CHEVROLET SILVERADO EV

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV enters its second model year with a significant lineup restructuring: the RST trim has been discontinued and replaced by a new off-road focused Trail Boss trim, and the battery/range naming has been standardized across the board into three tiers — Standard Range, Extended Range, and Max Range — offered across the WT (Work Truck), LT, and Trail Boss trims. All models ride on GM's dedicated BT1 electric platform with 800-volt architecture and dual-motor AWD as standard equipment.
