flash Metallic Aluminum Wheel With Machined Face (RJ2)
The Chevy Silverado EV wheels for the 2025 model year come in three diameters, including 18-inch, 22-inch and 24-inch rollers. One of the wheel styles – the 18-inch High Gloss Black painted aluminum wheel (RPO code RIP) – is optional on two of the Work Truck variants, the 5WT and 8WT, as well as being standard on the LT trim.
The LT also gets a single optional wheel choice among the Chevy Silverado EV wheels, the 22-inch machined face aluminum wheel with aero inserts (RPO code Q7L). This is included in the trim-specific LT Premium Package (RPO code XTF), which adds $6,800 to the Extended Range variant of the LT. The following table includes the relevant details for the current wheel lineup:

As noted, the LT trim was added for 2025 between the WT and RST trims, and includes an array of conveniences such as Bose audio and heated and ventilated front seats, safety features, and unique styling cues as standard. The Multi-Flex Midgate and GM Super Cruise are two of the more important options for the trim. The Silverado EVÂ Trail Boss failed to be available at launch as originally planned, but will arrive partway through the model year or as a 2026 model.
Pricing is at its most affordable for the 2WT trim equipped with the Standard Range battery, starting at $57,095 MSRP. Price climbs to $97,895 for the Max Range battery-equipped RST trim. Only currently offering LT and RST trims, the online configurator for the truck is live on the Chevy website.
With Wide Open Watts mode engaged, an estimated 645 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque is churned out by the LT trim. GM battery technology and GM drive motor technology provide motivation to the pickup, with all trims and variants featuring 4WD. Range per charge is 422 miles for Extended Range variants and 492 miles for Max Range vehicles.
The Silverado EV rides on the GM BT1 platform for both of its current model years. Production takes place alongside other EV models at the GM Factory Zero plant in Hamtramck, Michigan.
