GM announced that the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT electric pickup will have 450 miles of range on a single charge – significantly higher than expected.
It is still planned for this spring.
While GM is a bit late on its rival Ford in the pickup market with an electric option, it might be worth the wait.
When the automaker first announced the Silverado EV last year, GM said that it estimated the top range to be about 400 miles for Silverado EV Work Truck (WT), which is going to be the first version available and for fleets.
Today, GM updated the Silverado EV Work Truck’s range with an EPA-estimated range of 450 miles:
GM commented on the higher than expected range:
In the release about the range increase, GM claims to still be “on track to launch in the spring of 2023.”
The first edition is expected to feature 510 horsepower, 615 lb-ft of torque, 1,200 lb. of payload capacity, and 8,000 lb. of towing capacity. That towing capacity is a bit limited, but GM says that a Max Towing Package will upgrade the capacity to up to 20,000 lb. in 2025.

Today, GM updated the Silverado EV Work Truck’s range with an EPA-estimated range of 450 miles:
It’s indeed much more than the Ford Lightning’s 320 miles of range with an Extended Battery pack and 328 miles for the Rivian R1T with the highest range configuration.
GM commented on the higher than expected range:
The automaker also added that while the 450-mile version will be the first available, the Silverado EV WT will also have a smaller battery pack option with a “GM-estimated 350 miles of range on a full charge” that will come “soon after launch.”

This is just the base "Work Truck" with a max battery, correct? At what price? Can the general public buy it? Good number to hit from a PR perspective.
How far will the range drop once its jacked up with 35's, light bars, HD bumpers, skids plates, etc....that the PU crowd loves to slap on?
